Safety information Warnings WARNING Dangerous electrical voltage Hazardous voltages are present when electrical equipment is in operation. Severe personal injury or substantial material damage may result if these warnings are not observed. Only qualified personnel are permitted to work on or around the equipment. These personnel must be thoroughly familiar with all the warnings and maintenance procedures described in these operating instructions.
Note Support by SIEMENS service centers We recommend engaging the support and services of your local Siemens service center for all planning, installation, commissioning and maintenance work. Cabinet design and EMC Operating Instructions, 03/2013, A5E00427629A...
Safety information 1.3 Components that can be destroyed by electrostatic discharge (ESD) Components that can be destroyed by electrostatic discharge (ESD) CAUTION Components sensitive to electrostatic charge The board contains components that can be destroyed by electrostatic discharge. These components can be easily destroyed if not handled properly. If you do have to use electronic boards, however, please observe the following: ...

General The modular concept of SINAMICS G130 makes it impossible to describe each individual combination. This section instead aims to provide some basic information and general rules on the basis of which special device combinations can be constructed and to ensure electromagnetic compatibility.
General 2.2 Directives NOTICE Only use original Siemens accessories To ensure that the entire system functions properly, you are advised to use the original Siemens accessories. Only original DRIVE-CLiQ cables may be used for wiring the DRIVE-CLiQ nodes. Before commissioning, check the tightening torque of all the terminal screws.

Basic information about EMC Introduction to EMC What is meant by EMC? Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) describes the capability of an electrical device to function satisfactorily in an electromagnetic environment without itself causing interference unacceptable for other devices in the environment. EMC therefore represents a quality feature for the ●...

Basic information about EMC 3.1 Introduction to EMC Noise emissions Product standard EN 61800–3 outlines the EMC requirements for variable-speed drive systems. It specifies requirements for converters with operating voltages of less than 1000 V. Different environments and categories are defined depending on where the drive system is installed.

NOTICE Avoid the reduction of service life If the guidelines for installing SINAMICS G130 equipment are not observed, this can significantly reduce the service life of the components and result in premature component failure.
5.2 Ventilation Ventilation The SINAMICS G130 devices are forced-ventilated by means of integrated fans. To ensure an adequate air supply, suitable openings for the inlet air (e.g. ventilation slots in the cabinet door) and discharged air (e.g.,by means of a hood) must be provided.

Cabinet air conditioning 5.2 Ventilation Abluft Figure 5-2 Air guidance for Power Module, frame size HX, JX Devices must not be operated in an "air short circuit", since this can damage equipment or cause it to fail. The pull of the fan causes negative pressure to build up at the ventilation openings in the cabinet doors.
Page 27
Cabinet air conditioning 5.2 Ventilation Due to the flow of air within the cabinet, the device fan draws in pre-heated air. This heats up the components considerably and the ventilator does not function effectively. NOTICE To prevent an air short circuit Devices must not be operated in an air short circuit, since this can cause it to fail.

Cabinet air conditioning 5.2 Ventilation The opening cross-sections specified in the table refer in each case to one device. If more than one device is installed in a cabinet, the opening cross-section increases accordingly. If the required openings cannot be made in the cabinet, the devices must be distributed across several cabinets, which are separated from each other by means of partitions.
