10 PREVENTIVE AND CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE
10.6.1 Safety
 ▲ DANGER  ⚠ 
Hazardous voltages!
Before starting to work on the drive, make sure:
• Main and auxiliary power supply to the drive are switched off, 
locked out, and tagged out,
• Drive is de-energized
• Grounding connections are in place
• Personal protective equipment is provided and used when required
• Everyone involved is informed
Before energizing the drive again, make sure:
• All foreign objects are removed from the drive
• All internal and external covers are securely fastened and all doors 
are closed, locked and / or secured (locking bar in locked position)
• Release dials of safety switches are in locked position
• When maintenance on the drive is carried out, such as changing of 
semiconductors, grounding equipment must be connected at the 
appropriate locations. 
The grounding equipment ensures that hazardous voltages cannot 
be fed into the drive, from the main power supply or the motor.
 ▲ WARNING  ⚠ 
Hazardous DC voltage!
Depending on the type of auxiliary supply, the drive can be equipped with 
buffer capacitors inside the control unit. During operation, the capacitor 
voltage is 300 V (DC).
• Wait 5 minutes for the capacitors to discharge.
• Before touching a capacitor, verify that the capacitors 
are discharged.
▲NOTICE   
Foreign matter and particularly metallic dust can cause failure and 
damage when the drive is energized!
Ensure that foreign matter cannot enter the cabinet: 
• Close the doors and cover openings completely when work is 
discontinued. 
• Retrieve any foreign matter which accidentally dropped into the 
cabinet.
