Note the following points: 
• Cooling can be attained either by a sufficiently large 
backing plate (see Table 2.4) or by an additional cooler. 
The cooler must be mounted centrally behind the 
hottest area (1) of the device.
• The temperature on the rear panel of the inverter 
module must not exceed 85.0 °C. At a temperature 
> 85° C the device shuts down automatically. It can only be 
restarted when it has cooled.
• Required evenness of contact surface = 0.05 mm, maximum 
roughness of contact surface = roughness factor 6.3

Table 2.4 Required cooling with cold plate
Note the following points: 
• The backing plate must be grounded over a large area.
• For mounting in switch cabinets with convection (= heat loss is 
discharged to the outside via the cabinet walls) an internal air 
circulation fan must always be fitted.
• The best result for effective EMC installation is attained with a 
chromated or galvanized backing plate. If backing plates are 
varnished, the coating must be removed in the area of the contact 
surface!
