Minimum Mounting Clearance and Installation   
  Prevent fiber particles, scraps of paper, shredded wood saw dust, metal particles, etc. from adhering 
to the heat sink 
  Install the AC motor drive in a metal cabinet. When installing one drive below another one, use a 
metal separation between the AC motor drives to prevent mutual heating and to prevent the risk of 
accidental fire. 
  Install the AC motor drive in Pollution Degree 2 environments only: normally only nonconductive 
pollution occurs and temporary conductivity caused by condensation is expected.
