Safetyand operating instructions
forthe drive powerconverter
(asper: Lowvoltageguideline73/23/EEC)
1. General information
During operation, drive powerconvertersmay have,
depending ontheir protectionclass,live,bare,moving or
rotating partsor hot surfaces.
Thereisariskofseriousinjurytopersonsand/ordamage
toequipment resulting fromunpermittedremovalofcovers,
incorrect use, installation or operation.
Further information can befound in this
documentation.
All transport, installationand commissioning work,and
maintenance,mustbecarriedout byqualifiedpersonnel
(complywith IEC 364, CENELEC HD 384, DIN VDE 0100,
IEC 664 and DIN VDE 0110, and nationalaccident
prevention regulations).
Qualifiedpersonnelin thesenseofthesebasicsafety
instructionsarepersonswhoarefamiliarwith theerection,
mounting, commissionand operationofthisproductand
whohave therelevant qualificationsfor their activities.
2. Intended use
Drive powerconvertersarecomponentsintendedfor
installation in electrical systemsor machines.
Whenbeing installedin machines,thedrive power
convertercannotbecommissioned(i.e. implementationof
theintendeduse)until it hasbeenensuredthatthemachine
meetstheprovisionsoftheEC guideline89/392/EEC
(machineguideline); EN 60204 must alsobecomplied with.
Commissioning (i.e.implementationoftheintendeduse)is
onlypermittedwhentheEMCguideline(89/336/EEC) is
complied with.
Thedrive powerconvertersmeettherequirementsofthe
lowvoltageguideline73/23/EEC. Theharmonised
standardsin prEN 50178/DIN VDE 0160, togetherwith EN
60439-1/VDE 0660 Part 500 and EN 60146/VDE 0558 were
applied for thedrive power converter.
Technicaldataand informationforconnectionconditions
canbefound ontherating plateand in thedocumentation,
and must becomplied with.
3. Transport, storage
Informationregarding transport, storageand correct
handling must becomplied with.
4. Erection
Theerectionand cooling oftheequipment mustbe
implementedaspertheregulationsin thecorresponding
documentation.
Thedrive powerconvertermustbeprotectedagainst
unpermittedloads.During transport and handling in
particular, componentsmustnotbedeformedand/or
insulationdistancesmustnotbechanged. Touching of
electroniccomponentsand contactsmust beavoided.
Drive powerconvertershave electrostaticallysensitive
componentsthatcanbeeasilydamagedbyincorrect
handling. Electricalcomponentsmustnotbemechanically
damaged or destroyed (thismay causeahealth hazard!).
5. Electrical connections
Whenworking onlive drive powerconverters,the
applicablenationalaccident preventionregulationsmustbe
complied with (e.g. VBG 4).
Theelectricalinstallationmustbeimplementedasperthe
applicableregulations(e.g. cablecross-section, fuses,
ground leadconnections). Furtherinstructionscanbefound
in thedocumentation.
Informationabout EMC-compliant installation – suchas
shielding, earthing, locationoffiltersand installationof
cables – canbefound in thedrive powerconverter
documentation. Theseinstructionsmustbecompliedwith
evenwith CE markeddrive powerconverters.Compliance
with thelimit valuesspecifiedin theEMCregulationsisthe
responsibilityofthemanufacturer ofthesystemor machine.
6. Operation
Systemswheredrive powerconvertersareinstalledmust
beequipped, wherenecessary,with additionalmonitoring
and protective equipment aspertheapplicablesafety
requirements,e.g. legislationconcerning technical
equipment, accident preventionregulations,etc.
Modificationstothedrive powerconverterusing the
operating softwarearepermitted.
Afterthedrive powerconverterisdisconnectedfromthe
powersupply,live equipment componentsand power
connectionsshould notbetouchedimmediatelybecauseof
possiblechargedcapacitors.Complywith theapplicable
information signslocated on thedrive power converter.
All coversmust bekept closed during operation.
7. Maintenance and repairs
Themanufacturer documentation must becomplied with.
These safetyinstructions must be kept ina safe place!
