Safety and operating instructions for drive power converters
(as per: Low voltage guideline 73/23/EEC )
1. General
During operation, drive power converters may have, depending on
their protection class, live, bare, moving or rotating parts or hot
surfaces.
Unauthorised removal of covers, improper use, incorrect installation
or operation leads to the risk of serious personal injury or material
damage.
Further information can be found in this documentation.
All transportation, installation and initialisation and maintenance
work must be carried out by qualified personnel (comply with IEC
364, CENELEC HD 384, DIN VDE 0100, IEC 664 and DIN VDE
0110, and national accident prevention regulations).
For the purposes of these basic safety instructions, qualified
personnel are persons who are familiar with the erection,
installation, commissioning and operation of this product and who
have the relevant qualifications for their work.
2. Proper use in Europe
Drive power converters are components intended for installation in
electrical systems or machines.
When being installed in machines, the drive power converter cannot
be commissioned (i.e. implementation of the proper use) until it has
been ensured that the machine meets the provisions of the EC
directive 89/392/EEC (machine directive); EN 60204 must also be
complied with.
Commissioning (i.e. implementation of the proper use) is only
permitted when the EMC directive (89/336/EEC) is complied with.
The drive power converters meet the requirements of the low
voltage directive 73/23/EEC. The harmonised standards in prEN
50178/DIN VDE 0160, together with EN 60439-1/VDE 0660 Part
500 and EN 60146/VDE 0558 were applied for the drive power
converter.
Technical data and information for connection conditions can be
found on the rating plate and in the documentation, and must be
complied with.
3. Transport, storage
Information regarding transport, storage and correct handling must
be complied with.
4. Installation
The installation and cooling of the equipment must be
implemented according to the regulations in the
corresponding documentation.
The drive power converter must be protected against
impermissible loads. Especially during transport and
handling, components must not be deformed and/or
insulation distances must not be changed. Touching of
electronic components and contacts must be avoided.
Drive power converters have electrostatically sensitive
components that can be easily damaged by incorrect
handling. Electrical components must not be mechanically
damaged or destroyed (this may cause a health hazard!).
5. Electrical connection
When working on live drive power converters, the applicable
national accident prevention regulations must be complied
with (e.g. VBG 4).
The electrical installation must be implemented as per the
applicable regulations (e.g. cable cross-section, fuses,
ground lead connections) . Further instructions can be found
in the documentation.
Information about EMC-compliant installation – such as
shielding, earthing, location of filters and installation of
cables – can be found in the drive power converter
documentation. These instructions must be complied with
even with CE marked drive power converters. Compliance
with the limit values specified in the EMC regulations is the
responsibility of the manufacturer of the system or machine.
6. Operation
Systems where drive power converters are installed must
be equipped, where necessary, with additional monitoring
and protective equipment as per the applicable safety
requirements, e.g. legislation concerning technical
equipment, accident prevention regulations, etc.
Modifications to the drive power converter using the
operating software are permitted.
After the drive power converter is disconnected from the
power supply, live equipment components and power
connections should not be touched immediately because of
possible charged capacitors. Comply with the applicable
information signs located on the drive power converter.
All covers must be kept closed during operation.
7. Maintenance and repairs
The manufacturer documentation must be complied with.
These safety instructions must be kept in a safe place!
