Installation Environment

The installation environment is important for the lifespan of the product and to make sure that the drive performance is correct. Make sure that the installation environment aligns with these specifications.

 

Environment

Conditions

Area of Use

Indoors

Power Supply

Overvoltage Category III

Surrounding Air Temperature

IP00/UL Open Type: -10 °C to +50 °C (14 °F to 122 °F)

IP20/UL Open Type: -10 °C to +50 °C (14 °F to 122 °F)

IP20/UL Type 1: -10 °C to +40 °C (14 °F to 104 °F)

  • When you install the drive in an enclosure, use a cooling fan or air conditioner to keep the internal air temperature in the permitted range.

  • Do not let the drive freeze.

  • You can use IP00/UL Open Type drives and IP20/UL Open Type drives at a maximum of 60 °C (140 °F) when you derate the output current.

  • You can use IP20/UL Type 1 drives at a maximum of 50 °C (122 °F) when you derate the output current.

Humidity

95% RH or less

Do not let condensation form on the drive.

Storage Temperature

-20 °C to +70 °C (-4 °F to +158 °F) (short-term temperature during transportation)

Surrounding Area

Pollution degree 2 or less

Install the drive in an area without:

  • Oil mist, corrosive or flammable gas, or dust

  • Metal powder, oil, water, or other unwanted materials

  • Radioactive or flammable materials.

  • Harmful gas or fluids

  • Salt

  • Direct sunlight

Keep wood and other flammable materials away from the drive.

Altitude

1000 m (3281 ft) Maximum

Note:

Derate the output current by 1% for each 100 m (328 ft) to install the drive in altitudes between 1000 m to 4000 m (3281 ft to 13123 ft).

It is not necessary to derate the rated voltage in these conditions:

  • When you install the drive at 2000 m (6562 ft) or lower

  • When you install the drive between 2000 m to 4000 m (6562 ft to 13123 ft) and ground the neutral point on the power supply.

    Contact Yaskawa or your nearest sales representative if you will not ground the neutral point.

Vibration 1

  • 10 Hz to 20 Hz:

    2004 to 2415, 4002 to 4675: 1 G (9.8 m/s2, 32.15 ft/s2)

    4810 to 4H12: 0.6 G (5.9 m/s2, 19.36 ft/s2)

  • 20 Hz to 55 Hz:

    2004 to 2211, 4002 to 4168: 0.6 G (5.9 m/s2, 19.36 ft/s2)

    2257 to 2415, 4208 to 4H12: 0.2 G (2.0 m/s2, 6.56 ft/s2)

Installation Orientation

Install the drive vertically for sufficient airflow to cool the drive.
 
Note:

Do not put drive peripheral devices, transformers, or other electronics near the drive. Shield the drive from electrical interference if components must be near the drive. Electrical interference can cause the drive or devices around the drive to function incorrectly.

1

This drive passed the vibration test with a logarithmic sweep as specified by EN 60068-2-6 and JIS C60068-2-6. If the internal components of the drive vibrate too much, it can cause damage to the drive even when the vibration frequency is in the specification. If the drive components vibrate, improve the installation environment to decrease vibration.

  • Put the motor on a rubber pad to decrease vibration.

  • Reinforce the structure of the installation.
