6. Installation & Maintenance Guidelines

Installation

Install in a dry and clean environment with a flat mounting surface (tolerance ≤ 0.1 mm/m); apply conductive paste to power busbars and fasten them according to specified torque; route drive wires and power wires separately (distance ≥ 30 cm) with the shielding layer grounded at one end.

Water Cooling

Use deionized water / dedicated antifreeze with a flow rate ≥ 10 L/min and pressure 0.2~0.5 MPa; regularly clean pipelines and monitor conductivity (≤ 5 μS/cm).

Maintenance

Regularly inspect temperature, current and voltage; clean the module surface weekly and check the water cooling system monthly; conduct insulation, switching characteristics and protection function tests annually.
