Safety
WARNING
DISCHARGE TIME
The frequency converter contains DC-link capacitors,
which can remain charged even when the frequency
converter is not powered. High voltage can be present
even when the warning LED indicator lights are off.
Failure to wait the specified time after power has been
removed before performing service or repair work can
result in death or serious injury.
•
Stop the motor.
•
Disconnect AC mains and remote DC-link power
supplies, including battery back-ups, UPS, and
DC-link connections to other frequency
converters.
•
Disconnect or lock PM motor.
•
Wait for the capacitors to discharge fully. The
minimum duration of waiting time is specified
in Table 2.1.
•
Before performing any service or repair work,
use an appropriate voltage measuring device to
make sure that the capacitors are fully
discharged.

WARNING
UNEXPECTED ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
®
Parts of the VLT Plus Panel can still be powered when
the frequency converter is switched off. Solely removing
the fuses, or switching the mains disconnect do not
®
switch the VLT Plus Panel off. A contactor is not a safe
disconnection method, when any manipulation in the
panel or at the frequency converter is performed.
•
Always follow the local technical and safety
rules.
•
Do not use contactors for safe disconnect.
•
Always use a voltage meter to make sure that
any parts are voltage-free before touching
them.
•
®
Access to the VLT
and operation is allowed for qualified personnel
only.

WARNING
LEAKAGE CURRENT HAZARD
Leakage currents exceed 3.5 mA. Failure to ground
frequency converter properly can result in death or
serious injury.
•
Ensure the correct grounding of the equipment
by a certified electrical installer.
WARNING
EQUIPMENT HAZARD
Contact with rotating shafts and electrical equipment
can result in death or serious injury.
•
Ensure that only trained and qualified personnel
perform installation, start-up, and maintenance.
•
Ensure that electrical work conforms to national
and local electrical codes.
•
Follow the procedures in this manual.
WARNING
UNINTENDED MOTOR ROTATION
WINDMILLING
Unintended rotation of permanent magnet motors
creates voltage and can charge the unit, resulting in
death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
•
Ensure that permanent magnet motors are
blocked to prevent unintended rotation.
CAUTION
INTERNAL FAILURE HAZARD
An internal failure in the frequency converter can result
in serious injury, when the frequency converter is not
properly closed.
•
Ensure that all safety covers are in place and
securely fastened before applying power.
To run STO, additional wiring for the frequency converter is
®
required. Refer to VLT Frequency Converters Safe Torque Off
Operating Instructions for further information.
