Lifting PowerFlex DC Drives
The dimensions and weights that are specified in Tabl e 3 on page 21 and
Table 4
…Ta b le 7 on page 24 must be considered when mounting the device. Use
the proper equipment to lift and hold the weight of the drive while mounting.
Mount Frame C and D Drives
All lifting equipment and components (hooks, bolts, lifts, slings, and chains)
must have a minimum
lifting capacity of 453.6 kg (1,000 lb).
1. Verify the hole pattern on the panel on which you intend to mount the
drive. See Figure 4
on page 21 or 22 on page 22.
2. Install the mounting hardware:
❏ For frame C drives, insert, but do not tighten, a bolt in one of the top
holes in the panel. The bolt must be fully threaded into the panel
before hanging the drive.
❏ For Frame D drives, insert, but do not tighten, the six bolts for the top
mounting flange on the drive into the panel. The bolts must be fully
threaded into the panel before hanging the drive.
3. To limit the pull in forces on the drive, the lifting devices that are
connected to the hooks must be long enough to make the angle between
the chain or cable and a vertical line that extends up from the flange center
less than 45° angle as illustrated in Figure 7
on page 26 or Figure 8 on page
26
.
❏ For frame C drives, insert the properly sized and rated lifting hooks
into the holes on the lifting flanges at the top of the drive. See Figure 7
on page 26
.
❏ For frame D drives, insert the properly sized lifting rod into the holes
on the lifting flanges at the top of the drive. See Figure 8
on page 26.
ATTENTION: To guard against possible personal injury or equipment damage...
• Inspect all lifting hardware for proper attachment before lifting the drive.
• Do Not let any part of the drive or lift mechanism to contact electrically charged
conductors or components.
• Do Not subject the drive to high rates of acceleration or deceleration while
transporting to the mounting location or when lifting.
• Do Not let personnel or their limbs be directly underneath the drive when it is
being lifted and mounted.
IMPORTANT
Verify that all mounting screws are properly tightened before and after drive
operation.
