KCM Capacitor Modules
Specialist staff required
Only qualified specialist personnel may carry out work relating to transport, assembly,
commissioning, and maintenance. Qualified specialist personnel are persons who are
familiar with the processes involved in transporting, installing, assembling, commissio-
ning, and operating power electronics, and who possess the relevant minimum qualifica-
tions for their field:
Transport:
Mech. installation: Only by specialists in mechanical engineering
Elec. installation: Only by specialists in electrical engineering
Commissioning:
The specialist personnel must also observe and be familiar with IEC 60364 / IEC 60664,
as well as national accident prevention regulations. The machine manufacturer's risk
assessment may result in additional requirements for specialist personnel.
Earthing
Ensure that the KCM modules are grounded properly with the PE rail in the switching
cabinet as reference potential. Without low-resistance grounding, personal safety cannot
be guaranteed and there will be a danger of death from electric shock.
High voltages
Ensure that the switching cabinet remains closed while the KCM modules are in opera-
tion. Do not remove any connectors during operation as this may cause electrical arcing,
resulting in personal injury and damage to contacts. DC Bus link connections can carry
dangerous voltage levels over an hour after the line voltage has been switched off
(self-discharge time). Danger of death from electric shock.
The KCM modules must be completely discharged prior to installation or uninstallation.
Perform the discharge process as described in the chapter "Discharging KCM modules".
Before commencing work on the modules' power terminals, check the voltage at the con-
nection terminals is de-energized to ground and to each other.
2.2.3
Use as directed
—
The KCM modules may only be connected to Kollmorgen servo amplifiers with
400/480 V rated voltage and a maximum rated current of 24 A.
—
The KCM modules are built into electrical systems or machines as components and
may only be operated as integrated components.
—
We only guarantee that the KCM modules conform to the standards referred to in
the EC Declaration of Conformity if the components that we have supplied are used
(servo amplifier, motor, cables, etc.).
2.2.4
Prohibited use
—
You must not operate the KCM modules
- in potentially explosive areas
- in areas with corrosive and/or electrically conductive acids, bases, oils, vapors,
- in ungrounded systems (IT systems).
—
The intended operation of the KCM module is prohibited if the machine in which it
has been installed
- does not correspond to the provisions of the EC Machinery Directive
- does not fulfill the provisions of the EMC Directive and the Low Voltage Directive.
