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.
• Open the charging switch if present.
• Open the disconnector of the supply transformer. (The main disconnecting device in
the drive cabinet does not disconnect the voltage from the AC input power busbars
of the drive cabinet.)
• Close the grounding switch or switches ([Q9], option +F259) if present. Do not use
excessive force as the switch has electromagnetic interlocking.
• If the drive is equipped with a DC/DC converter unit (optional): Open the DC
switch-disconnector ([Q11], option +F286) of the DC/DC converter. Open the
disconnecting device of the energy storage connected to the DC/DC converter unit
(outside the drive cabinet).
• Open the auxiliary voltage switch-disconnector (if present), and all other possible
disconnecting devices that isolate the drive from dangerous voltage sources.
• 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.
