5.5.5 Installation
See the instructions for installing other DC link components (e.g. Braking Module, Capacitor
Module).
Arrangement of the Voltage Clamping Module:
The Voltage Clamping Module should ideally be placed directly next to the Line Module.
• For Line Modules up to and including 36 kW, it should be placed to the right of the Line
Module.
• For Active Line Modules as of 55 kW, it should be placed to the left of the Line Module
due to the current-carrying capacity of the DC link busbars.
• If the Voltage Clamping Module is to be installed in an existing drive line-up, it can also
be placed at the end.
