Possible residual risks
The following risks can arise from a drive system and pose a hazard to people. These
risks must therefore be taken into account by the system integrator and / or the plant
owner when assessing the risks of the machinery.
•
Electric power equipment generates electro-magnetic fields which can cause a hazard
to people with metal implants and / or a pacemaker.
•
Drive system components can move unintentionally when being commissioned,
operated, or serviced due to, for example:
•
Operation of the equipment outside the scope of the specifications
•
Incorrectly assembled or installed equipment
•
Wrongly connected cables
•
External influence on, or damage of the equipment
•
Wrong parameter settings
•
Software errors
•
Faulty hardware.
•
Hazardous touch voltages can be present on drive system components caused by, for
example:
•
Operation of the equipment outside the scope of the specifications
•
External influence on, or damage of the equipment
•
Induced voltages by external equipment (e.g. induced voltage from a spinning
rotor)
•
Condensation on equipment components, or pollution
•
Faulty hardware.
•
High temperatures, noise, particles, or gases can be emitted from drive system
components caused by, for example:
•
Operation of the equipment outside the scope of the specifications
•
External influence on, or damage of the equipment
•
Wrong parameter settings
•
Software errors
•
Faulty hardware.
•
Hazardous substances can be emitted from drive system components due to, for
example:
•
Incorrect disposal of components.
