1.4 Installation of the Drive Unit
1.4.6 Heat Radiation Countermeasures
(1) Heat radiation countermeasures in the control panel
In order to secure reliability and life, design the temperature in the panel so that the ambient temperature of each
unit is 55°C or less.
If the heat accumulates at the top of the unit, etc., install a fan or heat exchanger so that the temperature in the
panel remains constant.
Please refer to following method for heat radiation countermeasures.
Examples of mounting heat exchanger and temperature measurement positions (reference)
<Point>
[1] Refer to the section “ Heating Value” for the heat
generated by each unit.
[2] Refer to the following calculation for calculation W1 of the
panel’s cooling capacity (thin steel plate).
W1 = U x A x
T
U: 6W/m
