Disposal
Motors must be disposed of carefully taking into account domestic and local regulations in
the normal recycling process or by returning to the manufacturer.
The following must be taken into account when disposing of the motor:
● Oil according to the regulations for disposing of old oil (e.g. gear oil when a gearbox is
● Not mixed with solvents, cold cleaning agents of remains of paint
● Components that are to be recycled should be separated according to:
Danger and warning information
Commissioning is absolutely prohibited until it has been completely ensured that the
machine, in which the components described here are to be installed, is in full compliance
with the provisions of the EC Machinery Directive.
Only appropriately qualified personnel may commission the SINAMICS units and the
motors.
This personnel must carefully observe the technical customer documentation associated
with this product and be familiar with and carefully observe the danger and warning
information.
Operational electrical equipment and motors have parts and components which are at
hazardous voltage levels.
When the machine or system is operated, hazardous axis movements can occur.
All of the work carried out on the electrical machine or system must be carried out with it in
a no-voltage condition.
In combination with the drive system, the motors are generally approved for operation on
TN and TT systems with grounded neutral and on IT systems.
In operation on IT systems, the occurrence of a first fault between an active part and
ground must be signaled by a monitoring device. In accordance with IEC 60364-4-41 it is
recommended that the first fault should be eliminated as quickly as practically possible.
In systems with a grounded external conductor, an isolating transformer with grounded
neutral (secondary side) must be connected between the supply and the drive system to
protect the motor insulation from excessive stress. The majority of TT systems have a
grounded external conductor, so in this case an isolating transformer must be used.
