SAFETY
Servodrives present two main types of hazard :
-
Electrical hazard
Servoamplifiers may contain non-insulated live AC or DC
components. Users are advised to guard against access to live
parts before installing the equipment.
Even after the electrical panel is de-energized, voltages may be
present for more than a minute, until the power capacitors have
had time to discharge.
Specific features of the installation need to be studied to prevent
any accidental contact with live components :
- Connector lug protection ;
- Correctly fitted protection and earthing features ;
- Workplace insulation
(enclosure insulation humidity, etc.).
General recommendations :
•
Check the bonding circuit;
•
Lock the electrical cabinets;
•
Use standardised equipment.
- Mechanical hazard
Servomotors can accelerate in milliseconds. 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.
All assembly and commissioning work must be done by
qualified
personnel who are familiar with the safety regulations (e.g. VDE
0105 or accreditation C18510).
