The following markings have the function:
• Use of proven components
• Suitable for the intended use
• The occurrence of a fault can result in the loss of the safety function.
The probability of a fault occurring is reduced as far as possible by the use of forced contacts. The
use of a single circuit in conjunction with undervoltage release achieves compliance with safety
category 1 to EN 954-1.

Protection function of ground fault detection

The entire power unit is isolated. An insulation fault alone will not normally impair operation.
However, in the event of such a fault, the voltage of the other two phases increases with respect
to ground. In the medium term, this rise in voltage can result in damage. An additional error can
cause a short-circuit.
Danger when operating with ground fault
The type and location of the fault cannot be established just from a ground fault error message.
For example, the glow discharge in the machine's coil end may be the cause of the fault
message. In the event of continued operation, serious aftereffects (all the way up to electric
arcs) are possible. This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
• If a ground fault is experienced during converter operation, the converter must be switched
• The plant operating company is responsible for the consequences, if the converter is still
