Observe Chapter, "Safety instructions" when carrying out any work at the converter.
4.1 Requirements for installation location
The cabinet units are suitable for installation in general operating areas (to 
DIN EN 60146-1-1 / VDE 558 T11 and DIN EN 50178 / VDE 0160 (IEC 62103), degree of 
contamination 2; without conducted contamination). For this reason, SINAMICS devices must 
be protected in such a way that they cannot be touched directly when they are being installed 
in general operating areas.
The operating areas must be dry and free of dust. The air supplied must not contain any 
electrically conductive gas, vapors, or dust which could impair operation.
For information about permissible ambient and installation conditions, see the "Technical 
specifications" section.
