Safety and Operating Instructions

Note:

Please read this section before attempting any operation with this manual.

The AC chopper board is designed for demonstration purposes only, and shall not be used

for electrical installation or machinery. The technical data, as well as information concerning

the power supply conditions shall be taken from the documentation and strictly observed.

The AC chopper driver poses several inherent hazards during installation and operation,

including bare wires and hot surfaces. All operations involving transportation, installation

and use, as well as maintenance are to be carried out by skilled technical personnel

(national accident prevention rules must be observed). For the purposes of these basic

safety instructions, “skilled technical personnel” are defined as suitably qualified people who

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

Danger:

There is danger of serious personal injury and damage to

property, if the Kit or its components are improperly used or

installed incorrectly.

3.1

STEVAL-IHM006V1 Board Installation

The installation and cooling of the demo board shall be in accordance with the specifications

and the targeted application.

●

The motor drive converters shall be protected against excessive strain. In particular, no

components are to be bent, or isolating distances altered during the course of

transportation or handling.

●

No physical contact shall be made with electronic components and contacts.

●

The boards contain electrostatically sensitive components that are prone to damage

through improper use. Electrical components must not be mechanically damaged or

destroyed (to avoid potential health risks).

Warning:

Applicable national accident prevention rules must be

followed when working on the main power supply with a

motor or AC load.

Note:

Do NOT expose the kit to ambient temperatures of over 35°C, as this may harm the

components or reduce their lifetimes.
