The number of components has been significantly reduced over earlier
converter series by the use of highly integrated components and the
modular design of the complete series. Thus, the energy requirement
during production has been reduced.
Special significance was placed on the reduction of the volume, weight
and variety of metal and plastic components.

LOGO
LDPE: Capacitor ring
PA6.6: Fuse holders, mounting rail,
capacitor holder, cable retainer,

Halogen-containing flame retardants were, for all essential
components, replaced by environmentally-friendly flame retardants.
Environmental compatibility was an important criterium when selecting
the supplied components.
Purchased components are generally supplied in recyclable packaging
materials (board).
Surface finishes and coatings were eliminated with the exception of the
galvanized sheet steel side panels.
ASIC devices and SMD devices were used on the boards.
The product is emission-free.
The unit can be broken-down into recyclable mechanical components
as a result of the easily releasable screw- and snap connections.
The plastic components and moulded housing are to DIN 54840 and
have a recycling symbol.
Units can be disposed of through certified disposal companies.
Addresses are available from your local Siemens partner.
