Influence of electromagnetic fields on active implants
Frequency converters generate electromagnetic fields (EMF) during operation.
Electromagnetic fields can affect active implants, e.g. pacemakers. This puts people with
active implants in the immediate vicinity of an frequency converter at risk.
- As the operator of an EMF-emitting installation, assess the individual risk to persons
with active implants.
Total failure of power supply
Interrupting and restoring the power supply to the control unit can lead to hazardous
situations. In particular, once the power supply has been restored, the system can restart
without additional enabling.
Unintentional or accidental breach of safety
An unintentional or accidental change of the unit's parameters can disable the protective
functions of the control unit.
Unrecognised dangers due to missing or illegible warning signs
Missing or illegible warning signs can lead to hazards going unrecognised. Unrecognised
hazards can result in accidents with serious or fatal injury. See Chapter 4.6 "Warning signs".
Missing signs must be replaced.
Equipment damage due to unsuitable screwing tools
Unsuitable screwing tools or unsuitable screwing methods can damage the screws of the
unit.
- Use screw drives that exactly match the screw head.
- Tighten the screws with the torques specified in the technical documentation.
Material damage due to loose power connections
Insufficient tightening torques or vibrations can lead to loose power connections. This may
cause fire damage, defects in the unit or malfunctions.
- Tighten all power connections to the prescribed tightening torques.
- Check all power connections at regular intervals, especially after transport.
