WARNING
Electric shock if the cutout in the protective flap has been broken out
Live components are exposed and accessible if the DC link adapters (6SL3162-2BD00-0AA0
and 6SL3162-2BE00-0AA0) are removed. Touching live components can result in death or
serious injury.
• Replace the protective flap with the broken out cutouts with a new protective flap.
WARNING
Electric shock or fire if the necessary clearances and creepage distances are not complied
with
When using non-insulated end sleeves, the required clearances and creepage distances for the
DC link adapter (6SL3162-2BD00-0AA0) are not complied with. This can result in flashover
between the cables and the undesirable formation of arcs. As a consequence, there is a risk of
electric shock and fire.
• Only use DC link connecting cables with insulated end sleeves.
WARNING
Fire and device damage as a result of ground fault/short-circuit
The DC link connecting cables must be laid so that a ground fault or short-circuit is impossible.
A ground fault can cause a fire with smoke development.
• Comply with local installation regulations, which allow this fault to be ruled out.
• Protect the cables against mechanical damage.
Also implement one of the following measures:
• Use cables with double insulation.
• Maintain adequate clearance, e.g. by using spacers.
• Lay the cables in separate cable ducts or conduits.
WARNING
Fire due to overheating when permissible power cable lengths are exceeded
Excessively long power cable lengths can cause components to overheat with the associated
risk of fire and smoke.
• Ensure that the total length of the DC link including the connecting cables does not exceed
10 m.
WARNING
Electric shock due to incorrectly laid 24 V supply cables
If supply cables are laid without safe electrical separation, the insulation can fail with an electric
shock.
• Maintain a clearance of at least 100 mm between the 24 V supply cables and the DC link
connecting cables.
• Or use cables with double insulation (e.g. sheathed cables) for the 24 V supply cables.
