Stranded wires – HV+ and HV-

DANGER

Danger to life from electric shock!

After switching off the HV circuit, the buffer capacitors for the DC bus can still have a charge and lead to a life-threatening DC voltage if they are not discharged via an external circuit.

Steps to prevent:

  • Prior to all work on the device, the HV power supply is to be separated from the main switch and secured against restarting.
  • After switching off, expect a discharge time of at least 30 minutes.
  • Measure the terminal voltage, e.g. in the HV DC bus between the HV+ and HV- terminals to ensure that the terminal is voltage-free.
  • Caution: A voltage-free state is not signalled!
  • Use external discharge circuit. Siehe 'Calculation example – discharging circuit'.
