Cautions and Warnings
Important Information
Please read all safety and warning notes carefully before installing the EMC filter and
putting it into operation (see ). The same applies to the warning signs on the filter.
Please ensure that the signs are not removed nor their legibility impaired by external
influences.
Death, serious bodily injury and substantial material damage to equipment may occur if
the appropriate safety measures are not carried out or the warnings in the text are not
observed.
The EMC filters may be used only for their intended application within the specified
values in low-voltage networks in compliance with the instructions given in the data
sheets and the data book. The conditions at the place of application must comply with
all specifications for the filter used.
Warnings
• It shall be ensured that only qualified persons (electricity specialists) engage on work
such as planning, assembly, installation, operation, repair and maintenance. They
must be provided with the corresponding documentation.
• Danger of electric shock. EMC filters contain components that store an electric charge.
Dangerous voltages can continue to exist at the filter terminals for longer than five
minutes even after the power has been switched off.
• The protective earth connections shall be the first to be made when the EMC filter is
installed and the last to be disconnected. Depending on the magnitude of the leakage
currents, the particular specifications for making the protective-earth connection must
be observed.
• Impermissible overloading of the EMC filter, such as impermissible voltages at higher
frequencies that may cause resonances etc. can lead to destruction of the filter
housing.
• EMC filters must be protected in the application against impermissible exceeding of
the rated currents by suitable overcurrent protective.
• All electrical connections must be re-torqued annually.
