Step 2: Panel Sizing & Component 

- Panel sizing depends on frame size of the VFD and no. of components to be used with VFD based on ratings. 

- Need to ensure dimension of all component including busbar system and incoming MCCB

 Step 3: Heat Load Calculation

- Check application whether it is in MCC room or Outside the MCC room

- If it is inside the MCC room, then the room temperature must be maintained within 40 degree C. The Fan is recommended in this case 

-If VFD system to be placed outside the MCC, then heating to be calculated with Air-conditioning system. The ambient temperature for VFD should be less than the ambient temperature of the atmosphere
