Caution: During assembly, testing, and operation, the evaluation board poses several inherent hazards, including bare
wires, moving or rotating parts and hot surfaces. All operations involving transportation, installation, use and
maintenance must be performed by skilled technical personnel who is familiar with the installation, use and
maintenance of power electronic systems.
Work area safety
The work area must be clean and tidy.
Do not work alone when boards are powered.
Protect the area against any unauthorized access by putting suitable barriers and signs.
A system architecture that supplies power to the evaluation board must be equipped with additional control and
protective devices in accordance with the applicable safety requirements (i.e., compliance with technical
equipment and accident prevention rules).
2.3 Intended use of evaluation kit
This evaluation kit is designed for demonstration purposes only and shall not be used for any commercial
purpose.
The evaluation kit is destined for professionals and to be used solely at research and development facilities for
such purposes!
The technical data, as well as information concerning power supply conditions, must be taken from the
relevant documentation and strictly observed.
2.4 Evaluation kit setup
• The evaluation kit must be set up in accordance with the specifications and the targeted application.
• The board contains electro-statically sensitive components that are prone to damage through improper
use.
• Electrical components must not be mechanically damaged or destroyed.
• Avoid any contact with other electronic components!
• During the motor driving, converters must be protected against excessive strain. Do not bend or alter the
isolating distances any components during transportation or handling.
• The use of a transparent and insulating removable enclosure is strongly recommended!

2.5 Electronics connections
Applicable national accident prevention rules must be followed when working on the main power supply with a
motor drive. The electrical installation must be completed in accordance with the appropriate requirements.
A system architecture which supplies power to the evaluation board must be equipped with additional control and
protective devices in accordance with the applicable safety requirements (e.g., compliance with technical
equipment and accident prevention rules).
This evaluation kit must be connected only to an insulated DC power supply featuring over current protection and
allowing to set immediate rms output current limit.
