By moving the adapter housing, the DC link adapter can be attached to either the left-hand or
right-hand side of the component.
WARNING
Electric shock when touching the DC link busbars
Contact with live parts can result in death or serious injury.
• The DC link adapters must be installed so that, after closing the DC link cover, the DC link
busbars cannot be touched!
WARNING
Electric shock due to incorrectly mounted DC link bridges
Incorrectly installed DC link bridges at the left-hand end of the drive lineup can cause an electric
shock.
• For all components that are 75 mm wide or wider, you must neither swing the DC link
bridges out of the component to the left nor remove them.
Note
• When mounting with only 2 screws, use the inner hole of the adapter busbar.
Washers
DC link adapters are supplied with washers, which are attached using a securing strap at the
inner hole of the DC link busbar. You must use these washers if you mount a DC link adapter onto
the left-hand side of a 150 to 300 mm wide component (one for each screw). In all other cases,
it is not permissible that you use these.
Additional information on using the washers is provided in Chapter "DC link adapters" of the
