Safety
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE!
Adjustable frequency drives contain high voltage when
connected to AC line power. Installation, start-up, and
maintenance should be performed by qualified
personnel only. Failure to perform installation, start-up,
and maintenance by qualified personnel could result in
death or serious injury.
High Voltage
Adjustable frequency drives are connected to hazardous
AC line voltage. Extreme care should be taken to protect
against shock. Only trained personnel familiar with
electronic equipment should install, start, or maintain this
equipment.
WARNING
UNINTENDED START!
When the adjustable frequency drive is connected to AC
line power, the motor may start at any time. The
adjustable frequency drive, motor, and any driven
equipment must be in operational readiness. Failure to
be in operational readiness when the adjustable
frequency drive is connected to AC line power could
result in death, serious injury, equipment, or property
damage.
Unintended Start
When the adjustable frequency drive is connected to the
AC line power, the motor may be started by means of an
external switch, a serial bus command, an input reference
signal, or a cleared fault condition. Use appropriate
cautions to guard against an unintended start.
WARNING
DISCHARGE TIME!
Adjustable frequency drives contain DC link capacitors
that can remain charged even when the adjustable
frequency drive is not powered. To avoid electrical
hazards, disconnect AC line power, any permanent
magnet type motors, and any remote DC link power
supplies, including battery backups, UPS and DC link
connections to other adjustable frequency drives. Wait
for the capacitors to fully discharge before performing
any service or repair work. The wait time required is
listed in the Discharge Time table. Failure to wait for the
specified period of time after power has been removed
to do service or repair could result in death or serious
injury.
