WARNING
Electric shock or re if the necessary clearances and creepage distances are not complied
with
When using end sleeves without protective collar, the required clearances and creepage
distances for the DC link adapter (6SL3162-2BD00-0AA0, 6SL3162-2BM01-0AA0) are not
complied with. This can result in ashover between the cables and the undesirable formation
of arcs. As a consequence, there is a risk of electric shock and re.
• Only use DC link connecting cables with end sleeves with protective collars.
WARNING
Fire and device damage as a result of ground fault/short-circuit
The DC link connecting cables must be laid so that a ground fault or short-circuit is impossible.
A ground fault can cause a re with smoke development.
• Comply with local installation regulations, which allow this fault to be ruled out.
• Protect the cables against mechanical damage.
Also implement one of the following measures:
• Use cables with double insulation.
• Maintain adequate clearance, e.g. by using spacers.
• Lay the cables in separate cable ducts or conduits.
WARNING
Fire due to overheating when permissible power cable lengths are exceeded
Excessively long power cable lengths can cause components to overheat with the associated
risk of re and smoke.
• Ensure that the total length of the DC link including the connecting cables does not exceed
10m.
WARNING
Electric shock due to incorrectly laid 24V supply cables
If supply cables are laid without safe electrical separation, the insulation can fail with an electric
shock.
• Maintain a clearance of at least 100mm between the 24V supply cables and the DC link
connecting cables.
• Or use cables with double insulation (e.g. sheathed cables) for the 24V supply cables.
