Personal protective equipment
Loosely worn or unsuitable clothing increases the danger of becoming
trapped or caught up in rotating parts and the danger of getting caught on
protruding parts. This increases the danger to life and limb.
▪ All necessary devices and personal protective equipment required for the
specific task, such as a hard hat, safety footwear, etc. must be worn. Ob-
serve the section "Personal protective equipment" [
14].
▪ Never wear damaged personal protective equipment.
▪ Never wear rings, necklaces, or other jewelry.
▪ If you have long hair, wear a hairnet.
Work area
Untidy and poorly lit work areas can lead to accidents.
▪ Keep the work area clean and tidy.
▪ Make sure that the work area is well lit.
▪ Observe the applicable laws for accident prevention in the relevant coun-
try.
Working during operation
The product may only be operated in a sound, operational condition. Other-
wise it poses a danger to life and limb.

tervals described in this technical file.
Working with current transformers
Dangerous high voltages may occur when a current transformer is operated
with an open secondary circuit. This can lead to injuries and property dam-
age.
▪ Never operate a current transformer with an open secondary circuit; short-
circuit the current transformer to prevent this.
▪ Observe the information in the current transformer operating instructions.
