Safety and operating instructions

1.1

General terms

Warning:

During assembly, testing, and operation, the evaluation board poses several inherent

hazards, including bare wires, moving or rotating parts, and hot surfaces.

Danger:

There is a danger of serious personal injury, property damage, or death due to electrical

shock and burn hazards if the kit or components are improperly used or installed incorrectly.

Attention:

The kit is not electrically isolated from the high-voltage supply DC input. No insulation is ensured between the

accessible parts and the high voltage. All measuring equipment must use adequately insulated probes, clamps,

and connecting wires. Never touch the evaluation board while it is energized as it is capable of causing an

electrical shock hazard.

Important:

All operations involving transportation, installation and use, and maintenance must be performed by skilled

technical personnel able to understand and implement national accident prevention regulations. For the

purposes of these basic safety instructions, “skilled technical personnel” are suitably qualified people who are

familiar with the installation, use, and maintenance of power electronic systems.

1.2

Intended use of evaluation board

The evaluation board is designed for demonstration purposes only, and must not be used for electrical

installations or machinery. Technical data and information concerning the power supply conditions are detailed in

the documentation and should be strictly observed.

1.3

Installing the evaluation board

•

The installation and cooling of the evaluation board must be in accordance with the specifications and

target application.

•

The board must be protected against excessive strain. In particular, components should not be bent nor

should isolating distances be altered during transportation or handling.

•

No contact must be made with other electronic components and contacts.

•

The board contains electrostatically sensitive components that are prone to damage if used incorrectly. Do

not mechanically damage or destroy the electrical components (potential health risks).
