Electrical safety precautions
These electrical safety precautions are for all personnel who do work on the drive, motor
cable or motor.
WARNING!
Obey these instructions. If you ignore them, injury or death, or damage to the
equipment can occur. If you are not a qualified electrician, do not do installation
or maintenance work. Go through these steps before you begin any installation or
maintenance work.
1. Keep the cabinet doors closed when the drive is powered. With the doors open, a risk
of a potentially fatal electric shock, arc flash or high-energy arc blast exists.
2. Clearly identify the work location.
3. Disconnect all possible voltage sources. Lock and tag.
• Open the main disconnecting device of the drive.
• Open the charging switch if present.
• If the main disconnecting device does not disconnect the voltage from the AC input
power busbars of the drive cabinet, open the disconnector of the supply transformer.
• Open the auxiliary voltage switch-disconnector (if present), and all other possible
disconnecting devices that isolate the drive from dangerous voltage sources.
• In the liquid cooling unit (if present), open the motor protective circuit breaker(s) of
the cooling pumps.
• If you have a permanent magnet motor connected to the drive, disconnect the motor
from the drive with a safety switch or by other means.
• Make sure that re-connection is not possible.
• Disconnect any external power sources from the control circuits.
• After you disconnect the drive, always wait 5 minutes to let the intermediate circuit
capacitors discharge before you continue.
4. Protect any other energized parts in the work location against contact.
5. Take special precautions when close to bare conductors.
6. Measure that the installation is de-energized. If the measurement requires removal or
disassembly of shrouding or other cabinet structures, obey the local laws and regulations
applicable to live working (including – but not limited to – electric shock and arc
protection).
• Use a multimeter with an impedance of at least 1 Mohm.
• Make sure that the voltage between the drive input power terminals and the
grounding (PE) busbar is close to 0 V.
• Make sure that the voltage between the drive DC busbars (+ and -) and the
grounding (PE) busbar is close to 0 V.
• If you have a permanent magnet motor connected to the drive, make sure that the
voltage between the drive output terminals and the grounding (PE) busbar is close
to 0 V.
