General safety and application information
Transport, storage
The notes on transport, storage and appropriate handling must be observed.
Observe the climatic conditions required to EN 50178.
Installation
The capacitor modules must be installed and cooled according to the regulations
given in the corresponding Instructions.
Ensure careful handling and avoid mechanical stress. Do not bend any components
and do not change the insulation distances during transport and handling. Do not
touch any electronic components and contacts.
Capacitor modules contain electrostatic sensitive devices which can easily be da-
maged by inappropriate handling. Do not damage or destroy any electrical compo-
nents since this means hazards for your health!
Electrical connection
When working on live capacitor modules, the valid national regulations for the pre-
vention of accidents (e. g. VBG 4) must be observed.
The electrical installation must be carried out in compliance with the correspon-
ding regulations (e. g. cable cross−sections, fusing, PE connection). Additional infor-
mation can be obtained from the documentation.
The documentation contains notes for EMC−compliant installation (shielding, eart-
hing, filters and cable routing). These notes must also be observed when using CE−
marked capacitor modules. The manufacturer of the system or machine is respon-
sible for the compliance with the limit values required by the EMC legislation.
Operation
If necessary, systems including capacitor modules must be equipped with additio-
nal monitoring and protection devices according to the corresponding safety re-
gulations (e. g. law on technical equipment, regulations for the prevention of acci-
dents). The capacitor module can be adapted to your application. Please observe
the corresponding information given in the documentation.
After the capacitor module has been disconnected from the supply voltage, live
components and power connections must not be touched immediately because
capacitors can be charged. Please observe the corresponding labels on the capaci-
tor module.
All protection covers and doors must be shut during operation.
Note for UL−approved system with integrated capacitor modules:
UL warnings are notes which only apply to UL systems. The documentation con-
tains special UL−related information.
