Safety instructions for inspection and maintenance

Comply with the IEC / EN 6007917 standard or according to the appropriate country
regulations when carrying out all service and maintenance work on the machine.
Explosion hazard due to overheating of the machine caused by a layer of dust
Deposits of dust have a thermal insulation effect, which can lead to the machine overheating.
The maximum surface temperature of the machine cannot be adhered to. The dust can
ignite, resulting in an explosion. This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
• Dust the machine regularly.
• Do not allow dust layers thicker than 5 mm to build up on the machine surface.
• Do not switch the machine on until the dust has been removed.
Risk of explosion due to excessive bearing temperature
The surface temperature cannot be maintained within maximum permissible limits if the
bearing becomes too hot. The dust can ignite, resulting in an explosion. This can result in
death, serious injury or material damage.
• Monitor the bearing temperature.
• In addition to the current-dependent overload protection device located in the three
phases of the connecting cable, we recommend that you also monitor the temperature
rise in the machine using temperature sensors integrated in the stator winding.
Risk of explosion if the permissible axial and radial forces are exceeded
• Carefully comply with the permissible values for axial and radial forces (Page 25).
• For cylindrical rolling bearings, carefully comply with the minimum radial load levels.
• In operation, comply with the permissible vibration values in accordance with ISO 10816-
3.
Risk of explosion as a result of premature bearing failure
• Use insulated bearings if bearing currents occur. Carefully comply with the information in
Chapter Converter operation (Page 46)
• Carefully comply with the specified grease change intervals, relubrication intervals and oil
change intervals.
