62 Mechanical installation Removing the transport package 12 Mechanical installation Remove the transport package as follows: 1. Undo the screws that attach the wooden parts of the transport crate together. Moving the unpacked drive cabinet ■ 2. Remove the wooden parts. Lifting the cabinet with a crane 3.
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 If the cabinet needs to be laid on its back, support the cabinet from below alongside the cubicle seams.
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 Attaching the cabinet to the floor and wall or roof General rules ■ • The drive must be installed in an upright vertical position. • Leave 400 mm (15.75”) of free space above the basic roof level of the cabinet for cooling.
16 Mechanical installation WARNING! Do not stand or walk on the cabinet roof. Make sure that nothing presses against the roof, side or back plates or door. Do not store anything on the roof while the drive is in operation. Attaching the cabinet (non-marine units) ■...
Mechanical installation 17 Alternative 2 – Using the holes inside the cabinet Attach the cabinet to the floor through the bottom fastening holes with size M10…M12 (3/8”…1/2”) bolts. The recommended maximum distance between the front edge fastening points is 800 mm (31.5”). If the back fastening holes are not accessible, attach the top of the cabinet to the wall with L-brackets (not included in the delivery) bolted to the lifting eye/bar holes.
18 Mechanical installation Attaching 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: 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 must be joined together at the installation site. There is a joining cubicle at the end of a section for this purpose. The screws for joining the sections are in a plastic bag inside the cabinet. Attach the first section to the floor.

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.
24 Mechanical installation Air inlet area Support the plinth of the cabinet all round. The air duct must be able to supply a sufficient volume of cooling air. See technical data for the minimum air flow values. Top cable entry adapter and joining cubicles have no air inlet. WARNING! Make sure that the incoming air is sufficiently clean.
Mechanical installation 25 or moist air is able to flow backward to the drive in any case, even during off-time or while servicing the drive or the ventilation system. Calculating the required static pressure difference The required static pressure difference between the exit air duct and the drive installation room can be calculated as follows: Δ...
