2.2 Application as directed
Low-voltage machines are not household appliances, but are intended as components
that are only applied for re-use for industrial or professional purposes in terms of
IEC/EN 61000-3-2.
They meet the requirements of the 2014/35/EU Low-Voltage Directive and t he
harmonised standards of the IEC/EN 60034 series.
Low-voltage machines with IP23 protection or less are only intended for outdoor use
when applying special protective features.
The integrated brakes must not be used as safety brakes. It cannot be ruled out that
interference factors which cannot be influenced cause a brake torque reduction.
•Drives
– ... must only be operated under the operating conditions and power limits
specified in this documentation.
– ... comply with the protection requirements of the EU Low-Voltage Directive.
Any other use shall be deemed inappropriate!
2.3 Foreseeable misuse
• Do not operate the motors
– ... in explosion-protected areas
– ... in aggressive environments (acid, gas, vapour, dust, oil)
– ... in water
– ... in radiation environments
Note!
Increased surface and corrosion protection can be achieved by using
adapted coating systems.
2.4 Residual hazards
Protection of persons
• The motor surfaces can become very hot. Danger of burns when touching!
– Provide protection against accidental contact, if necessary.
• Highfrequency voltages can be capacitively transferred to the motor housing
through the inverter supply.
– Earth motor housing carefully.
• Danger of unintentional starting or electrical shocks
– Connections must only be made when the equipment is deenergised and the
motor is at standstill.
– Installed brakes are no fail-safe brakes.
