Danger to life from electric shock due to live voltage
High voltages are present in the Transformer Compact Station. Touching live components results in death or serious
injury due to electric shock.
• When working on the Transformer Compact Station, always wear suitable personal protective equipment.
• Do not touch any live components.
• Follow the instructions precisely.
• Observe all warning messages on the product and in the documentation.
• Before performing any work on the Transformer Compact Station, ensure that no voltage is present in any of the
devices.
• Ensure that no disconnected devices can be reconnected.
• Ground and short-circuit the Transformer Compact Station.
• Cover or isolate any adjacent live components.
Danger to life from electric shock if the Transformer Compact Station is damaged
Operating a damaged Transformer Compact Station can lead to hazardous situations that result in death or serious
injuries due to electric shock.
• Operate the Transformer Compact Station only if it is technically safe and in good working order.
• Regularly check the Transformer Compact Station for visible damage.
• Make sure that all external safety equipment is freely accessible at all times.
• Make sure that all safety equipment is in good working order.
• Wear suitable personal protective equipment for all work on the devices.

Risk of fire due to failure to observe torque specifications on live bolted connections
Failure to follow the specified torques reduces the ampacity of live bolted connections so that the contact resistances
increase. This can cause components to overheat and catch fire.
• Ensure that live bolted connections are always tightened with the torque specified in this document.
• When working on the device, use suitable tools only.
• Avoid repeated tightening of live bolted connections as this may result in inadmissibly high torques.

Risk of burns due to hot components
Some components of the Transformer Compact Station can get very hot during operation. Touching these components
can cause burns.
• Observe the warning messages on the components.
• When working on the device, use suitable tools only.
• Wear safety gloves when working on the Transformer Compact Station.
