General Application Precautions - YASKAWA A1000 Series Quick Start Manual

Install adequate branch circuit protection according to applicable local codes and this Installation Manual. Failure
to comply could result in fire and damage to the drive or injury to personnel.
The device is suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 100,000 RMS symmetrical amperes, 240 Vac
maximum (200 V class) and 480 Vac maximum (400 V class), and 600 Vac maximum (600 V class) when protected by
branch circuit protection devices specified in this document.
Do not use this drive in lifting applications without installing external safety circuitry to prevent accidental dropping
of the load.
The drive does not possess built-in load drop protection for lifting applications.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury from falling loads.
Install electrical and/or mechanical safety circuit mechanisms independent of drive circuitry.
Do not carry the drive by the front cover.
Failure to comply may result in minor or moderate injury from the main body of the drive falling.
Observe proper electrostatic discharge procedures (ESD) when handling the drive and circuit boards. Failure to
comply may result in ESD damage to the drive circuitry.
Do not perform a withstand voltage test or megger test on any part of the drive.
Failure to comply could result in damage to the sensitive devices within the drive.
Do not operate damaged equipment.
Failure to comply could result in further damage to the equipment. Do not connect or operate any equipment with visible
damage or missing parts.
If a fuse is blown or a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is tripped, check the wiring and the selection of the
peripheral devices.
Check for short circuits or ground faults on the secondary side of fuses and GFCIs and check the wiring and the selection of
peripheral devices. Remove the cause of the problem and then turn the power supply off and on again. If the cause cannot
be identified, do not turn on the power supply or attempt to operate the equipment.
Do not restart the drive immediately operate the peripheral devices if a fuse is blown or a GFCI is tripped.
Check the wiring and the selection of peripheral devices to identify the cause. Contact Yaskawa or a Yaskawa representative
before restarting the drive or the peripheral devices if the cause cannot be identified.
Do not expose the drive to halogen group disinfectants.
Failure to comply may cause damage to the electrical components in the drive.
Do not pack the drive in wooden materials that have been fumigated or sterilized. Do not sterilize the entire package after
the product is packed.
