Installation Guidelines

Best practices for optimal performance:

• Mounting: Vertical wall mount with minimum 100mm clearance above/below for airflow; side-by-side installation requires 0mm spacing with derating
• Cable Routing: Separate power and control cables by minimum 200mm; use shielded motor cables with 360° shield termination at both ends
• Grounding: Connect PE terminal to low-impedance ground (<0.1Ω); star-point grounding recommended for multi-drive systems
• Input Protection: Install upstream circuit breaker rated for 200A with Type 2 coordination per IEC 60947-4-1
• Environmental: Avoid direct sunlight, condensation, and corrosive atmospheres; use IP54 enclosure kit for dusty environments
