EMC filters

Cautions and warnings

Important information

Please read all safety and warning notes carefully before installing the EMC filter and putting it into

operation (see

). The same applies to the warning signs on the filter. Please ensure that the signs

are not removed nor their legibility impaired by external influences.

Death, serious bodily injury and substantial material damage to equipment may occur if the appro

priate safety measures are not carried out or the warnings in the text are not observed.

Using according to the terms

The EMC filters may be used only for their intended application within the specified values in low

voltage networks in compliance with the instructions given in the data sheets and the data book.

The conditions at the place of application must comply with all specifications for the filter used.

Warnings

■ It shall be ensured that only qualified persons (electricity specialists) are engaged on work such

as planning, assembly, installation, operation, repair and maintenance. They must be provided

with the corresponding documentation.

■ Danger of electric shock. EMC filters contain components that store an electric charge. Danger

ous voltages can continue to exist at the filter terminals for longer than five minutes even after

the power has been switched off.

■ The protective earth connections shall be the first to be made when the EMC filter is installed and

the last to be disconnected. Depending on the magnitude of the leakage currents, the particular

specifications for making the protective-earth connection must be observed.

■ Impermissible overloading of the EMC filter, such as impermissible voltages at higher frequen

cies that may cause resonances etc. can lead to destruction of the filter housing.

■ EMC filters must be protected in the application against impermissible exceeding of the rated

currents by suitable overcurrent protective.
