4.
The release of substances and emissions that are harmful to the environment
Improper operation or the improper disposal of components can harm the environment.
5.
Hazard caused by electrical, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields
Electrical, magnetic and electromagnetic fields generated in operation that can pose a
risk to people with a pacemaker, implants, or metal replacement joints, etc., if they are
too close to the converter.
6.
Damage from pressure build-up during electric arcs in the event of a fault
If the building has not been designed correctly for the drive in terms of how it has been
dimensioned, damage can result from the pressure that can possibly build up inside.
7.
Dangerous electric arcs during internal faults
The drives are designed according to the relevant IEC standards and have been tested in
line with strict type-testing procedures. They were developed and manufactured so that
there is a very low probability of internal faults occurring. However, internal faults cannot
be completely ruled out.
WARNING
Dangerous electric arcs during internal faults
Defects such as damage to components, overvoltages, or loose parts, as well as
exceptional operating statuses, can cause a failure within the enclosure. This can result in
an internal electric arc. If an electric arc occurs and people are nearby, this could lead to
death, serious physical injury, and damage to property.
•
Ensure that only qualified personnel perform work on the drive.
•
Observe the safety and operating instructions in this documentation and on labels at the
drive for all work on the drive.
