Functional safety with NORD SK 500E frequency inverters Safety information
Safety and operating instructions for drive power converters
(as per: Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EEC)
1.General
During operation, drive power converters may, depending on their protection class, have live, bare, moving or rotating parts or hot surfaces.
Unauthorised removal of covers, improper use, incorrect installation or
operation causes a risk of serious personal injury or material damage.
Further information can be found in this documentation.
All transportation, installation commissioning and maintenance work
must be carried out by qualified personnel (compliant with IEC 364 or.
CENELEC HD 384 or DIN VDE 0100 and IEC 664 or DIN VDE 0110
and national accident prevention regulations).
For the purposes of these basic safety instructions, qualified personnel
are persons who are familiar with the assembly, installation, commissioning and operation of this product and who have the relevant qualifications for their work.
2. Proper use in Europe
Drive power converters are components intended for installation in electrical systems or machines.
When installed in machines, the drive power converter must not be
commissioned (i.e. commencement of the proper use) until it has been
ensured that the machine meets the provisions of the EC Directive
2006/42/EEC (Machinery Directive); EN 60204 must also be complied
with.
Commissioning (i.e. implementation of the proper use) is only permitted
if the EMC directive (2004/108/EEC) is complied with.
Drive power converters with a CE label meet the requirements of the
Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EEC. The stated harmonized standards
for drive current inverters are used in the declaration of conformity.
Technical data and information for connection conditions can be found
on the rating plate and in the documentation, and must be complied
with.
The drive power converters may only be used for safety functions which
are described and explicitly approved.
3. Transport, storage
Information regarding transport, storage and correct handling must be
complied with.
4. Installation
The installation and cooling of the equipment must be implemented according to the regulations in the corresponding documentation.
The drive power converter must be protected against impermissible loads. Especially during transport and handling, components must not be deformed and/or insulation distances must
not be changed. Touching of electronic components and contacts must be avoided.
Drive power converters have electrostatically sensitive components, which can be easily damaged by incorrect handling. Electrical components must not be mechanically damaged or destroyed (this may cause a health hazard!).
5. Electrical connection
When working on live drive power converters, the applicable national accident prevention regulations must be complied with
(e.g. BGV A3, formerly VBG 4).
The electrical installation must be implemented according to the
applicable regulations (e.g. cable cross-section, fuses, earth
lead connections). Further instructions can be found in the documentation.
Information regarding EMC-compliant installation – such as
shielding, earthing, location of filters and installation of cables –
can be found in the drive power converter documentation. These instructions must be complied with even with CE marked
drive power converters. Compliance with the limit values specified in the EMC regulations is the responsibility of the manufacturer of the system or machine.
6. Operation
Systems in which drive power converters are installed must be
equipped, where necessary, with additional monitoring and protective equipment as per the applicable safety requirements,
e.g. legislation concerning technical equipment, accident prevention regulations, etc.
The parameterisation and configuration of the drive power converter must be selected so that no hazards can occur.
All covers must be kept closed during operation.
7. Maintenance and repairs
After the drive power converter is disconnected from the power
supply, live equipment components and power connections
should not be touched immediately, because of possible
charged capacitors. Observe the applicable information signs
located on the drive power converter.
Further information can be found in this documentation.
These safety instructions must be kept in a safe place!

1 General
This manual BU 0530 ES describes the aspects that are directly related to the functional safety of the
equipment. All standard functions and parameters of the inverter are contained in the manual (BU 0500 GB).
1.1 Safety and installationinformation
SK 500E frequency inverters are equipment for use in industrial high voltage systems and are operated at
voltages that could lead to severe injuries or death if they are touched.
Installation and other work may only be carried out by qualified electricians and with the device
disconnected. The operating instructions must always be available to these persons and must
be strictly observed by them.
Local regulations for the installation of electrical equipment and accident prevention must be
complied with.
The equipment continues to carry hazardous voltages for up to 5 minutes after being switched
off at the mains. The equipment may only be opened or the cover or control element removed 5
minutes after the equipment has been disconnected from the power supply. All covers must be
put back in place before the mains voltage is switched back on again.
For single phase operation (115/230 V) the mains impedance must be at least 100H for each
conductor. If this is not the case, a mains choke must be installed.
1 General
For safe isolation from the mains, all poles of the supply cable to the frequency inverter must be
able to be disconnected.
Even during motor standstill (e.g. caused by an electronic block, blocked drive or output terminal
short circuit), the line connection terminals, motor terminals and braking resistor terminals may
still conduct hazardous voltages. A motor standstill is not identical to electrical isolation from the
mains.
Parts of the control board, and especially the connector socket for the removable technology
units also carry hazardous voltages. The control terminals are mains voltage free.
Note: with certain settings, the frequency inverter can start up automatically after the mains are
switched on.
The circuit boards contain highly-sensitive MOS semiconductor components that are particularly
sensitive to static electricity. Avoid touching circuit tracks and components with the hand or
metallic objects. Only the terminal strip screws may be touched with insulated screwdrivers when
connecting the cables.
The frequency inverter is only intended for permanent connection and may not be operated
without effective earthing connections which comply with the local regulations for large leakage
currents
(> 3.5 mA). VDE 0160 stipulates the installation of a second earthing conductor or an earthing
conductor cross-section of at least 10 mm2.
A universal leakage current-sensitive circuit breaker (type B) according to EN 50178/VDE 0160
must be used.
SK 500E frequency inverters are maintenance free. The cooling surfaces must be regularly
cleaned with compressed air if the ambient air is dusty.
Installation of the frequency inverter in an IP54 switching cabinet is mandatory.
The clamp cover must be used!
BU 0530 GB-3712 9
Functional safety with NORD SK 500E frequency inverters
The heat sink and all other metal components can heat up to temperatures above 70 ℃.
When mounting, sufficient distance from neighbouring components must be maintained.
When working on the components, allow sufficient cooling time beforehand
Protection against accidental contact may need to be provided.
ATTENTION
DANGER TO LIFE!
The power unit can continue to carry voltages for up to 5 minutes after being switched off at
the mains. Inverter terminals, motor cables and motor terminals may carry voltage!
Touching open or free terminals, cables and equipment components can lead to severe injury
or death!
Work may only be carried out by qualified specialist electricians and with the electrical supply
to the equipment disconnected!
Children and the general public must be kept away from the equipment!
The equipment may only be used for the purpose intended by the manufacturer.
Unauthorised modifications and the use of spare parts and additional equipment which has
not been purchased from or recommended by the manufacturer of the device may cause fire,
electric shock and injury.
Keep these operating instructions in an accessible location and give them to all operators!
This product is intended for use in an industrial environment and is subject to sales
restrictions according to IEC 61800-3. In a domestic environment, this product can cause
high frequency interference, in which case the user may be required to take appropriate
measures.
An appropriate measure would be the inclusion of a recommended mains filter.
1.2 Approvals and certificates
The certificates listed below refer to functional safety. Certifications relating to the frequency inverter (EMC,
UL, etc.) are listed in the main manual (BU0500).
