WARNING
Electric shock when the protective flap of the DC link is open
Contact with live parts can result in death or serious injury.
• Only operate the components with closed protective flap.
WARNING
High leakage currents when the protective conductor in the line supply cable is
interrupted
The drive components conduct a high leakage current via the protective conductor. Touching
conductive parts when the protective conductor is interrupted can result in death or serious
injury.
• Carefully comply with the applicable regulations for dimensioning the protective conductor
(see Chapter "Protective connection and equipotential bonding").
WARNING
Electric shock due to improper DC link connection
Incorrect connections can cause overheating and so fire and smoke development. There is also
a risk of an electric shock. This can result in serious injury or death.
• When connecting to the DC link, only use the DC link adapter that has been approved by
Siemens.
WARNING
Electric shock due to missing DC link side covers
Live parts are exposed if the DC link side covers are not fitted. Contact with these live parts could
cause an electric shock.
• Mount the side covers on the first and last component in the drive lineup.
• Order any missing side covers (Article number: 6SL3162-5AA00-0AA0).
WARNING
Fire due to overheating resulting from power cables with inadequate cable cross-sections
Power cables with excessively low cross-sections can cause them to overheat. This can result in
severe injury or death due to fire and smoke.
• Only use power cables with sufficiently large cross-sections. Take into account the routing
type, ambient temperature and cable length.
