Safety information

1.1 Safety and application information

The safe use of electric motors
Danger
These electric motors are designed for use in industrial high-voltage installations. Rotating or
live and uninsulated parts pose a danger.
There is consequently a risk of fatal or severe personal injury or substantial damage to
property if the necessary covers are removed without authorization or if the equipment is
handled improperly, operated incorrectly or maintained inadequately.
If the motors are used outside industrial areas, the installation site must be safeguarded
against unauthorized access by means of suitable protection facilities (e.g. fencing) and
appropriate warning signs.
The persons responsible for the safety of the system are under an obligation to ensure that:
• the basic planning work for the system and all work relating to transportation, assembly,
installation, commissioning, maintenance and repairs are carried out by qualified persons
and checked by responsible, suitably skilled persons.
• these instructions and the motor documentation are made available at all times while
work is in progress.
• the technical data and specifications relating to the permissible installation, connection,
ambient and operating conditions are taken into account at all times.
• the system-specific erection and safety regulations are observed and personal protective
gear is used.
• work on these motors, or in the vicinity of these motors, by unqualified persons is
prohibited.
These instructions therefore only contain the information which is necessary for the motors
to be used by qualified persons in accordance with their intended purpose.
Note
We recommend engaging the support and services of your local Siemens service center for
all planning, installation, commissioning and maintenance work.
