13 Environmental Compatibility 
Environmental aspects during development 
The number of parts has been reduced substantially by the use of highly integrated components and by a 
modular structure of the complete converter series. This reduces energy consumption during production. 
Particular attention was paid to reducing volume, mass and type diversity of the metal and plastic parts. 
Plastic parts used: 
 
ABS: Front cover 
Fan grille, fan cover (Size C) 
PMU support 
PP: Hinge 
Insulating plate 
Handle 
Bus retrofit 
PC: Size E: 
Protection against accidental contact 
IP20 enclosure 
Insulation of customer connections 
Plastic part of fan box 
PA6: Insulating films 
Terminal housing 
Flame arresters containing halogen and insulating materials containing silicone have been replaced by 
pollutant-free materials in all components. 
Environmental compatibility was an important criterion in the selection of externally source items. 
 
Environmental aspects during production 
Externally sourced items are mainly transported in returnable packaging. The packaging material itself is 
recyclable, consisting mainly of cardboard and untreated wood. 
Except for the hot-dip-galvanized enclosure and tinned rails for size E, H and K, no special surface coatings are 
used. 
SMD components are used on the printed-circuit boards. 
Production is emission-free. 
 
Environmental aspects of disposal 
The unit can be dismantled into recyclable mechanical components by means of easily removable screw and 
snap joints. 
The PC boards can be disposed of thermally. The number of components containing hazardous substances is 
only slight. 
The recyclable plastic parts are designated in accordance with DIN 54840 and marked with the recycling 
symbol.
