8 Maintenance 
WARNING 
The rectifier/regenerating units are operated with high voltages. 
All work on the unit must be carried out in agreement with the national electrical regulations 
(in Germany: VBG 4). 
Maintenance and repair work must only be carried out by qualified personnel. 
Use must only be made of the spare parts approved by the manufacturer. 
It is imperative to observe the prescribed maintenance intervals and the repair and 
replacement instructions. 
As the result of the dc link capacitors in the connected SIMOVERT Master Drives, the unit 
still contains a hazardous voltage up to 5 min. after isolation (power terminal and electronic 
power supply). This is why it is only permitted to open the unit after observing an 
appropriate waiting time. 
Even after isolation of the cable terminals and discharge of the DC link, the snubber 
capacitors remain charged if the trigger modules A23 are separated. 
The power and control terminals may still be live even in the event of motor standstill. 
Despite disconnecting the power terminals from the supply, terminal X19 may still be live 
due to the external fan supply. 
 
If work on the activated unit is necessary: 
♦  do not touch any live parts. 
♦  use only proper measuring equipment and protective work clothing. 
♦  stand or sit on an unearthed and isolated surface that does justice to ESD 
requirements. 
Non-observance of warning notices can result in death, severe personal injury or 
considerable property damage. 
 
You should know the order and factory numbers of your unit when consulting the service department. You will 
find these numbers and other important data on the rating plate of the unit. 
 
8.1 Maintenance recommendations

ambient temperature of T
A 
= 40 °C. To guarantee the  availability of the unit at all times, the fans must be 
replaced in good time.
