Safety Notes - Siemens SINAMICS G120P Hardware Installation Manual

Safety notes

It has to be ensured by the machine manufacturer, that the line-side overcurrent protection
equipment interrupts within 5 s (immovable equipment and modules in immovable
equipment) in the case of minimum fault current (current on complete insulation failure to
accessible conductive parts that are not live during operation and maximum current loop
resistance).
The machine manufacturer must ensure that the voltage drop between the main power
supply and the power drive system, during operation, does not exceed 1 % (UK < 1 %).
General
This equipment controls potentially dangerous rotating mechanical parts.
Protection in case of direct contact by means of voltages < 60 V (PELV = Protective Extra
Low Voltage acc. to EN 61800-5-1) is only permissible in areas with equipotential bonding
and in dry indoor rooms. If these conditions are not fulfilled, other protective measures
against electric shock must be applied e.g. protective insulation.
The converter must always be grounded.
Install the converter on a metal mounting plate in a control cabinet. The mounting plate has
to be unpainted and with a good electrical conductivity.
It is strictly prohibited for any mains disconnection to be performed on the motor-side of the
system, if the converter is in operation and the output current is not zero.
Take particular notice of the general and regional installation and safety regulations
regarding work on dangerous voltage installations (e.g. 61800-5-1) as well as the relevant
regulations regarding the correct use of tools and personal protective equipment (PPE).
Static discharges on surfaces or interfaces (e.g. terminal or connector pins) can cause
malfunctions or defects. Therefore, when working with converters or converter components,
ESD protective measures should be observed.
Dangerous voltage!
Hazardous voltage is still present for up to 5 minutes after the power supply has been
switched off. Do not to carry out any installation work before this time has expired!
