connected to AC mains input 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
Frequency converters are connected to hazardous mains
voltages. 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 drive is connected to AC mains, the motor may
start at any time. The drive, motor, and any driven
equipment must be in operational readiness. Failure to be
in operational readiness when the drive is connected to AC
mains could result in death, serious injury, equipment, or
property damage.
Unintended Start
When the drive is connected to the AC mains, 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!
Frequency converters contain DC link capacitors that can
remain charged even when AC mains is disconnected. To
avoid electrical hazards, remove AC mains from the drive
before doing any service or repair and wait the amount of
time specified in Table 1.1. Failure to wait the specified
time after power has been removed prior to doing service
or repair on the unit could result in death or serious injury.
