8  6SE6400-5AA00-0BP0  
NOTICE 
♦  Keep these operating instructions within easy reach of the equipment and 
make them available to all users 
♦  Whenever measuring or testing has to be performed on live equipment, the 
regulations of Safety Code VBG 4.0 must be observed, in particular § 8 
"Permissible Deviations when Working on Live Parts”. Suitable electronic tools 
should be used. 
♦  Before installing and commissioning, please read these safety instructions and 
warnings carefully and all the warning labels attached to the equipment. Make 
sure that the warning labels are kept in a legible condition and replace missing 
or damaged labels. 
Transport & Storage 
 
WARNING 
♦  Correct transport, storage, erection and mounting, as well as careful 
operation and maintenance are essential for proper and safe operation of the 
equipment. 
 
 
CAUTION 
♦  Protect the inverter against physical shocks and vibration during transport and 
storage. Also be sure to protect it against water (rainfall) and excessive 
temperatures (see Table 5-1 on page 158). 
Commissioning 
 
WARNING 
♦  Work on the device/system by unqualified personnel or failure to comply with 
warnings can result in severe personal injury or serious damage to material. 
Only suitably qualified personnel trained in the setup, installation, 
commissioning and operation of the product should carry out work on the 
device/system. 
♦  Only permanently-wired input power connections are allowed. This equipment 
must be grounded (IEC 536 Class 1, NEC and other applicable standards). 
♦  If a Residual Current-operated protective Device (RCD) is to be used, it must 
be an RCD type B. Machines with a three phase power supply, fitted with 
EMC filters, must not be connected to a supply via an ELCB (Earth Leakage 
Circuit-Breaker - see DIN VDE 0160, section 5.5.2 and EN50178 section 
5.2.11.1). 
♦  The following terminals can carry dangerous voltages even if the inverter is 
inoperative: 
- the power supply terminals L/L1, N/L2, L3. 
- the motor terminals U, V, W, DC+, DC- 
♦  This equipment must not be used as an ‘emergency stop mechanism’ (see 
EN 60204, 9.2.5.4) 
 
 
CAUTION 
The connection of power, motor and control cables to the inverter must be carried 
out as shown in Fig. 2-8 on page 33, to prevent inductive and capacitive 
interference from affecting the correct functioning of the inverter.
