• Incorrectly assembled or installed equipment
• Wrongly connected cables
• External influence on, or damage of the equipment
• Wrong parameter settings
• Software errors
• Faulty hardware
3) Hazardous touch voltages can be present on converter system components,
which can be caused by:
• Operation of the equipment outside the scope of the specifications
• External influence on, or damage of the equipment
• Induced voltages by external equipment
• Condensation on equipment components, or pollution
• Faulty hardware
4) High temperatures, noise, particles, or gases can be emitted from converter
system components caused by:
• 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 converter system components,
