authorized to install, commission, and maintain equipment,
systems, and circuits in accordance with pertinent laws and
regulations. Also, the personnel must be familiar with the
instructions and safety measures described in this guide.
2.3 Safety Precautions
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE
Frequency converters contain high voltage when
connected to AC mains input, DC supply, or load sharing.
Failure to perform installation, start-up, and maintenance
by qualified personnel can result in death or serious
injury.
•
Only qualified personnel must perform instal-
lation, start-up, and maintenance.
WARNING
UNINTENDED START
When the frequency converter is connected to AC mains,
DC supply, or load sharing, the motor may start at any
time. Unintended start during programming, service, or
repair work can result in death, serious injury, or
property damage. Start the motor with an external
switch, a fieldbus command, an input reference signal
from the local control panel (LCP), via remote operation
using MCT 10 software, or after a cleared fault condition.
To prevent unintended motor start:
•
Disconnect the frequency converter from the
mains.
•
Press [Off/Reset] on the LCP before
programming parameters.
•
Ensure that the frequency converter is fully
wired and assembled when it is connected to
AC mains, DC supply, or load sharing.
WARNING
DISCHARGE TIME
The frequency converter contains DC-link capacitors,
which can remain charged even when the frequency
converter is not powered. High voltage can be present
even when the warning LED indicator lights are off.
Failure to wait the specified time after power has been
removed before performing service or repair work can
result in death or serious injury.
•
Stop the motor.
•
Disconnect AC mains and remote DC-link power
supplies, including battery back-ups, UPS, and
DC-link connections to other frequency
converters.
•
Disconnect or lock PM motor.
•
Wait for the capacitors to discharge fully. The
minimum duration of waiting time is specified
in
and is also visible on the product
label on top of the frequency converter.
•
Before performing any service or repair work,
use an appropriate voltage measuring device to
make sure that the capacitors are fully
discharged.
