Danger and warning information 
 
 
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/start-up the SINAMICS units and  
the motors. 
This personnel must carefully observe the technical customer documentation associated with 
this product and be knowledgeable about and carefully observe the danger and warning 
information. 
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. 
SINAMICS units are generally designed for operation on low-resistance, grounded power 
supply networks (TN systems). For additional information please refer to the appropriate 
documentation for the drive converter systems.
