Appendix E Environmental Considerations
Hazardous Materials Environmental protection is a top priority for Rockwell Automation. The
facility that manufactured this medium voltage drive operates an
environmental management system that is certified to the requirements of
ISO 14001. As part of this system, this product was reviewed in detail
throughout the development process to ensure that environmentally inert
materials were used wherever feasible. A final review has found this product to
be substantially free of hazardous material.
Rockwell Automation is actively seeking alternatives to potentially hazardous
materials for which no feasible alternatives exist today in the industry. In the
interim, the following precautionary information is provided for your
protection and for the protection of the environment. Please contact the
factory for any environmental information on any material in the drive or with
any general questions regarding environmental impact.
Capacitor Dielectric Fluid
The fluids used in the filter capacitors and the snubber capacitors are generally
considered very safe and are fully sealed within the capacitor housings.
Shipping and handling of this fluid is typically not restricted by environmental
regulations. In the unlikely event that capacitor fluid leaks out, avoid ingestion
or contact with skin or eyes as slight irritation could result. Rubber gloves are
recommended for handling.
To clean up, soak into an absorbent material and discard into an emergency
container, or, if significant leakage occurs, pump fluid directly into the
container. Do not dispose into any drain or into the environment in general or
into general landfill refuse. Dispose of according to local regulations. If
disposing of an entire capacitor, the same disposal precautions should be
taken.
Printed Circuit Boards
Printed circuit boards may contain lead in components and materials. Circuit
boards must be disposed of according to local regulations and must not be
disposed of with general landfill refuse.
Lithium Batteries
This drive contains four small lithium batteries. Three are mounted on the
printed circuit boards and one is located in the PanelView™ user interface.
Each battery contains less than 0.05g of lithium, which is fully sealed within
the batteries. Shipping and handling of these batteries is typically not
restricted by environmental regulations, however, lithium is considered a
hazardous substance. Lithium batteries must be disposed of according to local
regulations and must not be disposed of with general landfill refuse.
Chromate Plating
Some sheet steel and fasteners are plated with zinc and sealed with a
chromate-based dip. Shipping and handling of the chromate plating parts is
typically not restricted by environmental regulations, however, chromate is
considered a hazardous substance. Dispose of chromate plated parts
according to local regulations, not with general landfill refuse.
