General warning symbol: Observe the explanations about the hazard on the
device labels.
For transportation, observe the "transportation markings (Page 60)" on the device packaging.
2.2 Qualified personnel
The product/system described in this documentation may only be operated by personnel
qualified for the specific task in accordance with the relevant documentation for the specific
task, in particular its warning notices and safety instructions. Because of their training and
experience, qualified personnel can recognize any risks involved with handling these products/
systems and avoid any possible dangers.
2.3 The 5 safety rules
To ensure your own personal safety as well as to avoid material damage, always comply with
the safety-relevant instructions when carrying out any work. Also carefully comply with the 5
safety rules according to EN 50110‑1 "Working in a no-voltage state" in the specified sequence.
5 safety rules
1. Disconnect the system.
Also disconnect the auxiliary circuits, for example, anti-condensation heating.
2. Secure against reconnection.

Operating Instructions Rev.201910281332 EXAMPLE 17

3. Verify absence of operating voltage.
4. Ground and short-circuit.
5. Provide protection against adjacent live parts.
To energize the system, apply the measures in reverse order.
2.4 Safe handling
Electric shock from external supplies
Even if the circuit breaker is open, parts of the drive can be under voltage (live) as a result of
the auxiliary voltage at the premagnetization, precharging or demagnetization transformers.
This danger is not limited to the drive, but can also occur with components that are electrically
connected to the drive (e.g. circuit breakers or isolators). Touching live parts can result in death,
serious injury and material damage
● Isolate all components that can feed voltage to the drive before commencing work.
Electric shock due to high voltages in operation
When operating this equipment very high voltages develop. Even after switching off the mains
voltage, or while the connected machine is still turning, high voltages can remain for a
prolonged length of time. High voltages can cause death or serious injury if the safety rules are
not observed or if the equipment is handled incorrectly.
● Operate the device properly.
● Always follow the "The five safety rules (Page 17)" when performing any work.
● Service and maintain the device regularly and correctly.
Electric shock if the grounding switch is defective
A grounding switch is a component that has an associated certain probability of failure. This
means that it is possible that the feedback signal regarding the switching state no longer
matches the actual switching state of the grounding switch. This means that if the power unit
door is open, hazardous voltages could still be present at the active parts of the drive. Touching
the device can result in death or serious injury.
● Check the function of the grounding switch before carrying out any other work at the drive.
● Carefully comply with the 5 safety rules (Page 17).

18 Operating Instructions Rev.201910281332 EXAMPLE

Electric shock due to induced voltage
Rotating machinery can induce dangerous high voltages and synchronous motors that are not
de-excited immediately can also pose a hazard. If the connection to the motor is not isolated or
grounded, these voltages can also remain. Touching live parts can result in death or serious
injury.
● Before opening the doors, wait until the connected machine has come to a standstill.
Electric shock at DC link capacitors
High voltages are still present at the DC link capacitors even after shutdown. Touching live
parts can result in death or serious injury.
● A label specifies the discharge times of the DC link capacitors. Only open the doors once
these discharge times have elapsed.
● Observe the five safety rules when performing any work.
Electric shock caused by high auxiliary voltages
High auxiliary voltages are still present even after shutdown. Touching live parts can result in
death or serious injury.
● Observe the five safety rules when performing any work.
Danger due to hazardous arcing
Hazards caused by arcing can occur as result of the following factors, for example:
● The input currents are exceeded.
● Incorrectly dimensioned circuit breaker or transformers.
● Incorrectly connected cables or cables that have not been connected.
● Contamination and dirt.
● Tools that have been forgotten, e.g. when mounting and installing the equipment.
Arcing can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
● Make sure that the system is properly dimensioned and that the power cables are correctly
connected. The maximum permissible input currents are listed in the "Technical
specifications".
● Remove contamination and dirt.
● After installation and mounting, carefully check that no objects have been left in the device.

Danger due to live stationary parts, moving or rotating parts
Contact with the parts mentioned can result in death, serious physical injury or damage to
property.
● Observe the instructions regarding installation and operation.
● Always take protective measures before touching any components.
● Do not remove any covers.
Risk of burns due to hot component surfaces
Certain components (e.g. heat sinks and reactors) can become very hot during operation.
These components can remain hot for a long time after operation. Contact can result in serious
injury, such as skin burns.
● After the device has been shut down, do not touch any hot components.
Risk of burns due to hot anti-condensation heating surface
When the temperature control limit value is reached the anti-condensation heating is switched
on. Once activated, the anti-condensation heating can generate a great deal of heat. Contact
can result in serious injury, such as skin burns.
● Ensure that the anti-condensation heating cannot be touched.
● Ensure that the anti-condensation heating is switched off before carrying out any repair or
maintenance work.
Risk of injury at places that are difficult to access
If you do not use appropriate protective equipment when working in places that are difficult to
access you are at risk of injury. For example, sharp edges and splinters can cause injuries to
the head and skin. If you carry out work in the upper section using unsuitable ladders or similar,
you can fall and injure yourself.
● Use appropriate protective equipment, especially a hard hat and gloves.
● Use suitable steps or ladders when working in the upper area.
Shutdown as a result of an incorrect residual current monitoring device
If you use a residual current monitoring device (RCD), it is possible that the residual current
monitoring device will trip in error (nuisance trip). The converter may be switched off as a result
of the protection device tripping in error.
● To minimize the risk of faulty trips, use a type-B RCD.
2.5 Electromagnetic fields in electrical power engineering installations
Electromagnetic fields are generated during operation of electrical power engineering
installations. Electromagnetic fields can interfere with electronic devices, These devices can
malfunction if electromagnetic fields are present.
