3.7 Enclosure
3.7.1 Enclosure Layout
Please observe the clearances in the diagram below taking into account
any appropriate notes for other devices / auxiliary equipment when
planning the installation.
Figure 3-14 Enclosure layout
3.7.2 Enclosure sizing
1. Add the dissipation figures from section 11.1.2 Power dissipation (all
versions) on page 191 for each drive that is to be installed in the
enclosure.
2. If an RFI filter is to be used with each drive, add the dissipation
figures from section 11.2.1 Ratings on page 197 for each RFI filter
that is to be installed in the enclosure.
3. If the braking resistor is to be mounted inside the enclosure, add the
average power figures for each braking resistor that is to be installed
in the enclosure.
4. Calculate the total heat dissipation (in Watts) of any other equipment
to be installed in the enclosure.
5. Add the heat dissipation figures obtained above. This gives a figure
in Watts for the total heat that will be dissipated inside the enclosure.
Calculating the size of a sealed enclosure
The enclosure transfers internally generated heat into the surrounding
air by natural convection (or external forced air flow); the greater the
surface area of the enclosure walls, the better is the dissipation
capability. Only the surfaces of the enclosure that are unobstructed (not
in contact with a wall or floor) can dissipate heat.
Calculate the minimum required unobstructed surface area A
e
for the
enclosure from:

Note: for EMC compliance
1) A separate RFI filter is
required for each drive
2) Power cabling must be
at least 100mm (4in) from
the drive in all directions
