3 Overview
6YASKAWA TOEP C710617 0SA YASKAWA AC Drive GA500 Installation Manual
3 Overview
Finless-type drives do not have cooling fins, which are the main heat-generating component of
the drive. The finless-type drive uses the enclosure panel (metal plate) as a cooling fin to release
the heat generated by the drive. This will let you install the drive in a smaller enclosure panel.
Finless-type drives are recognized components by UL (Underwriters Laboratories Inc.).
This manual shows you how to install the finless-type drive and obey the Conditions of
Acceptability. Read and understand the safety information and precautions before you use the
product.

•The installation environment has an effect on the temperature.
■Overheat Alarm Level
If the heatsink temperature is more than the temperature set in L8-02 [Overheat Alarm Level],
the drive detects oH [Heatsink Overheat]. To enable this function, set one of H2-0x [MFDO
Function Select] to 20 [Drive Overheat Pre-Alarm (oH)].
Use L8-03 [Overheat Alarm Level] to set the operation when the drive detects oH [Heatsink
Overheat].
Refer to the drive Technical Manual for more information.
◆Surface Finish of Metal Surface
Make sure that the metal surface to which you will install the drive meets these specifications:
•Flatness: ≤ 0.2 mm (0.0078 in)
•Roughness: ≤ 25 S
Note:
A roughness of 25 S means that the average roughness “Ra”is 6.3 a and the maximum peak “Rz”is 25 μm.
◆Thermal Compound
The thermal compound bonds the heating and cooling elements to each other and increases
thermal transfer.
Apply the thermal compound between the heatsink plate and the mating surface. The applicable
thermal compound is different for different external heatsinks. When you select and apply a
thermal compound, contact the thermal compound manufacturer for additional information.
