Rockwell Automation Publication 6000-IN006H-EN-P - October 2020 7
Preface
Introduction This document provides procedural information for physically unloading,
moving, and installing PowerFlex® 6000 medium voltage drives.
Who Should Use This Manual This manual is intended for use by professional riggers, general contractors,
electrical contractors, or plant operations personnel familiar with moving and
siting heavy equipment. Specific experience with solid-state variable speed drive
equipment is NOT required for this part of the installation process, but is
mandatory for subsequent processes.
What Is Not in this Manual This manual provides information specific for physically unloading and situating
a PowerFlex 6000 drive. It does not include project-specific, or drive-specific
topics such as:
•Dimensional Drawings and Electrical Drawings that are generated for each
customer’s order.
•Spare parts lists compiled for each customer’s order.
•Drive-specific technical specifications.
See the following documents for additional product detail or instruction relating
to PowerFlex 6000 drives:
•PowerFlex 6000 Medium Voltage Variable Frequency Drive Shipping and
Handling Manual, publication 6000-IN008: instructions for shipping and
handling a Medium Voltage variable frequency drive and related
equipment.
•PowerFlex 6000 Medium Voltage Variable Frequency Drive User Manual,
publication 6000-UM002: instructions for daily recurring drive usage,
HMI, and maintenance tasks for the product’s end user.
•PowerFlex 6000 Medium Voltage Variable Frequency Drive Firmware,
Parameters, and Troubleshooting Manual, publication 6000-TD004:
detailed information on drive features, parameters, and troubleshooting
faults.
Required Supplemental
Information
This manual includes generic information about the drive cabinet layout
orientation and generic electrical connection information.
Review the project-specific Dimensional Drawings (DDs) and Electrical
Drawings (EDs) to better understand the specific drive system cabinet
orientation and wiring requirements before performing any mechanical or
electrical work. Paper copies of the DDs and EDs are placed in the document/
hardware box in the Isolation Transformer Cabinet before shipment. Contact the
local Rockwell Automation office to obtain digital copies, if necessary.

Preface
General Precautions
Summary of Changes This publication contains the following new or updated information. This list
includes substantive updates only and is not intended to reflect all changes.
ATTENTION: This drive contains ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) sensitive parts
and assemblies. Staticcontrol precautions are required when installing, testing,
servicing, or repairing this assembly. Component damage may result if ESD
control procedures are not followed. If you are not familiar with static control
procedures, reference Allen-Bradley publication 8000-4.5.2, “Guarding Against
Electrostatic Damage”or any other applicable ESD protection handbook.
ATTENTION: An incorrectly applied or installed drive can result in component
damage or a reduction in product life.Wiring or application errors, such as,
undersizing the motor, incorrect or inadequate AC supply, or excessive ambient
temperatures may result in malfunction of the system.
ATTENTION: Only personnel familiar with the PowerFlex 6000 Adjustable
Speed Drive (ASD) and associated machinery should plan or implement the
installation, startup, and subsequent maintenance of the system. Failure to
comply may result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.
ATTENTION: Only qualified personnel with the correct PPE (Personal Protective
Equipment) should service the equipment. Be sure to follow the safety
procedures and local regulations to disconnect the high voltage. After waiting
for 15 minutes, open the cabinet door and verify the absence of medium
voltage on the input, output, and power cell terminals with a high-voltage
detector that is properly rated for the line and motor voltages. All LED lights on
the power cells must be off and the drive be grounded with portable grounding
cables on the input and output before servicing. Failure to follow the safety
procedures can result in severe injury or death.

contractor or Rockwell Automation.The commissioning quote from Rockwell Automation reflects this and will contain two options:
a) the base quote, reflecting the power cable and control wiring interconnection work being done by the contractor
b) the optional quote adder, reflecting the additional time and cost for Rockwell Automation to perform the power cable and
control wiring interconnection work immediately before the commissioning process.

Chapter 1
Drive Mechanical Installation
Introduction The installation process is divided into three principal activities. The mechanical
installation process described in this chapter, the electrical installation process
described in Drive Electrical Installation on page 39, and the electrical
interconnection process described in Drive Electrical Interconnection on
page 57.
Mechanical Installation
Summary
The cabinets must be arranged as shown in the Dimensional Drawing.
Follow all applicable guidelines for siting the components before continuing with
these installation instructions.
There may be some variation in the process depending on the type and number of
drive components in your particular installation.
Connect Shipping Splits
Connect DV/DT Filter Cabinet for A-Frame Drives
The standard A-Frame for PowerFlex 6000 drives comes fully assembled and does
not require any shipping splits. However, if a DV/DT filter is included with the
drive then there is one shipping split, and the drive and filter must be connected
as follows:
1. Remove the M16x16 countersunk screw that secures the LV covers and
grounding cover at the right side of the main drive, and the left side of the
filer cabinet. Then remove the covers.
2. Arrange the sections as described in the Dimensional Drawings and move
the sections together.

ATTENTION: Install the drive on a level surface (+/- 1 mm per meter
[+/- 0.036 in. per 36 in.] of drive length in all directions). If necessary, use
metal shims to level the cabinets before joining them; attempting to level after
joining may twist or misalign the cabinets.

Connect Cabinets for H-Frame and B-Frame Drives
The H-Frame and B-Frame for PowerFlex 6000 drives are shipped in two
sections, the Isolation Transformer Cabinet and Power Module/LV Control
Cabinet. These two cabinets must be connected after located in its final position.
The cabinets are connected together in 8 or 10 places (depending on the drive
rating), half along the front edge of the cabinet and half along the rear edge of the
cabinet. Access to the interior of the cabinet is required to make these
connections. Access for the front connections requires only opening the doors.
Access for the rear connections requires removing the back plates of the cabinet.

Each back plate will have two keyhole screw holes on either side. Remove all
other screws first. Loosen the two screws in the keyhole screw holes last and
lift the back plate to remove. Do not remove these screws.
Do not replace the back plates until the Drive Electrical Interconnection Process
is complete (See Drive Electrical Interconnection on page 57).
To replace the back plates, the two remaining screws orient and hold the back
plate in place while fastening the other screws holding the back plates to the
frame of the cabinet.Tighten these screws last to complete the process.

Optional: The cabinet can also be welded to the steel base once it is securely
bolted, if desired.
Each weld location should be 100 mm (3.9 in.) for every 1000 mm (39.4 in.). See
