2.9 Interference voltages when operating the converter
WARNING
Interference voltages when operating the converter
When a converter is in operation, the emitted interference varies in strength depending on
the converter (manufacturer, type, interference suppression measures undertaken). On
machines with integrated sensors (e.g. PTC thermistors), interference voltages caused by
the converter may occur on the sensor lead. This can cause faults which can result in eventual
or immediate death, serious injury or material damage.
Observe the EMC instructions of the converter manufacturer in order to avoid exceeding the
limit values according to IEC/EN 61000-6-3 for drive systems comprising machine and
converter. You must put appropriate EMC measures in place.

WARNING
Interference to electronic devices caused by electrical power equipment
Electrical power equipment generate electric fields during operation. Potentially lethal
malfunctions can occur in medical implants, e.g. pacemakers, in the vicinity of electrical power
equipment. Data may be lost on magnetic or electronic data carriers.
● It is forbidden for people with pacemakers to enter the vicinity of the machine.
● Protect the personnel working in the plant by taking appropriate measures, such as
erecting identifying markings, safety barriers and warning signs and giving safety talks.
● Observe the nationally applicable health and safety regulations.
● Do not carry any magnetic or electronic data media.
