5 INSTALLATION
The installation section will be divided into two parts. The first will cover mechanical installation,
the second, electrical installation.
Read this manual thoroughly prior to attempting the installation. Improper installation is the most
significant cause of system start-up problems and service issues over the products life. Upon receipt
of the equipment, perform an external visual inspection. Verify that nameplate information is
consistent with the ships power requirements (required form, voltage, and frequency).
Proper planning will speed up installation, location, and connection of the equipment. Follow the
suggested minimum clearances provided in Table 1. Ensure the room/compartment has adequate
ventilation and cooling. The thermal load presented by AC24 will be substantial,
approximately 6,888BTU/Hr at maximum continuous load, 8,610BTU/Hr for the AC30, and
10,332BTU/Hr for the AC36.
THE CONVERTERS ARE HEAVY, WEIGHING UP TO 628lbs DEPENDING
UPON MODEL AND INSTALLED OPTIONS. EXTREME CAUTION MUST
BE EXERCISED IN HANDLING AND INSTALLATION TO AVOID
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE OR INJURY TO PERSONNEL. AN ADEQUATE
MATERIAL HANDLING DEVICE SHOULD BE USED FOR UNLOADING,
MOVING, AND POSITIONING THE SYSTEM.
