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.

Refer to Conditions for information about the installation of finless-type drives.

 

Environment

Conditions

Area of Use

Indoors

Power Supply

Overvoltage Category III (IEC60664)

Surrounding Air Temperature

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.

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 (IEC 60664-1)

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:

  • Installing the drive at 2000 m (6562 ft) or lower

  • Installing the drive between 2000 m to 4000 m (6562 ft to 13123 ft) and grounding the neutral point on the power supply.

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

Vibration

  • 10 Hz to 20 Hz: 1 G (9.8 m/s2, 32.15 ft/s2)

  • 20 Hz to 55 Hz: 0.6 G (5.9 m/s2, 19.36 ft/s2)

Installation Orientation

Install the drive vertically or horizontally for sufficient airflow to cool the drive.

Refer to the drive Technical Manual for more information.
