Mechanical installation

What this chapter contains

The chapter describes tells how to check the installation site, unpack, check the
delivery and install the drive mechanically.

Checking the installation site

The ACS150 may be installed on the wall or in a cabinet. Check the enclosure
requirements for the need to use the NEMA 1 option in wall installations (see chapter
Technical data
The drive can be mounted in four different ways:
a) vertical back mounting (all frame sizes)
b) horizontal back mounting (frame sizes R1...R2)
c) vertical side mounting (all frame sizes)
d) vertical DIN rail mounting (all frame sizes).
Check the installation site according to the requirements below. Refer to chapter

Requirements for the installation site

Operation conditions

See chapter
drive.

Wall

The wall should be as close to vertical and even as possible, of non-flammable
material and strong enough to carry the weight of the drive.

Floor

The floor/material below the installation should be non-flammable.

Free space around the drive

In vertical mounting, the required free space for cooling above and below the drive is
75 mm (3 in). No free space is required on the sides of the drive, so the drives can
be mounted immediately next to each other.
When you install the drive horizontally, you need to have free space both above and
below AND on the sides of the drive. For more information, see the figure in section
