Safety notes

1.1 General safety instructions
Note
SINAMICS DCP is a member of the SINAMICS series of devices. This series of devices
mainly comprises components for electric drives. This is the reason that in these operating
instructions in chapters which are applicable for
several SINAMICS components (for
example PROFIBUS), the terms "Drive", "Master/leading drive", "Drive device" or "Drive
system" are used. In these Operating Instructions, "drive", "drive unit" or "drive system"
always refers to the SINAMICS DCP.
WARNING
Electric shock and danger to life due to other energy sources
Touching live components can result in death or serious injury.
•Only work on electrical equipment if you are appropriately qualified.
•Always observe the country-specific safety rules for all work.
Generally, the following six steps apply when establishing safety:
1. Prepare for disconnection. Notify all those who will be affected by the procedure.
2. Isolate the drive system from the power supply and take measures to prevent it being
switched back on again.
3. Wait until the discharge time specified on the warning labels has elapsed.
4. Check that there is no voltage between any of the power connections, and between any
of the power connections and the protective conductor connection.
5. Check whether the existing auxiliary supply circuits are de-energized.
6. Ensure that the motors cannot move.
7. Identify all other dangerous energy sources, e.g. compressed air, hydraulic systems, or
water. Switch the energy sources to a safe state.
8. Check that the correct drive system is completely locked.
After you have completed the work, restore the operational readiness by following the
above steps in the reverse order.

WARNING
Electric shock due to connection to an unsuitable power supply
When equipment is connected to an unsuitable power supply, exposed components may
carry a hazardous voltage that might result in serious injury or death.
•Only use power supplies that provide SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) or PELV
(Protective Extra Low Voltage) output voltages for all connections and terminals of the
electronics modules.
WARNING
Electric shock due to equipment damage
Improper handling may cause damage to equipment. For damaged devices, hazardous
voltages can be present at the enclosure or at exposed components; if touched, this can
result in death or severe injury.
•Ensure compliance with the limit values specified in the technical data during transport,
storage and operation.
•Do not use any damaged devices.
WARNING
Electric shock due to unconnected cable shield
Hazardous touch voltages can occur through capacitive cross-coupling due to unconnected
cable shields.
•As a minimum, connect cable shields and the cores of power cables that are not used at
one end at the grounded housing potential.
WARNING
Electric shock if there is no ground connection
For missing or incorrectly implemented protective conductor connection for devices with
protection class I, high voltages can be present at open, exposed parts, which when
touched, can result in death or severe injury.
•Ground the device in compliance with the applicable regulations.
WARNING
Arcing when a plug connection is opened during operation
Opening a plug connection when a system is in operation can result in arcing that may
cause serious injury or death.
•Only open plug connections when the equipment is in a voltage-free state, unless it has
been explicitly stated that they can be opened in operation.

Because of the capacitors, a hazardous voltage is present for up to 5 minutes after the
power supply has been switched off. Contact with live parts can result in death or serious
injury.
•Wait for 5 minutes before you check that the unit really is in a no-voltage condition and
start work.
NOTICE
Property damage due to loose power connections
Insufficient tightening torques or vibration can result in loose power connections. This can
result in damage due to fire, device defects, or malfunctions.
•Tighten all power connections to the prescribed torque.
•Check all power connections at regular intervals, particularly after equipment has been
transported.
WARNING
Spread of fire from built-in devices
In the event of fire outbreak, the enclosures of built-in devices cannot prevent the escape of
fire and smoke. This can result in serious personal injury or property damage.
•Install built-in units in a suitable metal cabinet in such a way that personnel are
protected against fire and smoke, or take other appropriate measures to protect
personnel.
•Ensure that smoke can only escape via controlled and monitored paths.
WARNING

•If you come closer than around 2 m to such components, switch off any radio devices or
mobile phones.
•Use the "SIEMENS Industry Online Support App" only on equipment that has already
been switched off.
WARNING
Fire due to inadequate ventilation clearances
Inadequate ventilation clearances can cause overheating of components with subsequent
fire and smoke. This can cause severe injury or even death. This can also result in
increased downtime and reduced service lives for devices/systems.
•Ensure compliance with the specified minimum clearance as ventilation clearance for
the respective component.
WARNING
Unrecognized dangers due to missing or illegible warning labels
Dangers might not be recognized if warning labels are missing or illegible. Unrecognized
dangers may cause accidents resulting in serious injury or death.
•Check that the warning labels are complete based on the documentation.
•Attach any missing warning labels to the components, where necessary in the national
language.
•Replace illegible warning labels.
NOTICE
Device damage caused by incorrect voltage/insulation tests
Incorrect voltage/insulation tests can damage the device.
•Before carrying out a voltage/insulation check of the system/machine, disconnect the
devices as all inverters and motors have been subject to a high voltage test by the
manufacturer, and therefore it is not necessary to perform an additional test within the
system/machine.
