2.5.2  Protection against Touching Electrical Parts
Touching parts carrying a voltage of 50 Volts or higher can be 
dangerous. When electric appliances are operated, certain parts of 
these appliances inevitably carry a dangerous voltage.
DANGER!
High voltage!
Life hazard!
 Observe the universally valid construction and safety rules for 
working on high-voltage units.
 After installation, check the fixed connection of the earth 
conductor on all electric appliances according to the connection 
plan.
 Operation, even for short-term measuring and test purposes, is 
only permitted with an earth conductor firmly connected to all 
electric components.
 Before accessing electrical parts with voltages exceeding 50 
Volts, disconnect the unit from mains or power supply and lock it 
out. After switching off, wait for at lest 5 minutes before touching 
any components.
 Do not touch electrical connections of the components while the 
unit is on.
 Before switching on the unit, cover all voltage carrying parts to 
prevent accidental contact.
 Provide for protection against indirect touching (EN 50178 / 
1998 section 5.3.2).
DANGER!
High leak current!
Life hazard!
 The leak current is greater than 3.5 mA. Therefore the units 
must have a firm connection to the power grid (according to DIN 
EN 50178 / 1998 - equipment of high-voltage systems).
