2. COMMISSIONING AND USE

2.1 Safety

Servodrives present two main types of hazard :
- Electrical hazard
Servoamplifiers may contain non-insulated live AC or DC components. Users are
advised to guard against access to live parts before installing the equipment.
Even after the electrical panel is de-energized, voltages may be present for more
than a minute, until the power capacitors have had time to discharge.
Specific features of the installation need to be studied to prevent any accidental
contact with live components :
- Connector lug protection ;
- Correctly fitted protection and earthing features ;
- Workplace insulation (enclosure insulation humidity, etc.).
General recommendations :

Check the bonding circuit;

Lock the electrical cabinets;

Use standardised equipment.
- Mechanical hazard
Servomotors can accelerate in milliseconds. Moving parts must be screened off to
prevent operators coming into contact with them. The working procedure must
allow the operator to keep well clear of the danger area.
All assembly and commissioning work must be done by qualified personnel who
are familiar with the safety regulations (C18510 authorization, standard VDE
0105 or IEC 0364).
