Safety and operating instructions for drive power converters
(as per: Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EEC )
1. General
During operation, drive power converters may, depending on their
protection class, have live, bare, moving or rotating parts or hot
surfaces.
Unauthorised removal of covers, improper use, incorrect installation or
operation causes a 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 assembly, 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 installed in machines, the drive power converter cannot be
commissioned (i.e. commencement of the proper use) until it has been
ensured that the machine meets the provisions of the EC Directive
2006/42/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 (2004/108/EEC) is complied with.
Drive power converters with the CE mark meet the requirements of the
Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EEC. The harmonized standards stated
in the Declaration of Conformity are used for the drive power converters.
Technical data and information for connection conditions can be found
on the rating plate and in the documentation, and must be complied
with.
The drive power converters may only be used for the safety functions
which are described and for which they have been explicitly approved.
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, which can be easily damaged by incorrect
handling. Electrical components must not be mechanically
damaged or destroyed (this may cause a health hazard!).
5. Electrical connections
When working on live drive power converters, the applicable
national accident prevention regulations must be complied with
(e.g. VBG A3, formerly VBG 4).
The electrical installation must be implemented according to 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 limiting values
specified in the EMC regulations is the responsibility of the
manufacturer of the system or machine.
6. Operation
Where necessary, systems where drive power converters are
installed must be equipped with additional monitoring and
protective equipment according to the applicable safety
requirements, e.g. legislation concerning technical equipment,
accident prevention regulations, etc.
The parameterisation and configuration of the drive power
converter must be selected so that no hazards can occur.
All covers must be kept closed during operation.
7. Maintenance and repairs
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. Observe the relevant information signs
located on the drive power converter.
Further information can be found in this documentation.
These safety instructions must be kept in a safe place!
