Hazardous Materials
Environmental protection is a top priority for Rockwell Automation. The facility
that manufactured this medium voltage product operates an environmental
management system that is certified to the requirements of ISO 14001. As part of
this system, this product was reviewed in detail throughout the development
process to ensure that environmentally inert materials were used wherever
feasible. A final review has found this product to be substantially free of
hazardous material.
Please be assured that Rockwell Automation is actively seeking alternatives to
potentially hazardous materials for which no feasible alternatives exist today in
the industry. In the interim, the following precautionary information is provided
for your protection and for the protection of the environment. Please contact the
factory for any environmental information on any material in the product or with
any general questions regarding environmental impact.
Capacitor Dielectric Fluid
The fluids used in the snubber capacitors are generally considered very safe and
are fully sealed within the capacitor housings. Shipping and handling of this fluid
are typically not restricted by environmental regulations. In the unlikely event
that capacitor fluid leaks out, avoid ingestion or contact with skin or eyes as slight
irritation could result. Rubber gloves are recommended for handling.
To clean up, soak into an absorbent material and discard into an emergency
container. Do not dispose into any drain or into the environment in general or
into general landfill refuse. Dispose of according to local regulations. If disposing
of an entire capacitor, the same disposal precautions should be taken.
