Frequency  converters  can  cause  fault  currents  that  are  not 

detected by means of a standard earth leakage circuit breaker. 

So  the  machine  may  be  operated  with  an  AC/DC  sensitive 

RCCB (residual-current circuit-breaker) only. 

 

Frequency  converters  have  built-in  capacitors  that  discharge 

after switching off the machine. 

The machine’s connecting plug 

may  be  pulled  out  of  the  outlet  not  before  approx.  1  to  2 

minutes after switching off the main circuit breaker. 

 

 

 

5. Demands on operating personnel 

 

The  machine  may  only  be  operated  by  personnel 

who  have  been  trained  for  such,  shown  what  is 

involved  and  are  authorised  to  do  so.    These 

individuals have to know and act in accordance with 

the  Operating  Instructions.    The  respective 

authorisations  for  the  operation  personnel  must  be 

clearly prescribed.   

In addition to this, special qualifications are required 

for the following activities: 

Operation personnel being trained may at first only 

work  with  the machine  under the  supervision of  an 

experienced  individual.    It  should  be  confirmed  in 

writing  that  the  training  has  been  successfully 

completed. 

Only trained personnel may ever operate any of the 

control and safety equipment. 

 

All  individuals  that  carry  out  any  activities  with  the 

machine  have  to  read  the  Operating  Instructions 

and  confirm  by  their  signature  that  they  have 

understood the Operating Instructions.
