Warning: Hot surface
General warning symbol: Observe the explanations about the hazard on the
device labels.
For transportation, observe the "transportation markings (Page 48)" 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.

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.
SINAMICS SM150 6SL3845-7NN42-2AA3 HBIS Shigang WRM NTM
Operating Instructions Rev.202003051222 3005356504 15

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 15)" when performing any work.
● Service and maintain the device regularly and correctly.
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

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.
Skin burns when touching the roof panel
Certain components, such as busbars and resistors etc., can become very hot in operation.

Touching hot surfaces can cause burns to the skin.
● Do not touch the roof panel even after the device has been shut down.
● Always take the appropriate precautions before touching any parts and components.
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.
Eye and skin injuries caused by deionized water
Deionized water is harmful to eyes and skin and can damage surfaces.
● Therefore, use appropriate protective clothing when you carry out any work on the drive.
However, if your eyes or skin do come into contact with deionized water, rinse the affected
area thoroughly with tap water as soon as possible.
● If deionized water leaks out, eliminate the source of the problem and remove the liquid from
the surfaces affected.
● Please refer to the EU safety data sheet of the coolant manufacturer.
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

2.6 Components that can be destroyed by electrostatic discharge (ESD)
ESD guidelines
Material damage caused by electrostatic discharge.
Electronic components can be destroyed in the event of improper handling, transport, storage,
and shipping.
Pack the electronic components in appropriate ESD packaging; e.g. ESD foam, ESD
packaging bags and ESD transport containers.
To protect your equipment against damage, follow the instructions given below.
● Avoid physical contact with electronic components. If it is essential that you perform work on
these components, you must wear one of the following pieces of protective gear:
– Grounded ESD wrist strap
– ESD shoes or ESD shoe grounding strips if there is also an ESD floor.
● Do not place electronic components close to data terminals, monitors or televisions.
Maintain a minimum clearance to the screen (> 10 cm).
● Electronic components should not be brought into contact with electrically insulating
materials such as plastic foil, plastic parts, insulating table supports or clothing made of
synthetic fibers.
● Bring components into contact only with ESD-compliant materials, e.g. ESD tables, ESD
surfaces, ESD packaging.
● Only carry out measurements on the components if one of the following conditions is met:
– The measuring device is grounded with a protective conductor, for example.
– The measuring head of a floating measuring device has been discharged directly before
the measurement.
