If fault current protective switches are used they must be testedwith the drive with earth fault currents that are possible to arise in fault situations.1.4 Running the motorWarning symbolsFor your own safety, please pay special attention to the instructions marked with the followingsymbols:=Dangerous voltageWARNING =General warningHOT SURFACE =Hot surface – Risk of burnMOTOR RUN CHECK LIST1 Before starting the motor, check that the motor is mounted properly andensure that the machine connected to the motor allows the motor to bestarted.2 Set the maximum motor speed (frequency) according to the motor andthe machine connected to it.3 Before reversing the motor shaft rotation direction make sure that thiscan be done safely.4 Make sure that no power correction capacitors are connected to themotor cable.5 Make sure that the motor terminals are not connected to mainspotential.WARNING
