1.3.2 Systems and Material Area
1.3.2.1 Fire
TC.ACS power supply systems are manufactured from nonflammable materials exclusively.
In case of fire, electrically isolate the system immediately, on the one hand to interrupt the supply of energy and
on the other hand to shut down the fans.
Fight the fire from bottom to top in accordance with the rules in your organization using suitable firefighting
equipment (CO
2
fire extinguisher). If possible use fire extinguishers with asphyxiation action to keep the
secondary damage low.
1.3.2.2 Electromagnetic Fields
Like any electrical system, TC.ACS systems produce electrical and magnetic fields. However, these fields comply
fully with the usual standards.
Note that particularly the EM fields from your wires and equipment connected could nevertheless produce
interference on objects in the immediate area.
• Keep data carriers and PC-based measuring environments at an adequate distance from live wires to prevent
interference and data loss.
• Protect highly-sensitive sensors and instruments.
• Test effects on communication networks, in particular radio networks.
• Make individuals with electronic implants aware that implants may be affected.
1.3.2.3 Noise and Noise Level
The inductive elements as well as the fans on the TC.ACS low voltage system produce a lower or higher noise level
dependent on the operating mode. However, in the immediate vicinity of the cabinet this noise is under the
tolerance limit that would make acoustic protection equipment necessary.
The usage of acoustic protection equipment or acoustic insulation measures can be necessary in specific
circumstances.
1.3.2.4 Mechanical Damage
Incorrect operation of the systems can result in mechanical damage to the downstream equipment and systems.
In particular, on the supply of power to drives it is to be ensured, that excessively high speeds cannot result in
load shedding. The monitoring of the maximum speed with intervention in the safety chain is recommended
above all.
