Mounting the Drive, Grounding, and
Finding Wire Routing Locations
This chapter shows how to mount the drive and properly ground it. Also shown are the
entry areas where wiring is to be routed in and out of the drive.
4.1 Mounting the Drive
The GV3000/SE Bookshelf drive is provided in an IP20 enclosure and is intended for
use inside a larger, user-supplied enclosure.
In order to maintain a flat mounting surface and to ensure that bolt tightness is
maintained, use washers under the bolt heads. Use M6 (1/4”) mounting bolts and
washers.
2 to 30 Amp Drives
Refer to figure 3.1 and table 3.2 in chapter 3 for drive mounting dimensions. Attach the
drive to the vertical surface selected using the two (2) mounting brackets provided.
The brackets slide into the wide channel of the aluminum heat sink on the back of the
drive. Slide one bracket into the top of the channel and the other bracket into the
bottom of the channel. Note that the upper mounting bracket is not fixed and,
therefore, cannot support the unit alone.
43 Amp Drives
Refer to figure 3.2 and table 3.3 in chapter 3 for drive mounting dimensions. Attach the
drive to the vertical surface selected using the built-in mounting brackets.
4.1.1 Verifying the Drive’s Watts Loss Rating
When mounting the drive inside of another enclosure, you should determine the watts
loss rating of the drive from table 2.1. This table lists the typical full load power loss
watts value under all operating carrier frequencies. Ensure that the enclosure is
adequately ventilated with 0° to 40°C ambient air based on the drive’s watts loss
rating.
