EDBCSXKXXX EN 1.0

Installation
The capacitor modules must be installed and cooled according to the regulations given in

the corresponding Instructions.
Ensure careful handling and avoid mechanical stress. Do not bend any components and do

not change the insulation distances during transport and handling. Do not touch any

electronic components and contacts.
Capacitor modules contain electrostatic sensitive devices which can easily be damaged by

inappropriate handling. Do not damage or destroy any electrical components since this

means hazards for your health!

Electrical connection
When working on live capacitor modules, the valid national regulations for the prevention

of accidents (e. g. VBG 4) must be observed.
The electrical installation must be carried out in compliance with the corresponding

regulations (e. g. cable cross-sections, fusing, PE connection). Additional information can

be obtained from the documentation.
The documentation contains notes for EMC-compliant installation (shielding, earthing,

filters and cable routing). These notes must also be observed when using CE-marked

capacitor modules. The manufacturer of the system or machine is responsible for the

compliance with the limit values required by the EMC legislation.

Operation
If necessary, systems including capacitor modules must be equipped with additional

monitoring and protection devices according to the corresponding safety regulations

(e. g. law on technical equipment, regulations for the prevention of accidents). The

capacitor module can be adapted to your application. Please observe the corresponding

information given in the documentation.
After the capacitor module has been disconnected from the supply voltage, live

components and power connectionsmust notbe touchedimmediately becausecapacitors

can be charged. Please observe the corresponding labels on the capacitor module.
All protection covers and doors must be shut during operation.
Note for UL-approved system with integrated capacitor modules:
UL warnings are notes which only apply to UL systems. The documentation contains

special UL-related information.

Maintenance and servicing
The capacitor modules are free of maintenance if the prescribed conditions of operation

are observed.
In operating areas with polluted ambient air, the cooling surfaces of the capacitor module

can get dirty or the cooling openings can block. Under these conditions a regular cleaning

of the cooling surfaces and cooling openings is essential. Do not use sharp or pointed

objects for this purpose!
