3.2 Instructions with Regard to Specific Dangers
Protection Against Contact with Electrical Parts
Note: This section only concerns devices and drive components with
voltages of more than 50 Volt.
Contact with parts conducting voltages above 50 Volts can cause
personal danger and electric shock. When operating electrical equipment,
it is unavoidable that some parts of the devices conduct dangerous
voltage.
DANGER
High electrical voltage! Danger to life, electric
shock and severe bodily injury!
Only those trained and qualified to work with or on
electrical equipment are permitted to operate,
maintain and repair this equipment.
Follow general construction and safety regulations
when working on electrical power installations.
Before switching on the device, the equipment
grounding conductor must have been non-
detachably connected to all electrical equipment in
accordance with the connection diagram.
Do not operate electrical equipment at any time,
even for brief measurements or tests, if the
equipment grounding conductor is not permanently
connected to the mounting points of the components
provided for this purpose.
Before working with electrical parts with voltage
potentials higher than 50 V, the device must be
disconnected from the mains voltage or power
supply unit. Provide a safeguard to prevent
reconnection.
With electrical drive and filter components, observe
the following:
Wait 30 minutes after switching off power to allow
capacitors to discharge before beginning to work.
Measure the voltage on the capacitors before
beginning to work to make sure that the equipment is
safe to touch.
Never touch the electrical connection points of a
component while power is turned on.
Install the covers and guards provided with the
equipment properly before switching the device on.
Before switching the equipment on, cover and
safeguard live parts safely to prevent contact with
those parts.
A residual-current-operated circuit-breaker or r.c.d.
cannot be used for electric drives! Indirect contact
must be prevented by other means, for example, by
an overcurrent protective device according to the
relevant standards.
Secure built-in devices from direct touching of
electrical parts by providing an external housing, for
example a control cabinet.
