2.4Safe handling
WARNING
High voltages from external supplies
Even if the circuit breaker is open, parts of the drive can be under voltage (live) as a result of
the auxiliary voltage at the premagnetization, precharging or demagnetization transformers.
This danger is not limited to the drive, but can also occur with components that are electrically
connected to the drive (e.g. circuit breakers or isolators). Touching live parts can result in
death, serious injury, and damage to property.
● Isolate all components that can feed voltage to the converter before commencing work.
WARNING
High voltages during operation
When operating this equipment very high voltages develop. Even after switching off the mains
voltage, or while the connected machine is still turning, high voltages can remain for a
prolonged length of time. High voltages can cause death or serious injury if the safety rules
are not observed or if the equipment is handled incorrectly.
● Operate the drive properly.
● Always follow the "The five safety rules (Page 19)" when performing any work.
● Only remove the covers using the methods described by these operating instructions.
● Maintain the drive regularly and correctly.
WARNING
High voltages from machines still turning and connected
Rotating machinery can induce dangerous high voltages and synchronous motors that are
not de-excited immediately can also pose a hazard. If the connection to the motor is not
isolated or grounded, these voltages can also remain. Touching live parts can result in death
or serious injury.
● Before opening the doors, wait until the connected machine has come to a standstill.

Safety instructions
2.8 Residual risks
Pay attention to the following residual risks:
● Unintentional movements of driven machine parts
Unintentional movements of driven machine parts can occur during commissioning,
operation, maintenance, and repair, e.g. from the following causes:
– Hardware defects and/or software errors in the sensors, controllers, actuators, and
connection technology
– Response times of the controller and drive
– Operating and/or environmental conditions outside of the specification
– Condensation/conductive contamination
– Parameterization, programming, cabling, and installation errors
– Use of radio devices/cell phones in the immediate vicinity of the controller
– External influences/damage
● High temperatures and emissions
A fault can occur as a result of the following, for example:
– Component malfunctions
– Software errors
– Operating and/or environmental conditions outside of the specification
– External influences/damage
A fault can, for example, have the following consequences both inside and outside the drive:
– Extraordinarily high temperatures, including open fires as a result of the fault
– Emissions of light, noise, particles or gases
Converters with open type/IP20 protection must be installed in a distribution station or
comparable environment.
● Hazardous shock voltages
Hazardous shock voltages can result from the following causes, for example:
– Component malfunctions
– Induction of voltages in moving motors
– Operating and/or environmental conditions outside of the specification
– Condensation/conductive contamination
– External influences/damage
● The release of substances and emissions that are harmful to the environment
Improper operation or the improper disposal of components can harm the environment.
● Damage from pressure build-up during electric arcs in the event of a fault
If the dimensions of the building have not been designed correctly for the drive, damage
can result from the pressure that may build up inside.
● Dangerous electric arcs during internal faults
The drives are designed according to the relevant IEC standards and have been tested in
line with strict type-testing procedures. They were developed and manufactured so that
there is a very low probability of internal faults occurring. However, internal faults cannot
be completely ruled out.
WARNING
Dangerous electric arcs during internal faults
Defects such as damage to components, overvoltages, or loose parts, as well as exceptional
operating statuses, can cause a failure within the enclosure. This can result in an internal
electric arc. If an electric arc occurs and people are nearby, this could lead to death, serious
physical injury, and damage to property.
● Ensure that only qualified personnel perform work on the drive.
● Observe the safety and operating instructions in this documentation and on labels at the
drive for all work on the drive.
Note
There are no standards for medium-voltage drives stipulating requirements or inspections for
electric arc resistance. There is therefore neither formal guidance provided nor formal
certification available with regard to electric arc resistance.
