Electrical safety - general warning

The voltages used in the drive can cause severe electrical shock and/or burns, and could be lethal.
Extreme care is necessary at all times when working with or adjacent to the drive. Specific warnings
are given at the relevant places in this guide.
1.3

System design and safety of personnel

The drive is intended as a component for professional incorporation into complete equipment or a
system. If installed incorrectly, the drive may present a safety hazard.
The drive uses high voltages and currents, carries a high level of stored electrical energy, and is used
to control equipment which can cause injury.
Close attention is required to the electrical installation and the system design to avoid hazards either
in normal operation or in the event of equipment malfunction. System design, installation,
commissioning/start-up and maintenance must be carried out by personnel who have the necessary
training and experience. They must read this safety information and this guide carefully.
The STOP and Safe Torque Off functions of the drive do not isolate dangerous voltages from the
output of the drive or from any external option unit. The supply must be disconnected by an approved
electrical isolation device before gaining access to the electrical connections.
With the sole exception of the Safe Torque Off function, none of the drive functions must be
used to ensure safety of personnel, i.e. they must not be used for safety-related functions.
Careful consideration must be given to the functions of the drive which might result in a hazard,
either through their intended behavior or through incorrect operation due to a fault. In any application
where a malfunction of the drive or its control system could lead to or allow damage, loss or injury, a
risk analysis must be carried out, and where necessary, further measures taken to reduce the risk -
for example, an over-speed protection device in case of failure of the speed control, or a fail-safe
mechanical brake in case of loss of motor braking.
The Safe Torque Off function may be used in a safety-related application. The system designer is
responsible for ensuring that the complete system is safe and designed correctly according to the
relevant safety standards.
1.4

Environmental limits

Instructions in this guide regarding transport, storage, installation and use of the drive must be
complied with, including the specified environmental limits. Drives must not be subjected to
excessive physical force.
