Mechanical Installation
Chapter Objectives
This chapter provides information on mounting a PowerFlex Drive Package
for Fan and Pump Applications.
Mounting Considerations
Environment
Before deciding on an installation site, verify that the PowerFlex Drive
Packages can be kept clean, cool and dry. The drives should be kept away
from oil, coolants or other airborne contaminants.
Maximum Surrounding Air Temperature
PowerFlex Drive Packages for Fan and Pump Applications are designed to
operate at 0…40 °C (32…104 °F) surrounding air temperature.
Minimum Mounting Clearances
Be sure there is adequate clearance for air circulation around the drive. For
best air movement, do not mount drives directly above each other. Note that
no devices are to be mounted behind the drive. This area must be kept clear
of all control and power wiring.
