Safety instructions for line filters
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 through electric shock due to the residual charge of the power component
capacitors
Because of the capacitors, a hazardous voltage is present for up to 5 minutes after the
power supply has been switched off.
Contact with live parts can result in death or serious injury.
• Wait for 5 minutes before you check that the unit really is in a no voltage condition and
start work.
Danger to life caused by high leakage currents when the protective conductor in the line
feeder cable is interrupted
The drive components conduct a high leakage current via the protective conductor.
Touching conductive parts when the protective conductor is interrupted can result in death
or serious injury.
• Carefully comply with the applicable regulations for dimensioning the protective
conductor (see Chapter "Protective connection and equipotential bonding (Page 736)").
Risk of burns due to high surface temperatures
The surface of the components can reach high temperatures. You can get seriously burnt
when touching the surface.
• Do not touch the component.
