4.4 Operating Environment
NOTICE!
In environments with airborne liquids, particles, or
corrosive gases, ensure that the IP/type rating of the
equipment matches the installation environment. Failure
to meet requirements for ambient conditions can reduce
44
the lifetime of the drive. Ensure that requirements for air
humidity, temperature, and altitude are met.
Voltage [V] Altitude restrictions
380–480At altitudes above 3000 m (9842 ft), contact
Danfoss regarding PELV.
Table 4.1 Installation at High Altitudes
For detailed ambient conditions specications, refer to
chapter 10.4 Ambient Conditions.
NOTICE!
CONDENSATION
Moisture can condense on the electronic components
and cause short circuits. Avoid installation in areas
subject to frost. Install an optional space heater when
the drive is colder than the ambient air. Operating in
standby mode reduces the risk of condensation as long
as the power dissipation keeps the circuitry free of
moisture.
NOTICE!
EXTREME AMBIENT CONDITIONS
Hot or cold temperatures compromise unit performance
and longevity.
Do not operate in environments where the
•
ambient temperature exceeds 55 °C (131 °F).
The drive can operate at temperatures down to
•
-10 °C (14 °F). However, proper operation at
rated load is only guaranteed at 0 °C (32 °F) or
higher.
If temperature exceeds ambient temperature
•
limits, extra air conditioning of the cabinet or
installation site is required.
4.4.2 Dust
When installing the drive in dusty environments, pay
attention to the following:
Periodic maintenance
When dust accumulates on electronic components, it acts
as a layer of insulation. This layer reduces the cooling
capacity of the components, and the components become
warmer. The hotter environment decreases the life of the
electronic components.
Keep the heat sink and fans free from dust buildup. For
more service and maintenance information, refer to
chapter 9 Maintenance, Diagnostics, and Troubleshooting.
Cooling fans
Fans provide airow to cool the drive. When fans are
exposed to dusty environments, the dust can damage the
fan bearings and cause premature fan failure. Also, dust
can accumulate on fan blades causing an imbalance which
prevents the fans from properly cooling the unit.
4.4.3 Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
WARNING
EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE
Do not install the drive in a potentially explosive
atmosphere. Install the unit in a cabinet outside of this
area. Failure to follow this guideline increases risk of
death or serious injury.
4.5 Installation and Cooling Requirements
NOTICE!
MOUNTING PRECAUTIONS
Improper mounting can result in overheating and
reduced performance. Observe all installation and
cooling requirements.
4.4.1 Gases
Aggressive gases, such as hydrogen sulde, chlorine, or
ammonia can damage the electrical and mechanical
components. The unit uses conformal-coated circuit boards
to reduce the eects of aggressive gases. For conformalcoating class specications and ratings, see
chapter 10.4 Ambient Conditions.
chapter 3.2 Power Ratings, Weights, and
Dimensions.
Ensure the mounting location allows access to
•
open the enclosure door. See
chapter 10.9 Enclosure Dimensions.
Ensure that there is adequate space around the
•
unit for cooling airow.
Place the unit as near to the motor as possible.
•
Keep the motor cables as short as possible. See
chapter 10.5 Cable Specications.
Ensure the location allows for cable entry at the
•
bottom of the unit.
Cooling and Airow Requirements
Ensure that top and bottom clearance for air
•
cooling is provided. Clearance requirement:
225 mm (9 in).
Consider derating for temperatures starting
•
between 45 °C (113 °F) and 50 °C (122 °F) and
elevation 1000 m (3300 ft) above sea level. See
the product-specicdesign guide for detailed
information.
The drive uses back-channel cooling to circulate the heat
sink cooling air. The cooling duct can carries approximately
90% of the heat out of the back channel of the drive.
Redirect the back-channel air from the panel or room by
using:
Duct cooling. Back-channel cooling kits are
•
available to direct the air away from the panel
when an IP20/chassis drive is installed in a Rittal
enclosure. Use of a kit reduces the heat in the
panel and smaller door fans can be specied on
the enclosure.
Cooling out the back (top and base covers). The
•
back-channel cooling air can be ventilated out of
the room so that the heat from the back channel
is not dissipated into the control room.
Mechanical InstallationVLT® AutomationDrive FC 361
NOTICE!
One or more door fans are required on the enclosure to
remove heat not contained in the back channel of the
drive. The fans also remove any additional losses
generated by other components inside the drive.
44
Ensure that the fans supply adequate airow over the heat
sink. To select the appropriate number of fans, calculate
the total required airow. The ow rate is shown in
Table 4.2.
