Mechanical installation 7 Mechanical installation Contents of this chapter This chapter describes the mechanical installation procedure of the drive. Examining the installation site Examine the installation site: • The installation site is sufficiently ventilated or cooled to remove heat from the drive. See the technical data.
8 Mechanical installation Checking the delivery The drive delivery contains: • drive cabinet line-up • optional modules (if ordered) installed onto the control unit(s) at the factory • appropriate drive and optional module manuals • delivery documents. Check that there are no signs of damage. Before attempting installation and operation, check the information on the type designation labels of the drive to verify that the delivery is of the correct type.
Mechanical installation 9 Moving and unpacking the drive Move the drive in its original packaging to the installation site as shown below to avoid damaging the cabinet surfaces and door devices. When you are using a pallet truck, check its load capacity before you move the drive. The drive cabinet is to be moved in the upright position.

Mechanical installation 11 Mechanical installation 61 Moving the crate with a forklift Moving the crate with a forklift 750 mm (29.5'') ■ Removing the transport package Remove the transport package as follows: 1. Undo the screws that attach the wooden parts of the transport crate to each other. 2.
1. Undo the screws that attach the wooden parts of the transport crate together. 2. Remove the wooden parts. 3. Remove the clamps with which the drive cabinet is mounted onto the transport pallet 12 Mechanical installation by undoing the fastening screws. 4.
Mechanical installation 13 Moving the cabinet on rollers WARNING! Do not move marine versions (option +C121) on rollers. Lay the cabinet on the rollers and move it carefully until close to its final location. Remove the rollers by lifting the unit with a crane, forklift, pallet truck or jack. Moving the cabinet on its back WARNING! Do not transport the drive with an LCL or L filter on its back.
14 Mechanical installation Final placement of the cabinet Move the cabinet into its final position with a slate bar (spud bar). Place a piece of wood between the edge of the cabinet and the bar to protect the cabinet frame.
Mechanical installation 15 Fastening the cabinet to the floor and wall or roof ■ General rules • The drive must be installed in an upright vertical position. • Leave 250 mm (9.85”) of free space above the cabinet for maintenance, and to allow pressure relief operation.
16 Mechanical installation ■ Fastening the cabinet (non-marine units) Alternative 1 – Clamping 1. Insert the clamps (included) into the twin slots along the front and rear edges of the cabinet frame body and fasten them to the floor with a bolt. The recommended maximum distance between the clamps in the front edge is 800 mm (31.5”).
Mechanical installation 17 Alternative 2 – Using the holes inside the cabinet 1. Fasten the cabinet to the floor through the bottom fastening holes with M10 to M12 (3/8” to 1/2”) bolts. The recommended maximum distance between the front edge fastening points is 800 mm (31.5”).
18 Mechanical installation ■ Fastening the cabinet (marine units) See the dimension drawing delivered with the drive for details of the fastening points. Fasten the cabinet to the floor and roof (wall) as follows: 1. Bolt the unit to the floor through the flat bars at the base of the cabinet using M10 or M12 screws.
Mechanical installation 19 Joining cabinet sections together Wide cabinet line-ups are delivered in multiple sections. The sections are to be joined on-site using a 200 mm wide joining cubicle at the end of one section (a common motor terminal cubicle can also act as a joining cubicle). The screws required for the joining are enclosed in a plastic bag inside the cabinet.

■ Arc welding ABB does not recommend attaching the cabinet by arc welding. However, if arc welding is the only option, connect the return conductor of the welding equipment to the cabinet frame at the bottom within 0.5 meters (1’6”) of the welding point.
