1.2.2. General Safety Rules
Generality
DANGER: The installation, commission and operation must be performed by
qualified personnel, in conjunction with this documentation.
The qualified personnel must know the safety (C18510 authorization,
standard VDE 0105 or IEC 0364) and local regulations.
They must be authorized to install, commission and operate in accordance
with established practices and standards.
Electrical hazard
Servo drives may contain non-insulated live AC or DC components. Respect
the drives commissioning manual. Users are advised to guard against
access to live parts before installing the equipment.
Some parts of the motor or installation elements can be subjected to
dangerous voltages, when the motor is driven by the inverter , when the
motor rotor is manually rotated, when the motor is driven by its load, when
the motor is at standstill or stopped.
For measurements use only a meter to IEC 61010 (CAT III or higher).
Always begin using the highest range. CAT I and CAT II meters must not be
used on this product.
Allow at least 5 minutes for the drive's capacitors to discharge to safe
voltage levels (<50V). Use the specified meter capable of measuring up to
1000V dc & ac rms to confirm that less than 50V is present between all
power terminals and between power terminals and earth.
The motor must be permanently connected to an appropriate safety
earth.The continuity of the grounding circuit has to be checked on the
complete circuit : the resistance between any conductive point and the
grounding conductor shall not exceed more than
100mΩ
To prevent any accidental contact with live components, it is necessary to
check that cables are not damaged, stripped or not in contact with a rotating
part of the machine. The work place must be clean, dry.
General recommendations :
- Check the wiring circuit
- Lock the electrical cabinets
- Use standardized equipment
Mechanical hazard
Servomotors can accelerate in milliseconds. Running the motor can lead to
other sections of the machine moving dangerously. Moving parts must be
screened off to prevent operators coming into contact with them. The
working procedure must allow the operator to keep well clear of the danger
area.
Burning Hazard
Always bear in mind that some parts of the surface of the motor can reach
temperatures exceeding 100°C.
