Danger to life from electromagnetic fields
Electromagnetic fields (EMF) are generated by the operation of electrical power equipment
such as transformers, converters or motors.
People with pacemakers or implants are at a special risk in the immediate vicinity of these
devices/systems.
• Ensure that the persons involved are the necessary distance away (minimum 2 m).
Danger to life from permanent magnet fields
Even when switched off, electric motors with permanent magnets represent a potential risk
for persons with heart pacemakers or implants if they are close to converters/motors.
• If you are such a person (with heart pacemaker or implant) then keep a minimum
distance of 2 m.
• When transporting or storing permanent magnet motors always use the original packing
materials with the warning labels attached.
• Clearly mark the storage locations with the appropriate warning labels.
• IATA regulations must be observed when transported by air.
Injury caused by moving parts or those that are flung out
Touching moving motor parts or drive output elements and loose motor parts that are flung
out (e.g. feather keys) in operation can result in severe injury or death.
• Remove any loose parts or secure them so that they cannot be flung out.
• Do not touch any moving parts.
• Safeguard all moving parts using the appropriate safety guards.
Danger to life due to fire if overheating occurs because of insufficient cooling
Inadequate cooling can cause overheating resulting in death or severe injury as a result of
smoke and fire. This can also result in increased failures and reduced service lives of
motors.
• Comply with the specified coolant requirements for the motor.
