7.2 Disposal of components with electrical insulation
General
Sort the components for recycling according to whether they are:
● Electronics waste, e.g., sensor electronics
● Iron to be recycled
● Aluminum
● Non-ferrous metal, e.g., worm wheels, motor windings
● Insulating materials
● Oil
Dispose of the spent oil as special waste in accordance with the spent oil ordinance.
● Solvents
● Cleaner solvent
● Paint residues
Do not mix solvents, cleaner solvents and paint residues.
Insulating materials
Electrical insulating materials are primarily used in the stator and in the rotor. Some
supplementary components are made of similar materials and must, therefore, be handled in
the same manner. The following are examples:
● Various insulators which are used in terminals boxes
● Voltage and current transformers
● Electric cables
● Instrument wiring
