General safety and operating instructions for drive converters
in conformity with the Low-Voltage Directive 79/23/EEC
1. General
In operation, drive converters, depending on their
degree of protection, may have live, uninsulated, and
possibly also moving or rotating parts, as well as hot
surfaces.
In case of inadmissible removal of the required covers,
or improper use, wrong installation or maloperation,
there is the danger of serious personal injury and
damage to property. For further information, see
documentation.
All operations serving transport, installation and
commissioning as well as maintenance are to be
carried out by skilled technical personnel. (Observe
IEC 364 or CELEC HD 384 or DIN VDE 0100 and IEC
664 or DIN/VDE 0110 and national accident
prevention rules!)
For the purposes of these basic safety instructions,
"skilled technical personnel" means persons who are
familiar with the installation, mounting, commissioning
and operation of the product and have the
qualifications needed for the performance of their
functions.
2. Intended use
Drive converters are components designed for
inclusion in electrical installations or machinery.
In case of installation in machinery, commissioning of
the drive converter (i.e. the starting of normal
operation) is prohibited until the machinery has been
proved to conform to the provisions of the directive
89/392/EEC (Machinery Safety Directive - MSD).
Account is to be taken of EN 60204.
Commissioning (i.e. the starting of normal operation) is
admissible only where conformity with the EMC
directive (89/336/EEC) has been established.The drive
converters meet the requirements of the low-voltage
directive 73/23/EEC. They are subject to the
harmonized standards of the series prEN 50178/DIN
VDE 0160 in conjunction with EN 50439-1/VDE 0660,
part 500, and EN 60146/VDE 0558.
The technical data as well as information concerning
the supply conditions shall be taken from the rating
plate and from the documentation and shall be strictly
observed.
3. Transport, storage
The instructions for transport, storage and proper use
shall be complied with.
The climatic conditions shall be in conformity with
prEN 50178.
4. Installation
The installation and cooling of the appliances shall be
in accordance with the specifications in the pertinent
documentation.
The drive converters shall be protected against
excessive strains. In particular, no components must
be bent or isolating distances altered in the course of
transportation or handling. No cantact shall be made
with electronic components and contacts. Drive
converters contain electrostatic sensitive components
which are liable to damage through improper use.
Electric components must not be mechanically
damaged or destroyed (potential health risks).
5. Electrical connection
When working on live drive converters, the applicable
national accident prevention rules (e.g. VB 4) must be
complied with.
The electrical installation shall be carried out in
accordance with the relevant requirements (e.g. cross
sectional areas of conductors, fusing, PE connection).
For further information, see documentation.
Instructions for the installation in accordance with the
EMC requirements, like screening, earthing, location of
filters and wiring, are contained in the drive converter
documentation. They must always be complied with,
also for drive converters bearing a CE marking.
Observance of the limit values required by EMC law is
the responsibility of the manufacturer of the installation
or machine.
6. Operation
Installations, which include drive converters shall be
equipped with additional control and protective devices
in accordance with the relevant applicable safety
requirements, e.g. Act respecting technical equipment,
accident prevention rules, etc. Changes to the drive
converters by means of the operating software are
admissible.
After disconnection of the drive converter from the
voltage supply, live applicance parts and power
terminals must not be touched immediately because of
possibly energized capacitors. In this respect, the
corresponding signs and markings on the drive
converter must be respected.
During operation, all covers and doors shall be kept
closed.
7. Maintenance and servicing
The manufacturer’s documentation shall be followed.
