Excessively high supply voltage 
Material damage can occur if the supply voltage is too high for the insulation system. 
SIMOTICS machines can be operated with SINAMICS G converters and SINAMICS S 
converters (uncontrolled and controlled infeed) when maintaining the permissible peak 
voltages.  
Carefully observe the values in the following tables. 
Rise times t
r
 > 0.1 µs. 
The insulation system of SIMOTICS machines corresponds to the specifications laid down 
in IEC 60034-18-41 according to voltage stress category C (IVIC C = high stress).
