Section 2
Installation
This section describes the proper mounting and wiring of the BALDOR Series 10 Inverter. If problems arise, please refer to the troubleshooting information located in Section 4.
Location and Mounting
Select a mounting surface for the inverter that will allow the control to be mounted in a vertical position using the four mounting holes provided. The area selected should allow for free air circulation around the control. Provide for at least five inches of clearance on all sides for maximum cooling efficiency.
Caution: Avoid locating the inverter immediately above or beside heat generating equipment, or directly below water or steam pipes.
The ambient temperature around the control should not exceed 40°C. If the control is mounted into an existing control cabinet, the ambient temperature limits should not be exceeded or failure of the control may result. In cases where extreme temperatures are unavoidable, a separate blower fan or cooling system should be considered. Please contact the factory for derating of controls operated in temperatures above 40°C.
The standard ventilated NEMA 1 enclosure should not be used in areas where the control will be subjected to liquids, chemicals, large amounts of airborne material (i.e. dust or lint), or explosive atmospheres. Appropriate protection should be provided for the inverter when used in these environments.
If the control will be subjected to levels of vibration above 0.6G, then the inverter should be shock mounted. Excessive vibration within the control could cause internal connections to loosen and cause component failure or electrical shock hazard.
