Safe Handling - Siemens SINAMICS SM150 Operating Instructions Manual

Safety instructions

2.4 Safe handling

3. Verify absence of operating voltage.
4. Ground and short-circuit.
5. Provide protection against adjacent live parts.
To energize the system, apply the measures in reverse order.
2.4 Safe handling
Electric shock from external supplies
Even if the circuit breaker is open, parts of the drive can be under voltage (live) as a result of
the auxiliary voltage at the premagnetization, precharging or demagnetization transformers.
This danger is not limited to the drive, but can also occur with components that are electrically
connected to the drive (e.g. circuit breakers or isolators). Touching live parts can result in death,
serious injury and material damage
● Isolate all components that can feed voltage to the drive before commencing work.
Electric shock due to high voltages in operation
When operating this equipment very high voltages develop. Even after switching off the mains
voltage, or while the connected machine is still turning, high voltages can remain for a
prolonged length of time. High voltages can cause death or serious injury if the safety rules are
not observed or if the equipment is handled incorrectly.
● Operate the device properly.
● Always follow the "The five safety rules (Page 15)" when performing any work.
● Service and maintain the device regularly and correctly.
Electric shock due to induced voltage
Rotating machinery can induce dangerous high voltages and synchronous motors that are not
de-excited immediately can also pose a hazard. If the connection to the motor is not isolated or
grounded, these voltages can also remain. Touching live parts can result in death or serious
injury.
● Before opening the doors, wait until the connected machine has come to a standstill.
Electric shock at DC link capacitors
High voltages are still present at the DC link capacitors even after shutdown. Touching live
parts can result in death or serious injury.
● A label specifies the discharge times of the DC link capacitors. Only open the doors once
● Observe the five safety rules when performing any work.
16
these discharge times have elapsed.
