in personal injury or death, damage to the drive and potential economic loss.
General Handling
Information
• Approximate weights: 2300…13,600 kg (5000…30,000 lb).
• Rockwell Automation strongly recommends using professional riggers
with suitable rated lifting equipment to move the drive to its final
installation site.
• Have qualified professionals inspect all lifting equipment.
• Keep the drive in an upright position. Some units are top-heavy and can
fall over if tilted.
• Install the drive on a level (+/- 1 mm per meter [+/- 0.036 in. per 36 in.] of
drive length in all directions) floor. Use metal shims if necessary.
• Be aware the cabinets are not rigid structures. Avoid torquing or twisting
the cabinets while siting the drives or joining shipping splits.
• Only use fasteners with a minimum metric Grade 10.9 (SAE Grade 8)
strength. Rockwell Automation strongly recommends using Crosby bolt-
type shackles.
• Close and secure all drive doors before moving the equipment.
ATTENTION: This document applies ONLY to physically moving and siting the
drive cabinetry. For procedures involving joining cabinets and cabling, as well as
electrical installation and grounding requirements, refer to the correct
Installation Manual for your PowerFlex™ 7000 drive.
WARNING: Never attempt to lift or move the drive by any means other than the
handling methods listed in this publication. Failure to do so can result in
personal injury or death, damage to the drive, and potential economic loss.

Chapter 1 Receiving and Storing Procedures
• Keep the drive bolted to the wooden shipping skid to minimize the
possibility of it tipping. Do not remove the wood skid and top lifting angle
until the drive is at the installation area. If the drive is crated, the crate
includes a pair of lifting angles. Reinstall both lifting angles on top of drive.
High-power air-cooled drives and converter sections do not have wood
skids or top lifting angles but have permanently-attached steel frame bases.
Shipping Details
Receiving the Drive When your drive arrives, remove the packing and check for damage that can
occur during shipping. Report any damage immediately to your carrier’s claims
office as soon as possible after receiving the drive. Rockwell Automation offers
reasonable assistance to resolve damage claims.
Each MV variable speed drive has a shock indicator installed on the outside of the
converter cabinet. The shock indicator shows black in the chevron shaped area if
the drive experienced sufficient shock during transit.

Receiving and Storing Procedures Chapter 1
Storage Store the drive according to the following conditions if not immediately
installing the equipment.
• Store the drive in a clean, dry, dust-free environment.
• Maintain a storage temperature between -40…+70 °C (-40...158 °F).
Occasionally, liquid-cooled drives use coolant that has a freezing point
higher than -20 °C (-4 °F). Check the freeze point of the coolant on the
coolant drum label and verify that the storage temperature remains above
that point. Relative humidity must not exceed 95%, non-condensing.
Rockwell Automation recommends that you store the drive in a heated/
climate-controlled building with regulated air circulation to avoid damage.
• Remove all packaging from the drive for storage to prevent condensation
from damaging the equipment.
• Use factory-installed space heaters to prevent condensation if storage
temperature fluctuates or if humidity exceeds 85%.
• Medium voltage enclosures are designed for indoor use and do not ship
with sufficient packaging for outdoor storage. Verify that you provide
adequate protection for the equipment if storing it outside. Install
temporary electrical heating to prevent condensation. Space heaters rated
at approximately 150 W per cabinet suit most enclosures. To avoid a fire
hazard, remove any loose packing or flammable material from the drive
before using the space heaters.
IMPORTANT Export-crated drives include a two-month supply of desiccant (from date of
shipment). If you require desiccant for longer storage times, please specify the
amount when ordering. You can leave the drive in the export crating until the
desiccant expires.

Chapter 2
Transportation and Handling Procedures
Planning Verify that you can move the equipment into place. Check that all ceiling, door
heights, and turning distances are adequate. Prepare and verify the level of the
intended drive site.
Leveling
Prepare a level concrete surface for the equipment at the final installation site.
Verify that the siting surface is level to +/- 1 mm per meter (+/-0.036 in. per
36 in.) in all directions.
Once you position the drive, test the level. If necessary, shim the equipment with
sheet metal to level the mounting. If joining shipping splits, level and shim prior
to joining the cabinets to avoid torquing or twisting the cabinets on a non-level
surface.
Rigging Contractor Rockwell Automation strongly recommends that you contract professional
riggers with suitably-rated lifting equipment to move the drive to its final
installation site.
IMPORTANT Improperly leveled sites can inhibit proper set-up by introducing
misalignments in joining hardware or interfering with latch and interlock
operations.
ATTENTION: Do not lift or move the drive by any means other than the
handling methods listed in this publication. Failure to do so can result in
personal injury or equipment damage.

Chapter 2 Transportation and Handling Procedures
Overhead Lifting
1. Use shackles in the holes of the lifting angles and use safety hooks in the
shackles (Figure 11). Do not pass slings or cables through the holes of the
lifting angles. Use only 38 mm (1.5 in.) diameter holes for shackles.
Figure 11 - Shackle attached to Drive lifting angle
2. Verify that the angle between the lifting cables does not exceed 45° from
vertical (see Figure 12 and Figure 13).
3. You can also use a spreader bar to lift the equipment. Confirm that the
spreader beam has a load rating adequate for the equipment.
4. Lift the equipment a minimal amount to verify that it is properly secured
and balanced before moving the equipment further.
IMPORTANT For the largest direct-to-driveVFDs, the common mode chokes (CMCs) are
relatively heavy (5000 lb/2267 kg).To ease handling of the VFD enclosure, the
CMCs are shipped separately and the contractor or customer must reinstall the
CMC into the VFD enclosure on-site. The CMC is completely installed and tested
at the factory before being removed for shipment.
See publication 7000-IN003 for instructions on installing a separately shipped
CMC.
WARNING: Do not stand underneath the drive unit at any time during the
overhead lifting. Follow local regulations and codes regarding health and safety
at all times.
ATTENTION: Load ratings of the lifting device, slings, hooks, and shackles must
have a lifting capacity rated equal to or greater than the load. Failure to do so
can result in personal injury and/or equipment damage. See the shipping
weights on the packing slip.
