 2.3 Residual risks

2.3 Residual risks

Health risks arising from the PacDrive Servo Amplifier have been reduced. However
a residual risk remains, since the PacDrive Servo Amplifier works with electrical volt‐
age and electrical currents.

If activities involve residual risks, a safety message is made at the appropriate points.
This includes the potential hazard that may arise and their possible consequences,
and describes preventive measures to avoid the hazard. The following are typical
warnings concerning residual risks which cannot be assigned to a specific action. The
structure of safety labels is identical to that of safety information.

2.3.1 Electrical parts

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH

resistance in high-current electrical systems (500 Vdc)

Insulation testing and voltage testing are carried out with direct current in the PacDrive
MC-4. The devices have internal bypass capacitors against PE. Retesting is thus not
necessary.
However, should circumstances arise which make additional testing necessary, con‐
duct the testing of the PacDrive MC-4 with direct current or direct voltage. As per the
DIN EN 50178:1997 standard, the insulation resistance test and voltage testings can
also be carried out with direct voltage.
If you perform tests with alternating current or alternating voltage (50 / 60 Hz) on con‐
nected PacDrive MC-4 devices, a diagnosis message on the testing device appears.
This is why you have to disconnect all MC-4 devices while testing entire systems or
machines with alternating current or voltage.
