3.1.- PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATIONS
The device installation and the maintenance operations must only be carried out by
authorised and qualified personnel.
In order to use the device safely, it is critical that individuals who handle it follow the
safety measures set out in the standards of the country where it is being used, use the
personal protective equipment necessary (rubber gloves, face protection and approved
flame-resistant clothing) to prevent injuries due to electric shock or electric arc due
to exposure to current-carrying conductors and pay attention to the various warnings
indicated in this instruction manual.
Incorrect installation or configuration of the device could cause serious damage to the
device itself and to other devices of the installation.
Only suitable for assembly on concrete or other non-combustible surfaces, and in re-
stricted access areas.
The devices are not intended for use in life support, medical safety equipment or similar
applications, whereby a fault in the device could cause loss of life or physical injury.
They are neither intended for military or defence applications. They should be installed
in areas with restricted access.
Disconnect the main switch before starting any maintenance task on the active fil-
ters.
Make sure the device is properly
earthed
before powering up. Any fault in the earth
connection might cause a risk of electrocution to the user and damage to the device
itself in the case of lightning or other transients.
Before handling the
current transformers
, ensure that the secondary is short-circuited.
