2.5 Electromagnetic fields in electrical power engineering installations

Touching hot surfaces can cause burns to the skin.
● Do not touch the roof panel even after the device has been shut down.
● Always take the appropriate precautions before touching any parts and components.
Risk of injury at places that are difficult to access
If you do not use appropriate protective equipment when working in places that are difficult to
access you are at risk of injury. For example, sharp edges and splinters can cause injuries to
the head and skin. If you carry out work in the upper section using unsuitable ladders or similar,
you can fall and injure yourself.
● Use appropriate protective equipment, especially a hard hat and gloves.
● Use suitable steps or ladders when working in the upper area.
Eye and skin injuries caused by deionized water
Deionized water is harmful to eyes and skin and can damage surfaces.
● Therefore, use appropriate protective clothing when you carry out any work on the drive.
● If deionized water leaks out, eliminate the source of the problem and remove the liquid from
● Please refer to the EU safety data sheet of the coolant manufacturer.
Shutdown as a result of an incorrect residual current monitoring device
If you use a residual current monitoring device (RCD), it is possible that the residual current
monitoring device will trip in error (nuisance trip). The converter may be switched off as a result
of the protection device tripping in error.
● To minimize the risk of faulty trips, use a type-B RCD.
2.5 Electromagnetic fields in electrical power engineering installations
Electromagnetic fields are generated during operation of electrical power engineering
installations. Electromagnetic fields can interfere with electronic devices, These devices can
malfunction if electromagnetic fields are present.
Interference with pacemakers
The functioning of cardiac pacemakers could be impaired by electromagnetic fields. Death or
serious physical injury can result.
● It is therefore not permissible for people with pacemakers to stand close to the device.

However, if your eyes or skin do come into contact with deionized water, rinse the affected
area thoroughly with tap water as soon as possible.
