1.1.4

Residual risks of power drive systems

The control and drive components of a drive system are approved for industrial and commercial
use in industrial line supplies. Their use in public line supplies requires a different configuration
and/or additional measures.
These components may only be operated in closed housings or in higher-level control cabinets
with protective covers that are closed, and when all of the protective devices are used.
These components may only be handled by qualified and trained technical personnel who are
knowledgeable and observe all of the safety instructions on the components and in the
associated technical user documentation.
