Design Guide
UNINTENDED START
When the frequency converter is connected to AC mains,
DC power supply, or load sharing, the motor may start at
any time. Unintended start during programming, service,
or repair work can result in death, serious injury, or
property damage. The motor can start by means of an
external switch, a serial bus command, an input
reference signal from the LCP, or after a cleared fault
condition.
To prevent unintended motor start:
DISCHARGE TIME
The frequency converter contains DC-link capacitors,
which can remain charged even when the frequency
converter is not powered. Failure to wait the specified
time after power has been removed before performing
service or repair work, can result in death or serious
injury.
LEAKAGE CURRENT HAZARD
Leakage currents exceed 3.5 mA. Failure to ground the
frequency converter properly can result in death or
serious injury.
