Carrying out electric work safely
Observe the following information to carry out electrical work safely during installation and maintenance:
- Electrical work may only be carried out by electrically skilled persons.
- Always adhere to the 5 safety rules for working on electrical components:
- Disconnect
- Secure the drive against restart
- Check that no voltage is applied
- Ground and short-circuit it
- Cover or safeguard neighboring live parts
- When the device is switched on, dangerous voltages are present on all power connections as well as on any connected cables and terminals. This also applies even when the product is inhibited and the motor is in an idle state.
- Do not touch live product parts and power connections as the capacitors might be charged.
- Observe a minimum switch-off time of 5 minutes.
- Ensure that the connection boxes are closed and screwed down before applying the supply voltage.
- Ensure that all required covers are mounted before applying the supply voltage.
