Safety inspection
NOTE
High-voltage test
The integrated EMC filter contains Y capacitors.
Therefore, the trigger current is exceeded when AC
testing voltage is applied.
→ Test the device with DC voltage when you carry
out the high-voltage test required by law. The
voltage to be used corresponds to the peak value
of the AC voltage required by the standard.

Disposal
For ebm-papst, environmental protection and resource
preservation are top priority corporate goals,
Ebm-papst operates an environmental management system
which is certified in accordance with ISO 14001 and rigorously
implemented around the world on the basis of German
standards.
Right from the development stage, ecological design, technical
safety and health protection are fixed criteria.
The following section contains recommendations for ecological
disposal of the product and its components.
6.3.1
Country-specific legal requirements
NOTE
Country-specific legal requirements
Always observe the applicable country-specific legal
regulations with regard to the disposal of products or
waste occurring in the various phases of the life
cycle. The corresponding disposal standards are also
to be heeded.
6.3.2
Disassembly
Disassembly of the product must be performed or supervised by
qualified personnel with the appropriate technical knowledge.
The product is to be disassembled into suitable components for
disposal employing standard procedures for motors.
WARNING
Heavy parts of the product may drop off. Some of
the product components are heavy. These
components could drop off during disassembly.
This can result in fatal or serious injury and material
damage.
→
Secure components before unfastening to stop
them falling.
6.3.3
Component disposal
The products are mostly made of steel, copper, aluminium and
plastic.
Metallic materials are generally considered to be fully recyclable.
Separate the components for recycling into the following
categories:
Steel and iron
Aluminium
Non-ferrous metal, e.g. motor windings
Plastics, particularly with brominated flame retardants, in
accordance with marking
Insulating materials
Cables and wires
Electronic scrap, e.g. circuit boards
Only ferrite magnets and not rare earth magnets are used in
external rotor motors form ebm-papst
Ferrite magnets can be disposed of in the same way as normal
iron and steel.
Electrical insulating materials on the product, in cables and wires
are made of similar materials and are therefore to be treated in
the same manner.
The materials concerned are as follows:
Miscellaneous insulators used in the terminal box
Power cables
Cables for internal wiring
Electrolytic capacitors
Dispose of electronic components employing the proper
procedures for electronic scrap.
Please contact ebm-papst for any other questions on
disposal.
