RESIDUAL HAZARDS OF THE PRODUCT
• Even in case of proper use, should a fault occur, it is possible that
control of currents, voltages and power is no longer performed in the
load circuit by the Thyristor switch.
In case of destruction of the power components (e.g break-down or
high resistance), the following situations are possible: power interruption,
half-wave operation, continuous power flow. If such a situation occurs,
then load voltages and currents are produced from the physical dimen-
sions of the overall power circuit. It must be ensured by system design
that no uncontrolled large currents, voltages or power occur.
MALOPERATION AND ITS RESULTS
• With maloperation it is possible that power, voltage or flow levels
which are higher than planned reach the Thyristor switch or load.
On principle, this can lead to the Thyristor switch or load being
damagad.
TRANSPORT
• Thyristor switches are only to be transported in their original
packaging (protection against damage e.g. due to jolting, knocking,
soiling).
INSTALLATION
• If the Thyristor switch is brought into the operation room from a cold
environment, moisture can occur. Prior to it being commissioned,
the Thyristor switch must be absolutely dry. Therefore, wait for a
minimum of two hours before commissioning.
CONNECTION
• Prior to connection, it must be ensured that the voltage information
on the type plate corresponds with the mains voltage.
• The electrical connection is carried out at the designated points with
the required cross section and the appropriate screw cross sections.
OPERATION
• The Thyristor switch may only be connected to the mains voltage if it
has been ensured that any hazard to people and system, especially in
