Five safety rules
When carrying out any kind of work on electrical devices, the "five safety rules" according to
EN 50110 must always be observed:
1. Disconnect the system
2. Protect against reconnection.
3. Make sure that the equipment has zero potential
4. Ground and short-circuit.
5. Cover or fence off adjacent components that are still live.
Before carrying out any maintenance or repair work on the de-energized cabinet unit, wait
for 5 minutes after switching off the supply voltage. This allows the capacitors to discharge
to a harmless level (< 25 V) after the supply voltage has been switched off.
Before starting work, you should also measure the voltage after the 5 minutes have
elapsed. The voltage can be measured on DC link terminals DCP and DCN.
When the external power supply for individual options (L50 / L55) or the external 230 V AC
auxiliary supply is connected, dangerous voltages are still present in the cabinet unit even
when the main circuit breaker is open.
