Chapter Objectives
This chapter provides information on mounting a PowerFlex 40 Standard
Configured Drive.
Mounting Considerations
Environment
Before deciding on an installation site, verify that the PowerFlex Drive
Packages are not installed in an area where the ambient atmosphere contains
volatile or corrosive gas, vapors or dust. The drives are to be installed per
the environmental rating they have been designed for.
Maximum Surrounding Air Temperature
PowerFlex 40 Standard Configured Drives are designed to operate at -10° to
40°C (14° to 104°F) surrounding air temperature. The design of the
PowerFlex Standard Configured Drive supports indoor and outdoor
applications that are not in direct sunlight.
Minimum Mounting Clearances
Be sure there is adequate clearance for air circulation around the drive. For
best air movement, do not mount drives directly above each other. Note that
no devices are to be mounted behind the drive. This area must be kept clear
of all control and power wiring.
