Possible residual risks

5k A UM
The following risks can arise from a drive system and pose a hazard to
people. These risks must therefore be taken into account by the system
integrator and / or the plant owner when assessing the risks of the
machinery.
■ Electric power equipment generates electro-magnetic fields which
can cause a hazard to people with metal implants and / or a
pacemaker.
■ Drive system components can move unintentionally when being
commissioned, operated, or serviced due to, for example:
■ Operation of the equipment outside the scope of the specifica-
tions
■ Incorrectly assembled or installed equipment
■ Wrongly connected cables
■ External influence on, or damage of the equipment
■ Wrong parameter settings
■ Software errors
■ Faulty hardware
■ Hazardous touch voltages can be present on drive system
components caused by, for example:
■ Operation of the equipment outside the scope of the specifica-
tions
■ External influence on, or damage of the equipment
■ Induced voltages by external equipment
■ Condensation on equipment components, or pollution
■ Faulty hardware
■ High temperatures, noise, particles, or gases can be emitted from
drive system components caused by, for example:
■ Operation of the equipment outside the scope of the specifica-
tions
■ External influence on, or damage of the equipment
■ Wrong parameter settings
■ Software errors
■ Faulty hardware
■ Hazardous substances can be emitted from drive system
components due to, for example:
■ Incorrect disposal of components
