Introduction
Who Should Use This Manual
What Is Not in this Manual
This document provides procedural information for physically unloading,
moving, and installing PowerFlex® 6000 medium voltage drives.
This manual is intended for use by professional riggers, general contractors,
electrical contractors, or plant operations personnel familiar with moving and
siting heavy equipment. Specific experience with solid-state variable speed drive
equipment is NOT required for this part of the installation process, but is
mandatory for subsequent processes.
This manual provides information specific for physically unloading and situating
a PowerFlex 6000 drive. It does not include project-specific, or drive-specific
topics such as:
• Dimensional Drawings and Electrical Drawings that are generated for each
customer’s order.
• Spare parts lists compiled for each customer’s order.
• Drive-specific technical specifications.
See the following documents for additional product detail or instruction relating
to PowerFlex 6000 drives:

Information
This manual includes generic information about the drive cabinet layout
orientation and generic electrical connection information.
Review the project-specific Dimensional Drawings (DDs) and Electrical
Drawings (EDs) to better understand the specific drive system cabinet
orientation and wiring requirements before performing any mechanical or
electrical work. Paper copies of the DDs and EDs are placed in the document/
hardware box in the Isolation Transformer Cabinet before shipment. Contact the
local Rockwell Automation office to obtain digital copies, if necessary.

Preface
General Precautions
ATT EN TI ON : This drive contains ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) sensitive parts
and assemblies. Static control precautions are required when installing, testing,
servicing, or repairing this assembly. Component damage may result if ESD
control procedures are not followed. If you are not familiar with static control
procedures, reference Allen-Bradley publication 8000-4.5.2, “Guarding Against
Electrostatic Damage” or any other applicable ESD protection handbook.
ATT EN TI ON : An incorrectly applied or installed drive can result in component
damage or a reduction in product life. Wiring or application errors, such as,
undersizing the motor, incorrect or inadequate AC supply, or excessive ambient
temperatures may result in malfunction of the system.
ATT EN TI ON : Only personnel familiar with the PowerFlex 6000 Adjustable
Speed Drive (ASD) and associated machinery should plan or implement the
installation, startup, and subsequent maintenance of the system. Failure to
comply may result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.
ATT EN TI ON : Only qualified personnel with the correct PPE (Personal Protective
Equipment) should service the equipment. Be sure to follow the safety
procedures and local regulations to disconnect the high voltage. After waiting
for 15 minutes, open the cabinet door and verify the absence of medium
voltage on the input, output, and power cell terminals with a high-voltage
detector that is properly rated for the line and motor voltages. All LED lights on
the power cells must be off and the drive be grounded with portable grounding
cables on the input and output before servicing. Failure to follow the safety
procedures can result in severe injury or death.

Connect Shipping Splits
ATT EN TI ON : Install the drive on a level surface (+/- 1 mm per meter
[+/- 0.036 in. per 36 in.] of drive length in all directions). If necessary, use
metal shims to level the cabinets before joining them; attempting to level after
joining may twist or misalign the cabinets.
Connect DV/DT Filter Cabinet for A-Frame Drives
The standard A-Frame for PowerFlex 6000 drives comes fully assembled and does
not require any shipping splits. However, if a DV/DT filter is included with the
drive then there is one shipping split, and the drive and filter must be connected
as follows:
1. Remove the M16x16 countersunk screw that secures the LV covers and
grounding cover at the right side of the main drive, and the left side of the
filer cabinet. Then remove the covers.
2. Arrange the sections as described in the Dimensional Drawings and move
the sections together.

The H-Frame and B-Frame for PowerFlex 6000 drives are shipped in two
sections, the Isolation Transformer Cabinet and Power Module/LV Control
Cabinet. These two cabinets must be connected after located in its final position.
The cabinets are connected together in 8 or 10 places (depending on the drive
rating), half along the front edge of the cabinet and half along the rear edge of the
cabinet. Access to the interior of the cabinet is required to make these
connections. Access for the front connections requires only opening the doors.
Access for the rear connections requires removing the back plates of the cabinet.

4. Remove all back plates to access rear edge joining holes (five places).
Each back plate will have two keyhole screw holes on either side. Remove all
other screws first. Loosen the two screws in the keyhole screw holes last and
lift the back plate to remove. Do not remove these screws.
Do not replace the back plates until the Drive Electrical Interconnection Process
is complete (See Drive Electrical Interconnection
on page 57).
To replace the back plates, the two remaining screws orient and hold the back
plate in place while fastening the other screws holding the back plates to the
frame of the cabinet. Tighten these screws last to complete the process.
