3.2.5 Safety Requirements for Mechanical Installation
Pay attention to the requirements that apply to integration and the field mounting kit. Follow the information in the list to avoid serious
damage or injury, especially when installing large units.
The adjustable frequency drive is cooled by air circulation.
To protect the unit from overheating, it must be ensured that the ambient temperature
does not exceed the maximum temperature stated for the
adjustable frequency drive
, and that the 24-hour average temperature is not exceeded . Locate the maximum temperature and 24-hour average in the
paragraph
Derating for Ambient Temperature .
If the ambient temperature is in the range of 113°–131°F [45°–55°C], derating of the adjustable frequency drive will become relevant, see
Derating for
Ambient Temperature
.
The service life of the adjustable frequency drive is reduced if derating for ambient temperature is not taken into account.
3.2.6 Field Mounting
For field mounting the IP 21/IP 4X top/,TYPE 1 kits or IP 54/55 units are recommended.
3.2.7 Panel Through Mounting
A Panel Through mount kit is available for adjustable frequency drive series VLT HVAC Drive, VLT Aqua Drive and .
In order to increase heatsink cooling and reduce panel depth, the adjustable frequency drive may be mounted in a through panel. Furthermore, the built-
in fan can then be removed.
The kit is available for enclosures A5 through C2.
NOTE!
This kit cannot be used with cast front covers. No cover or imminent plastic cover must be used instead.
Information on ordering numbers is found in the Design Guide , section Ordering Numbers.

Branch circuit protection
In order to protect the installation against electrical and fire hazard, all branch circuits in an installation, switch gear, machines, etc., must be short-circuit
and overcurrent protected according to the national/international regulations.
Short circuit protection
The adjustable frequency drive must be protected against short-circuit to avoid electrical or fire hazard. Danfoss recommends using the fuses mentioned
below to protect service personnel or other equipment in case of an internal failure in the unit. The adjustable frequency drive provides full short circuit
protection in case of a short circuit in the motor output.

Overcurrent protection
Provide overload protection to avoid fire hazard due to overheating of the cables in the installation. Overcurrent protection must always be provided in
accordance with national regulations. The adjustable frequency drive is equipped with internal overcurrent protection that can be used for upstream
overload protection (UL applications excluded). See par. 4-18
Current Limit in the VLT HVAC Drive Programming Guide . Fuses must be designed for
protection in a circuit capable of supplying a maximum of 100,000 Arms (symmetrical), 500 V/600 V maximum.
Non-UL compliance
If UL/cUL is not to be complied with, Danfoss recommends using the fuses mentioned in the table below, which will ensure compliance with EN50178.
In case of malfunction, not following the recommendation may result in unnecessary damage to the adjustable frequency drive.
