Safety instructions 15
Possible residual risks
The following risks can arise from a 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.
• 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 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 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 drive system components due to, for
example:
• Incorrect disposal of components.
