8 Introduction to the manual
WARNING! (With permanent magnet motors only) In case of a multiple IGBT
power semiconductor failure, the inverter system can produce an alignment
torque which maximally rotates the motor shaft by 180/p degrees regardless of
the activation of the Safe torque off function. p denotes the number of pole pairs.
WARNING! Read and obey all safety instructions in the drive hardware manual.
If you ignore them, injury or death, or damage to the equipment can occur.
