General Safety In Installation, Start-Up And Maintenance - ABB ACS880-07 Series Hardware Manual

16 Safety instructions

General safety in installation, start-up and maintenance

These instructions are for all personnel who do work on the drive.
WARNING!
Obey these instructions. If you ignore them, injury or death, or damage to the
equipment can occur.
• Keep the drive in its package until you install it. After unpacking, protect the drive from
dust, debris and moisture.
• Use the required personal protective equipment: safety shoes with metal toe cap, safety
glasses, protective gloves and long sleeves, etc. Some parts have sharp edges.
• Lift a heavy drive with a lifting device. Use the designated lifting points. See the dimension
drawings.
• Incorrect lifting can cause danger or damage. Obey the local laws and regulations
applicable to lifting, such as requirements for planning the lift, for capacity and condition
of lifting equipment, and for training of personnel.
• Attach the drive cabinet to the floor to prevent it from toppling over. The cabinet has a
high center of gravity. When you pull out heavy components or power modules, there is
a risk of overturning. Attach the cabinet also to the wall when necessary.
• Do not stand or walk on the cabinet roof. Make sure that nothing presses against the
roof, side or back plates or door. Do not store anything on the roof while the drive is in
operation.
• Beware of hot surfaces. Some parts, such as heatsinks of power semiconductors, and
brake resistors, remain hot for a while after disconnection of the electrical supply.
• Vacuum clean the area around the drive before the start-up to prevent the drive cooling
fan from drawing the dust inside the drive.
• Make sure that debris from drilling, cutting and grinding does not enter the drive during
the installation. Electrically conductive debris inside the drive may cause damage or
malfunction.
• Make sure that there is sufficient cooling. See the technical data.
• Keep the cabinet doors closed when the drive is powered. With the doors open, a risk
of a potentially fatal electric shock, arc flash or high-energy arc blast exists. If you cannot
avoid working on a powered drive, obey the local laws and regulations on live working
(including – but not limited to – electric shock and arc protection).
