6. INSTALLATION
WARNING!
Do not interchange line and load connections
6.1 Prior to Installation
Check that LOAD RATED CURRENT (FLA) is lower than, or equal, to the TPS RATED CURRENT.
Note:
TPS RATED CURRENT (FLC)≥ LOAD RATED CURRENT In all 3 phases!!
Check that Mains and Control voltages are as indicated on the TPS side label.
Make sure TPS RATED CURRENT(FLC)≥ LOAD
RATED CURRENT! (In all 3 phases)
Make sure Mains voltage is right!
Make sure Control voltage is right!
TPS label - example
6.2 Mounting
The TPS must be mounted vertically. Allow sufficient space (at least 100mm) above and below the TPS for
suitable airflow.
It is recommended to mount the TPS directly on the rear metal plate for better heat dissipation.
Note:
Do not mount the TPS directly on the rear metal plate in case a ventilation fan or ventilation opening is on the
back side of the TPS.
Do not mount the TPS near heat sources.
Surrounding air temperature in the cabinet should not exceed 50ºC
Protect the TPS from dust and corrosive atmospheres.
Note: For harsh environments, it is recommended to order the TPS with printed circuit board coating. Refer to
section Error! Reference source not found. on page Error! Bookmark not defined. for ordering
information.
6.3 Temperature range & heat dissipation
The TPS is rated to operate over a temperature range of -10ºC (14ºF) to + 50ºC (122ºF).
Relative non-condensed humidity inside the enclosure should not exceed 95%.
ATTENTION!
Operating at surrounding air temp. (Inside the cabinet) higher than 50ºC may
cause damage to the TPS.
Heat Dissipation is:
1.3x3xI+FAN and TPS consumption rating
Where:
I is the RMS current of the TPS.
FAN and TPS consumption rating - is shown on the technical specifications page 42.
So, for example, the maximum heat dissipation for a 210A TPS is: 1.3x3x210+64=883Watt.
6.4 Protection bus-bars covers for power terminals.
Protection bus-bars covers can be fitted with power terminals.
Consult factory for this option.
