Safety and Conformity
WARNING
LEAKAGE CURRENT HAZARD
2 2
Leakage currents exceed 3.5 mA. Failure to ground the
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 guide.
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.

2.2 Disposal Instruction

The frequency converter complies with UL 508C thermal
memory retention requirements. For more information
refer to chapter 3.5.1 Motor Thermal Protection.

2.4 CE Labeling

2.4.1 CE Conformity and Labeling
What is CE conformity and labeling?
The purpose of CE labelling is to avoid technical trade
obstacles within EFTA and the EU. The EU has introduced
the CE label as a simple way of showing whether a
product complies with the relevant EU directives. The CE
label says nothing about the specifications or quality of
the product. Frequency converters are regulated by 3 EU
directives:
The Machinery Directive (98/37/EEC)
All machines with critical moving parts are covered by the
machinery directive of January 1, 1995. Since a frequency
converter is largely electrical, it does not fall under the
machinery directive. However, if a frequency converter is
supplied for use in a machine, Danfoss provides
information on safety aspects relating to the frequency
converter. Danfoss does this with a manufacturer's
declaration.
The Low Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC)
Frequency converters must be CE labeled in accordance
with the Low Voltage Directive of January 1, 1997. The
directive applies to all electrical equipment and appliances
used in the 50–1000 V AC and the 75–1500 V DC voltage
ranges. Danfoss CE-labels in accordance with the directive
and issues a declaration of conformity on request.
The EMC Directive (2004/108/EC)
EMC is short for electromagnetic compatibility. The
presence of electromagnetic compatibility means that the
mutual interference between different components/
appliances does not affect the way the appliances work.
The EMC directive came into effect January 1, 1996.
Danfoss CE-labels in accordance with the directive and
issues a declaration of conformity after request. To carry
out EMC-correct installation, see the instructions in this
design guide. In addition, Danfoss specifies which
standards our products comply with. Danfoss offers the
filters presented in the specifications and provide other
types of assistance to ensure the optimum EMC result.
The frequency converter is most often used by profes-
sionals of the trade as a complex component forming part
of a larger appliance, system, or installation. Note that the
responsibility for the final EMC properties of the appliance,
system or installation rests with the installer.
