Danger
Start-up/commissioning is absolutely prohibited until it has been completely ensured that the
machine, in which the components described here are to be installed, is in full compliance
with the specifications of Directive 98/37/EC.
Only appropriately qualified personnel may commission SIMODRIVE and SIMOVERT
MASTERDRIVES drive units and the synchronous motors.
This personnel must carefully refer to the technical customer documentation belonging to the
product and be knowledgeable and observe the specified information and instructions on the
hazard and warning labels.
Operational electrical equipment and motors have parts and components which are at
hazardous voltage levels.
When the machine or system is operated, hazardous axis movements can occur.
All of the work carried-out on the electrical machine or system must be carried-out with it in a
no-voltage condition.
SIMODRIVE and SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES drive units have been designed for
operation on low-ohmic grounded line supplies (TN line supplies).
Warning
The successful and safe operation of this equipment and motors is dependent on
professional transport, storage, installation and mounting as well as careful operator control,
service and maintenance.
For special versions of the drive units and motors, information and data in the catalogs and
quotations additionally apply.
In addition to the danger and warning information/instructions in the technical customer
documentation supplied, the applicable domestic, local and plant-specific regulations and
requirements must be carefully taken into account.
Caution
The motors can have surface temperatures of over +100° C.
This is the reason that temperature-sensitive components, e.g. cables or electronic
components may neither be in contact nor be attached to the motor.
When handling cables, please observe the following:
- are not damaged
- are not subject to tensile stress and
- are not touched by rotating components.
