Chapter 2 Plan the Kinetix 5500 Drive System Installation
System Design Guidelines
Use the information in this section when designing your enclosure and
planning to mount your system components on the panel.

System Mounting Requirements
• To comply with UL and CE requirements, the Kinetix 5500 drive
systems must be enclosed in a grounded conductive enclosure offering
protection as defined in standard IEC 60529 to IP20 such that they are
not accessible to an operator or unskilled person. A NEMA 4X
enclosure exceeds these requirements providing protection to IP66.
To maintain the functional safety rating of the Kinetix 5700 drive
system, this enclosure must be appropriate for the environmental
conditions of the industrial location and provide a protection class of
IP54 or higher.
• The panel that you install inside the enclosure for mounting your system
components must be on a flat, rigid, vertical surface that won’t be
subjected to shock, vibration, moisture, oil mist, dust, or corrosive
vapors in accordance with pollution degree 2 (IEC 61800-5-1) because
the product is rated to protection class IP20 (IEC 60529).
• Size the drive enclosure so as not to exceed the maximum ambient
temperature rating. Consider heat dissipation specifications for all drive
components.
• Combined motor power cable length for all axes on the same DC bus
must not exceed 250 m (820 ft). Drive-to-motor cables must not exceed
50 m (164 ft), however use of continuous-flex cable and 2198-H2DCK
converter kit limits the maximum length. Refer to Ta b l e 6
on page 30
for specifications by frame size.
• Use high-frequency (HF) bonding techniques to connect the modules,
enclosure, machine frame, and motor housing, and to provide a low-
impedance return path for high-frequency (HF) energy and reduce
electrical noise.

braided ground strap as shown in Figure 43 on page 80

Refer to the System Design for Control of Electrical Noise Reference Manual,
publication GMC-RM001
, to better understand the concept of electrical noise
reduction.
IMPORTANT System performance was tested at these cable length
specifications. These limitations also apply when meeting CE
requirements.
