General Information.
Read the instructions in the manual.
Personal protective equipment
Personal protective equipment shall be used when necessary during handling, installation and
maintenance of the electric device to avoid injury.
Use eye protective equipment like safety goggles or mask when you work with the electric
device. Permanent damage to the eye could be caused if bearing grease, melted nitrile rubber
(radial lip seal), glycol or other fluids splash.
Use hearing protective equipment when you work on the electric device. Hearing injuries can
be caused by too loud noise (noise in excess of 85 dBA).
Use head protective equipment like helmet when you lift the electric device! Head injuries can
be caused by object impact.
Use cut resistant gloves when you handle and maintain the electric device. There is a risk of
cut injuries.
Use protective footwear when you lift or move the electric device! Foot injuries could be
caused if lifting system or lifting brackets fail.
EMC stands for Electromagnetic compatibility. It is the ability of electric equipment to operate without
problems within an electromagnetic environment. Likewise, the equipment must not disturb or interfere
with any other product or system within its locality. This is a legal requirement for all equipment taken
into service within the European Economic Area (EEA).
Our products are designed with high standards of EMC in mind. Connect the power lines and groundings
along the instructions in this user guide to achieve the required level of EMI protection.
It is the responsibility of the installer to make sure that the equipment or system into which the product is
incorporated complies with the EMC legislation of the country of use. Within the European Union,
equipment into which this product is incorporated must comply with the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU.
When interfacing other equipment, connect only equipment that are specified as part of the
system and that are compatible.
Magnetic and electromagnetic fields generated near the current-carrying conductors and
permanent magnets in electric machines represent a health danger to persons with heart
pacemakers, metal implants and hearing aids. Persons with a heart pacemaker, metal
implants or hearing aids must consult a doctor before they enter the following areas:
•
Areas in which electric equipment and parts are operated
•
Areas in which electric equipment with permanent magnets are stored, mounted,
operated or repaired
If necessary, perform a special electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) test on the installation.
Installation safety
Only trained and qualified personnel familiar with the relevant safety requirements can
install the electric device. If the electric device is installed incorrectly it may lead to safety
hazard.
Make sure of correct grounding connections. Do not run the electric device without correctly
attached protective earth conductor. The grounding cable must be sufficient to carry the
maximum supply fault current which is normally limited by the fuses or Miniature Circuit
Breaker (MCB). Suitably rated fuses or MCB should be fitted in the mains supply of the electric
device, by the local legislation and recommendations.
Use only correct (type and value) protective fuses with the high voltage DC-system.
Do not do any work on the electric device control cables when the power is applied to the
electric device or to the external control circuits.
The control input functions of the electric device – for example stop/start must be secured
using independent channel protection in safety critical applications. All applications where
malfunction could cause injury or loss of life must be subject to a risk assessment and improve
control signal protection if needed.
Do not activate the automatic fault reset function on any system, where this may cause a
potentially dangerous situation. Reason for every fault situation should be determined
before resetting the fault.
Make sure that the supply voltage corresponds to the specification of the electric device.
Do not attempt to repair the electric device. In the case of suspected fault or malfunction,
contact Danfoss or Danfoss authorized service center for further assistance.
When you install the electric device, make sure that the cooling system and the used coolant
meet the specifications of the manufacturer. Make sure that the cooling system is in use when
the DC-link is powered.
If the control cabling is installed close with the power cabling, make sure that minimum
separation distance is 100 mm and crossings are at 90 degrees. Make sure that all terminal
connections are tightened correctly by the instructions.
Electric device must not be opened (excluding the connection box lid). Any attempt causes
loss of warranty.
Within the European Union, all machinery in which this product is used must comply with
Directive 98/37/EC, Safety of Machinery. In particular, the machine manufacturer is
responsible for providing a main switch and ensuring the electrical equipment complies with
EN60204-1.
Use correct personal protective equipment when you are near the electric device.
Read the instructions in this user guide before you start to install the electric device.
Do not use the electric device without correctly dimensioned and operating cooling system.
Maximum operation temperature must not be exceeded to avoid permanent damage to the
electrical device.
The requirements of this user guide and other related instructions and standards must be
followed.
Do not touch the electric device during operation. The surface of the electric device can be
hot.
