Safety instructions for motor reactors
Danger to life if the fundamental safety instructions and remaining risks are not carefully
observed
If the fundamental safety instructions and remaining risks in Chapter 1 (Page 27) are not
observed, accidents involving severe injuries or death may occur.
• Adhere to the fundamental safety instructions.
• When assessing the risk, take into account residual risks.
Danger to life due to electric shock in the event of missing touch protection
Death or serious injury can result when live parts are touched.
• For the motor reactors, use touch protection according to IPXXA or corresponding to the
local installation regulations.
Fire hazard due to overheating because of inadequate ventilation clearances
Inadequate ventilation clearances can cause overheating with a risk for personnel due to
smoke and fire. This can also result in increased failure rates and a shorter service life of
the components.
• Maintain the 100 mm clearances above and below the components.
Risk of burns due to high surface temperatures
The motor reactors can become very hot. You can get seriously burnt when touching the
surface.
• Mount the motor reactors so that contact is not possible. If this is not possible, attach
clearly visible and understandable warning notices at hazardous positions.
• To prevent adjacent components from suffering damage due to these high
temperatures, maintain a clearance of 100 mm on all sides of the motor reactors.
Damage caused by using incorrect motor reactors
When using motor reactors that have not been approved by Siemens for SINAMICS, the
motor reactors can be damaged.
• Only use motor reactors that SIEMENS has approved for operation with SINAMICS.
