5.1 Safety instructions for electromagnetic and permanent-magnetic
fields
The following safety instructions on permanent magnets and permanent magnetic fields
apply only to synchronous motors.
Risk of death and crushing as a result of permanent magnet fields
Severe injury and material damage can result if you do not take into consideration the
safety instructions relating to permanent magnet fields.
• Refer to Chapter "Special safety notices for handling built-in motors (Page 19)".
Safety measures for electromagnetic and permanent-magnetic fields
● Observe the relevant nationally applicable health and safety regulations.
● Take measures, e.g. using shields, to reduce electromagnetic fields at their source.
● Keep the motor components in their individual packaging until installation.
● Mark the storage location with the warning and prohibition signs from the following tables.
● Avoid being crushed when handling the rotor core.
● Place the unpacked rotor core on a safe non-magnetic surface. Secure the rotor core with
non-magnetic devices.
● Avoid contact of the rotor core with ferromagnetic objects.
● Use tools made of non-magnetic materials. Ferromagnetic assembly tools must have low
mass.
Attaching warning signs
Any danger areas must be identified by well visible warning and prohibition signs
(pictograms) in the immediate vicinity of the danger.
Note
The text for the warning signs should be written in the language of the country of use.
