Appendix G Environmental Considerations
Hazardous Materials Environmental protection is a top priority for Rockwell Automation. The facility
that manufactured this medium voltage drive operates an environmental
management system that is certified to the requirements of ISO 14001. As part of
this system, this product was reviewed in detail throughout the development
process to ensure that environmentally inert materials were used wherever
feasible. A final review has found this product to be substantially free of
hazardous material.
Rockwell Automation is actively seeking alternatives to potentially hazardous
materials for which no feasible alternatives exist today in the industry. In the
interim, the following precautionary information is provided for your protection
and for the protection of the environment. Please contact the factory for any
environmental information on any material in the drive or with any general
questions regarding environmental impact.
Capacitor Dielectric Fluid
The fluids used in the filter capacitors and the snubber capacitors are generally
considered very safe and are fully sealed within the capacitor housings. Shipping
and handling of this fluid is typically not restricted by environmental regulations.
In the unlikely event that capacitor fluid leaks out, avoid ingestion or contact
with skin or eyes as slight irritation could result. Rubber gloves are recommended
for handling.
To clean up, soak into an absorbent material and discard into an emergency
container, or, if significant leakage occurs, pump fluid directly into the container.
Do not dispose into any drain or into the environment in general or into general
landfill refuse. Dispose of according to local regulations. If disposing of an entire
capacitor, the same disposal precautions should be taken.
Printed Circuit Boards
Printed circuit boards may contain lead in components and materials. Circuit
boards must be disposed of according to local regulations and must not be
disposed of with general landfill refuse.
Lithium Batteries
This drive contains four small lithium batteries. Three are mounted on the
printed circuit boards and one is located in the PanelView user interface. Each
battery contains less than 0.05g of lithium, which is fully sealed within the
batteries. Shipping and handling of these batteries is typically not restricted by
environmental regulations, however, lithium is considered a hazardous substance.
Lithium batteries must be disposed of according to local regulations and must
not be disposed of with general landfill refuse.
