The VLT frequency converter is cooled by means of
air circulation. For the unit to be able to release its
cooling air, the minimum distance over and below
the unit must be as shown in the illustration below.
To protect the unit from overheating, it must be en-
sured that the ambient temperature does not rise
above the max. temperature stated for the VLT fre-
quency converter and that the 24-hour average
temperature is not exceeded . The max. tempera-
ture and 24-hour average can be seen from the
General Technical section.
When installing the VLT frequency converter on a
non flat surface, i.e. a frame, please consult the in-
struction, MN.50.XX.YY .
If the ambient temperature is in the range of 45
C-
55
C, derating of the VLT frequency converter will
be required in accordance with the diagram in the
Design Guide. The service life of the VLT frequency
converter will be reduced if no allowance is made for
the derating for ambient temperature.
