1.3.1.2.1.1 Notes about choosing the supply voltage
The indicated minimal supply voltage of 8 V is enough to power on the servo drive for configuration but
for turning a motor, a voltage above 12 V is required.

may be necessary.
1.3.1.2.1.2 Using a PELV or SELV power supply
It’s recommended to use a protected extra-low voltage supply (PELV) instead of a safety extra-low voltage
supply (SELV).
If a SELV is used, it’s possible that the isolation from the earth can be violated through our drive (e.g.
through heatsink or mechanical mountings) and the supply becomes PELV.
