3.9 Protection against electric shock
Ensuring protection against electric shock when using DA1 variable 
frequency drives, as per IEC/EN 61800-5-1
Manufacturer’s declaration for the initial verification as per
IEC/HD 60364-6
(DIN VDE 0100-600 (VDE 0100-600)) and for periodic testing as per 
EN 50110-1 (DIN VDE 0105-100 (VDE 0105-100))

in accordance with
 
IEC/HD
 
60364-4-41
 
(DIN
 
VDE
 
0100-410
 
(VDE
 
0100-410)) for the output-side circuits of the aforementioned apparatus 
is guaranteed provided that the following requirements are met:
• The installation instructions in this documentation have been observed.
• The applicable standards in the IEC/HD 60364 (DIN VDE 0100 
(VDE 0100) series have been observed.
• The continuity of all associated protective conductors and equipotential 
bonding conductors, including the corresponding connection points, has 
been ensured.
Provided that the above requirements are met, the aforementioned 
apparatus meets the requirements in IEC/HD 60364-4-41
 
(DIN VDE 0100-410 
(VDE 0100-410):2007-06, section 411.3.2.5) when using the “automatic 
power supply shutdown” protective measure.
The note is based on the following information:
In the event of a short-circuit with negligible impedance to a protective 
conductor or to earth, the aforementioned apparatus will reduce the output 
voltage within a time as required in table 41.1 or within 5 seconds – 
depending on the applicable scenario – as per IEC/HD 60364-41
(DIN VDE 0100-410; VDE 0100-410):2007-06).
