6.2 Safety inspection
NOTE
High-voltage test
The integrated EMC filter has Y capacitors. The tripping current
is exceeded when AC testing voltage is applied.
→ Test the device with DC voltage when you perform the
legally required high-voltage test. The voltage to be used
corresponds to the peak value of the AC voltage required by
the standard.

6.3 Disposal
For ebm-papst, environmental protection and resource preservation are
top priority corporate goals.
ebm-papst operates an environmental management system which is
certified in accordance with ISO 14001 and rigorously implemented
around the world on the basis of German standards.
Right from the development stage, ecological design, technical safety
and health protection are fixed criteria.
The following section contains recommendations for ecological disposal
of the product and its components.
6.3.1 Country-specific legal requirements
NOTE
Country-specific legal requirements
Always observe the applicable country-specific legal
regulations with regard to the disposal of products or waste
occurring in the various phases of the life cycle. The
corresponding disposal standards are also to be heeded.
6.3.2 Disassembly
Disassembly of the product must be performed or supervised by
qualified personnel with the appropriate technical knowledge.
The product is to be disassembled into suitable components for disposal
employing standard procedures for motors.
WARNING
Heavy parts of the product may drop off. Some of the
product components are heavy. These components
could drop off during disassembly.
This can result in fatal or serious injury and material damage.
→ Secure components before unfastening to stop them falling.
6.3.3 Component disposal
The products are mostly made of steel, copper, aluminum and plastic.
Metallic materials are generally considered to be fully recyclable.
Separate the components for recycling into the following categories:
●
Steel and iron
●
Aluminum
●
Non-ferrous metal, e.g. motor windings
●
Plastics, particularly with brominated flame retardants, in accordance
with marking
●
Insulating materials
●
Cables and wires
●
Electronic scrap, e.g. circuit boards
Only ferrite magnets and not rare earth magnets are used in external
rotor motors from ebm-papst Mulfingen GmbH & Co. KG.
;
Ferrite magnets can be disposed of in the same way as normal iron
and steel.
Electrical insulating materials on the product, in cables and wires are
made of similar materials and are therefore to be treated in the same
manner.
The materials concerned are as follows:
●
Miscellaneous insulators used in the terminal box
●
Power cables
●
Cables for internal wiring
●
Electrolytic capacitors
Dispose of electronic components employing the proper procedures for
electronic scrap.
→ Please contact ebm-papst for any other questions on disposal.
