Possible residual risks
The following risks can arise from a bypass - drive system and pose a hazard to people.
These risks must therefore be taken into account by the system integrator and / or the
plant owner when assessing the risks of the machinery.
•
Electric power equipment generates electro-magnetic fields which can cause a hazard
to people with metal implants and / or a pacemaker.
•
Bypass - drive system components can move unintentionally when being
commissioned, operated, or serviced due to, for example:
•
Operation of the equipment outside the scope of the specifications.
•
Incorrectly assembled or installed equipment.
•
Wrongly connected cables.
•
External influence on, or damage of the equipment.
•
Wrong parameter settings.
•
Software errors.
•
Faulty hardware.
•
Hazardous touch voltages can be present on bypass - drive system components
caused by, for example:
•
Operation of the equipment outside the scope of the specifications.
•
External influence on, or damage of the equipment.
•
Induced voltages by external equipment (e.g. induced voltage from a spinning
rotor).
•
Condensation on equipment components, or pollution.
•
Faulty hardware.
•
High temperatures, noise, particles, or gases can be emitted from bypass - drive
system components caused by, for example:
•
Operation of the equipment outside the scope of the specifications.
•
External influence on, or damage of the equipment.
•
Wrong parameter settings.
•
Software errors.
•
Faulty hardware.
•
Hazardous substances can be emitted from bypass - drive system components due to,
for example:
•
Incorrect disposal of components.
