Safety notices
DANGER
• Commissioning must not start until you have ensured that the machine in which the
components described here are to be installed complies with Directive 98/37/EC.
• SINAMICS devices and AC motors may only be commissioned by suitably qualified
personnel.
• The personnel must take into account the information provided in the technical customer
documentation for the product, and be familiar with and observe the specified danger
and warning notices.
• When electrical equipment and motors are operated, the electrical circuits automatically
conduct a dangerous voltage.
• Dangerous mechanical movements are possible during system operations.
• All the work carried-out on the electrical machine or system must be carried-out with it in
a no-voltage condition.
• SINAMICS devices with AC motors may only be connected to the power supply via an
AC-DC residual-current-operated device with selective switching once verification has
been provided that the SINAMICS device is compatible with the residual-current-
operated device in accordance with EN 50178, Chapter 5.2.11.2.
WARNING
• The successful and safe operation of this equipment and motors is dependent on
professional transport, storage, installation and mounting as well as careful operations ,
service and maintenance.
• Information and data from the catalogs and quotations also apply to special versions of
the equipment and motors.
• In addition to the danger and warning information provided in the technical customer
documentation, the applicable national, local, and plant-specific regulations and
requirements must be taken into account.
• Only protective extra-low voltages (PELV) that comply with EN60204-1 may be
connected to all connections and terminals between 0 and 48 V.
CAUTION
• The motors can have surface temperatures of over +80 °C.
• This is why temperature-sensitive components, e.g. cables or electronic components
must not be in contact with or attached to the motor.
• When connecting up cables, please ensure that they
– are not damaged
– are not subject to tensile stress
– cannot be touched by rotating components.
