1.3 Mechanical Installation VLT 2800 frequency converters allow side-by-side installation on a wall in any position as the units do not require ventilation on the side. Because of the need for cooling, there must be 10 cm free air passage above and below the frequency converter.

VLT 2800 Quick Guide 1 Quick Guide Connect all earthing systems to ensure the lowest possible conductor impedance. The lowest possible conductor impedance is achieved by keeping the conductor as short as possible and by grounding with the greatest possible surface area. If multiple drives are installed in a cabinet, the cabinet backplate, which must be made of metal, should be used as a joint earth reference plate.

1 Quick Guide VLT 2800 Quick Guide 1.4.11 Extra protection RCD relays/ELCBs, multiple protective earthing or earthing can be used as extra protection, pro- vided that local safety regulations are complied with. Three phase VLT frequency converters require an RCD type B. If an RFI filter is mounted in the drive and either the switch of the RCD or a manually operated switch is used to connect the drive to the mains voltage, a time delay of minimum 40 ms is required (RCD type B).

Non UL compliance: If UL/cUL is not to be complied with, Danfoss recommends using the fuses mentioned in the below table, which will ensure compliance with EN50178/IEC61800-5-1: In case of malfunction, not following the fuse recommendation may result in damage to the fre- quency converter.
