Safety Instructions

General warning: this symbol warns you of non- electrical risks and dangers which may result in seri- ous or even fatal injury to persons and/or in damage to equipment. Where appropriate, the text printed ad- jacent to this symbol describes how risks of this kind may be avoided.

When thyristor power converters are in use, the electric motors, power transmission elements and the driven machines are work- ing in an extended operating range, which means they have to cope with a relatively high loading.

You should have made sure that all units, devices and appli- ances used are actually suitable for this higher loading.

If you have to operate the thyristor power converter at a rated motor voltage and/or a rated motor current significantly below the figures stated in the thyristor power converter's output data, you must take appropriate precautionary measures to protect the unit against overspeed, overload, breakage, etc., by modifying the software or hardware appropriately.

For insulation testing, you must disconnect all cables from the thyristor power converter. You should avoid operating your unit at values other than the rated data. Non-compliance with these instructions may cause lasting damage to the thyristor power converter.

The thyristor power converter possesses a number of automatic reset functions. When these functions are executed, the unit will be reset after an error and will then resume operation. These functions should not be used if other units and devices are not suitable for an operating mode of this kind, or if their use might entail dangerous situations.

Warning of electrostatic discharge:

this symbol warns you against electrostatic discharges which may damage the unit. Where appropriate, the text printed next to this symbol describes how a risk of this kind may be avoided.
