Hardware Installation Manual, 08/2013, A5E01171966B AD 9
The following Warnings, Cautions and Notes are provided for your safety and as a means of
preventing damage to the product or components in the connected machines. This section
lists Warnings, Cautions and Notes, which apply generally when handling the inverter,
classified as General, Transport and Storage, Commissioning, Operation, Repair and
Dismantling and Disposal.
Specific Warnings, Cautions and Notes that apply to particular activities are listed at the
beginning of the relevant sections in this manual and are repeated or supplemented at
critical points throughout these sections.
Please read the information carefully, since it is provided for your personal safety and will
also help prolong the service life of your inverter and the equipment to which it is connected.
It has to be ensured by the machine manufacturer, that the line-side overcurrent protection
equipment interrupts within 5 s (immovable equipment and modules in immovable
equipment) in the case of minimum fault current (current on complete insulation failure to
accessible conductive parts that are not live during operation and maximum current loop
resistance).
This equipment controls potentially dangerous rotating mechanical parts.
Protection in case of direct contact by means of voltages < 60V (PELV = Protective Extra
Low Voltage acc. to EN 61800-5-1) is only permissible in areas with equipotential bonding
and in dry indoor rooms. If these conditions are not fulfilled, other protective measures
against electric shock are to be taken, e.g., protective insulation.
The converter must always be properly grounded. Since the residual current for this product
is greater than 3.5mA AC, a fixed ground connection is required, and the minimum size of
the protective conductor must comply with local safety regulations for equipment with a high
leakage current.
Install the converter on a metal mounting plate in a control cabinet. The mounting plate
must not must be painted and must have good electrical conductivity.
It is strictly prohibited for any mains disconnection to be performed on the motor-side of the
system, if the converter is in operation and the output current is not equal to zero.
Take particular notice of the general and regional installation and safety regulations
regarding work on dangerous voltage installations (e.g. 61800-5-1) as well as the relevant
regulations regarding the correct use of tools and personal protective equipment (PPE).
