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.
Please be assured that 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.
