3.2.2 Clearances
Figure 39: Clearances for thermal air cooling (example: RASP5)
Depending on the version, thermal clearances must be provided around the
RAMO5 and RASP5 Rapid Link 5 modules. Unobstructed handling must also be
ensured for versions with a repair and maintenance switch (
RAMO5-…-...RS1
and RASP5-…-...R…S1
) and in the area of the plug-in power connections .
The table below lists the recommended minimum clearances.

1) At an installation altitude up to 1000 m and at an ambient temperature of up to +40 °C no clearance is required
to the sides.
Units installed in higher ambient temperatures (up to a maximum of +50 °C), pulse frequencies f
PWM
(up to
maximum 32 kHz) and higher set-up altitudes (up to 2000 m) require lateral spacing of at least 20 mm.

Devices with high magnetic fields (e.g. reactors or transformers)
must not be mounted close to RAMO5 or RASP5 units.
