Electrical Safety Precautions - ABB ACS880-07 User Manual

10 Safety instructions
Only a qualified electrical professional who has sufficient knowledge about functional,
machine, and process safety is permitted to install, start up and maintain the safety circuit.
All user-made changes are on the user's responsibility.
WARNING!
The safety function described in this manual does not isolate the main circuit or
auxiliary circuit from the power supply. Do not do work on the drive, motor cable
or motor before you have isolated the drive system from all power supplies and
measured that there are no dangerous voltages. Before you start the work, do the
steps in section
WARNING!
Always test the operation of the safety circuit according to its acceptance test
procedure at the start-up and after any changes to the safety circuit.
WARNING!
Obey the safety instructions of the drive. If you ignore them, injury or death, or
damage to the equipment can occur.
If you are not a qualified electrical professional, do not do installation or
maintenance work.

Electrical safety precautions

These electrical safety precautions are for all personnel who do work on the drive, motor
cable or motor.
WARNING!
Obey these instructions. If you ignore them, injury or death, or damage to the
equipment can occur.
If you are not a qualified electrical professional, do not do installation or
maintenance work.
Go through these steps before you begin any installation or maintenance work.
1. Clearly identify the work location and equipment.
2. Disconnect all possible voltage sources. Make sure that re-connection is not possible.
Lock out and tag out.
• Open the main disconnecting device of the drive.
• If you have a permanent magnet motor connected to the drive, disconnect the motor
from the drive with a safety switch or by other means.
• Disconnect all dangerous external voltages from the control circuits.
• After you disconnect power from the drive, always wait 5 minutes to let the
intermediate circuit capacitors discharge before you continue.
3. Protect any other energized parts in the work location against contact.
4. Take special precautions when close to bare conductors.
