Chapter 1 - Safety
1.3 Possible residual risks
The following risks can arise from a drive system and pose a hazard to
people. These risks must therefore be taken into account by the system
integrator and / or the plant owner when assessing the risks of the
machinery.
• Electric power equipment generates electro-magnetic fields which
can cause a hazard to people with metal implants and / or a
pacemaker.
• Drive system components can move unintentionally when being
commissioned, operated, or serviced due to, for example:
• Operation of the equipment outside the scope of the
specifications
• Incorrectly assembled or installed equipment
• Incorrectly connected cables
• External influence on, or damage to the equipment
• Wrong parameter settings
• Software errors
• Faulty hardware
• Hazardous voltages can be present on drive system components
caused by, for example:
• Operation of the equipment outside the scope of the
specifications
• External influence on, or damage to the equipment
• Induced voltages by external equipment
• Condensation on equipment components, or pollution
• Faulty hardware
• High temperatures, noise, particles, or gases can be emitted from
drive system components caused by, for example:
• Operation of the equipment outside the scope of the
specifications
• External influence on, or damage to the equipment
• Wrong parameter settings
• Software errors
• Faulty hardware
• Hazardous substances can be emitted from drive system
components due to, for example:
• Incorrect disposal of components
