Safety information
Safety and application notes
for frequency converters
(Low-Voltage Directive (2006/95/EEC)
1.
General
During operation, power feedback unit may have, according to their
type of protection, live, bare, in some cases also movable or rotating
parts as well as hot surfaces.
Non –authorized removal of required cover, inappropriate use, incor-
rect installation or operation, creates the risk of severe injury to per-
sons or damage to material assets.
Further information can be obtained from the documentation.
All operations concerning transport, installation and commissioning as
well as maintenance must be carried out by qualified, skilled person-
nel (IEC 364 and CENELEC HD 384 or DIN VDE 0100 and IEC-
Report 664 or DIN VDE 0110 and national regulations for the preven-
tions of accidents must be observed).
According to this basic safety information qualified skilled personnel
are persons who are familiar with the erection, assembly, commission-
ing and operation of the product and who have the qualifications nec-
essary for their occupation .
2.
Application as directed
Power feedback units are components which are designed for installa-
tion in electrical systems or machinery.
When installing in machines, commissioning of the power feedback
unit (i.e. the starting of operation as directed) is prohibited until it is
proven, that the machine corresponds to the regulations of the EC Di-
rective (2006/42/EG) (Machinery Directive); EN 60204 must be ob-
served.
Commissioning (i.e. starting operation as directed) is only allowed
when there is compliance with the EMC-Directive (2004/108/EG).
The power feedback units meet the requirements of the Low-Voltage
Directive (2006/95/EEC). The harmonized standards of the prEN
50178/DIN VDE 0160 series together with EN 60439-1/DIN VDE
0660 part 500 and EN 60146/DIN VDE 0558 are applicable for the
power feedback unit. The technical data and information on the con-
nection conditions must be obtained from the nameplate and the
documentation and must be observed in all cases.
3.
Transport, Storage
Notes on transport, storage and appropriate handling must be observed
The power feedback unit has to protected from inadmissible stress. In
particular during transport and handling no components are allowed to
be bend and / or isolating distances may not be altered. The units are
equipped with electrostatic sensitive devices, which may be damaged
by improper handling. Therefore it has to be avoid to get in contact
with electronic components. If electronic components are damaged
mechanically the unit must not be put into operation, as it cannot be
ensured, that all relevant standards are observed. Climatic conditions
must be observed according to prEN 50178
4.
Erection
The devices must be erected and cooled according to the regula-
tions of the corresponding documentation.
The power feedback units must be protected from inappropriate
loads. Particularly during transport and handling, components
must not be bent and / or isolating distances must not be changed.
Touching of electronic components and contacts must be avoided.
Power feedback units contain electro-statically sensitive compo-
nents which can easily be damaged by inappropriate handling.
Electrical components must not be damaged or destroyed me-
chanically (health risk are possible!).
5.
Electrical Connection
When working on live power feedback units, the valid national
regulations for the prevention of accidents (e.g. VBG 4) must be
observed. Before any installation or connection works, the pant
has to be switched off and to be secured properly.
The electrical installation must be carried out according to the ap-
propriate regulations (e.g. cable cross-sections, fuses, PE-
connection). More detailed information is included in the docu-
mentation. When using the power feedback unit with controllers
without safe separation from the supply line (to VDE 0100) all
control wiring has to be include in further protective measures
(e.g. double insulated or shielded, grounded and insulated).
Notes concerning the installation in compliance with EMC – such
as screening, grounding, arrangement of filters and laying of ca-
bles – are included in the chapter installation of this documenta-
tion. These notes must be also observed in all cases for power
feedback units with the CE-mark. The compliance with the re-
quired limit values demanded by the EMC legislation is the re-
sponsibility of the manufacturer of the system or machine.
6.
Operation
Systems where power feedback units are installed, if applicable,
have to be equipped with additional monitoring and protective
devices according to the valid safety regulations e.g. law on tech-
nical tools, regulations for the prevention of accidents, etc. .
After disconnecting the power feedback unit from the supply
voltage, live parts of the power feedback unit and power connec-
tions must not be touched immediately, because of possibly
charged capacitors. For this, observe the corresponding labels on
the drive controllers.
During operation, all covers and doors must be closed.
7.
Maintenance and service
The manufacturer’s documentation must be observed.
This safety information must be kept
!
The product-specific safety and application notes in these Operat-
ing Instructions must also be observed!
