CHAPTER 3
Mounting the Drive, Grounding, and
Determining Wire Routing Locations
This chapter provides information that must be considered when planning a GV6000
AC drive installation and provides drive mounting information. Installation site
requirements, drive requirements, and wiring requirements are presented.
3.1 General Requirements for the Installation Site
It is important to properly plan before installing a GV6000 AC drive to ensure that the
drive’s environment and operating conditions are satisfactory.
Note that no devices are to be mounted behind the drive. If air-cooled devices are
mounted near the drive, the hot air exhaust may raise the ambient temperature level
above what is allowed for safe operation of the drive.
The area behind the drive must be kept clear of all control and power wiring. Power
connections may create electromagnetic fields that may interfere with control wiring or
components when run in close proximity to the drive.
Read the following recommendations before continuing with drive installation.
