3) Hazardous touch voltages can be present on drive system components, which can be
caused by:
• Operation of the equipment outside the scope of the specifications
• External influence on, or damage of the equipment
• Induced voltages by external equipment
• Condensation on equipment components, or pollution
• Faulty hardware
4) High temperatures, noise, particles, or gases can be emitted from drive system
