General information on safety and hazards
Manual –TopCon TC.ACS Scope and applicability 2
2. General information on safety and hazards
2.1. Scope and applicability

The general information applies to all TopCon low-voltage systems. The
user(s) has (have) the obligation to avoid the risks and hazards
mentioned by means of the rigorous application of specialist electrical
rules.
The system is subject to the Low Voltage Directive, it has to be
operated by adequately trained and instructed personnel.
2.2. Categorisation of the hazard areas

The assessment of the effects of hazards from low-voltage systems
with a flow of energy for feed and possibly regeneration is divided into
the following areas:
TopCon power supply device
Personnel area
Systems and material Interactions

with the system
Mains connection
Surrounding area Transport
Fig. 9 Categorisation of the hazard areas.
The hazard areas stated are explained in the sub-sections of this

section that follow.
2014-07-16 17 / 77 V01.20
Manual –TopCon TC.ACS Categorisation of the hazard areas 2
2.2.1. Personnel area
The utmost attention is to be paid to the hazards for individuals. There
are various risks and hazards, of these the most important are
mentioned here.
Electric shock
A low-voltage system can produce electrical potentials that can be
dangerous or even fatal for individuals. During work on the systems the
following guidelines are to be observed:
a) Work in electrically isolated state
This is the recommended way of working, it should be rigorously
applied during all connection and wiring work. Follow the rules:
1. Electrically isolate
2. Secure against switching back on.
3. Short-circuit
4. Connect to earth
5. Report and instruct
After shut down, the short-circuiting of the outputs and earthen
are particularly important for safety reasons if reactive loads or
loads that store energy (accumulators,
capacitors, ULTRACAP etc.) are used.
b) Work in the vicinity of live parts
In these circumstances an increased hazard potential is to be
expected. Minimise the risks by means of:
1. Guards
2. Covers
3. Insulating encapsulation, cladding
4. Impose separation by means of mechanical features, protective
grilles
5. Supervision, reporting
2014-07-16 18 / 77 V01.20
c) Work on live equipment
It is imperative this form of working is avoided.
If it cannot be avoided, careful work preparation is essential. Pay
attention to the following:
1. The personnel must be specially trained.
2. Work in accordance with recognised specialist methods.
3. Controlled personal protective equipment must be available.
(Passive protection)
4. Organisation of the working area.
5. Supervision and preparatory measures. (Active protection)
6. Use appropriate protection against physical contact throughout.
Set up a suitable EMERGENCY STOP chain and test it at
regular intervals!
Mark all wires and cables to prevent mistakes.
Electrical heating
TopCon electrical power supply system operate with significant
amounts of energy. High currents can cause heating of cables and
wires. In particular, during unmonitored endurance tests insulation fires
and short circuits may be caused.
 At particular risk are connectors, switchgear and cable terminals.
Check these parts particularly carefully and at regular intervals.
 Use wiring material suitable and stipulated for your application
with the related insulation class!
 Monitor your system actively or passively using related sensors
or by monitoring parameters.
Arcing and sparking on opening contacts

In relation to DC systems, note that on opening a circuit through which
a current is flowing, arcing with very high energies can be produced
depending on the inductance!
In some circumstances this arcing can result in burns, damage to the
eyes as well as damage, destruction or fire on parts of the system.
The usage of normal mains contactors as isolating devices in DC
circuits is not recommended! Instead use DC contactors. In case of
doubt contact the related manufacturer.
Take into consideration that the protective devices in the TopCon low-
voltage system cannot detect an arc as a fault condition, as this
situation may be a required function.
2014-07-16 19 / 77 V01.20
Risk of mechanical injury
As on all electrical installations, mechanical injuries to the head and
hands may be caused on removing and fitting covers, wire and cable
connections.
Always use the correct tool. If necessary protect the head and hands
against injuries due to cuts and impacts.
2.2.2. Systems and material area

Risk of fire
In case of fire, electrically isolate the system immediately, on the one
hand to interrupt the supply of energy and on the other hand to shut
down the fans.
Fight the fire from bottom to top in accordance with the rules in your
organisation using suitable firefighting equipment (CO2 fire
extinguisher). If possible use fire extinguishers with asphyxiation action
to keep the secondary damage low.
Electromagnetic fields
Like any electrical system, TopCon low-voltage systems produce
electrical and magnetic fields. However, these fields comply fully with
the usual standards.
Note, however, that particularly the EM fields from your cables and
equipment connected could nevertheless produce interference on
objects in the immediate area.
Note the following:
 Keep data carriers and PC-based measuring environments an
adequate distance from live cables to prevent interference and
data loss.
 Protect highly-sensitive sensors and instruments.
 Test effects on communication networks,
in particular radio networks.
 Make individuals with electronic implants aware that implants
may be affected.
Noise and noise level

The inductive elements as well as the fans on the TopCon low voltage
system produce a lower or higher noise level dependent on the
operating mode. However, in the immediate vicinity of the cabinet this
noise is under the tolerance limit that would make acoustic protection
equipment necessary.
The usage of acoustic protection equipment or acoustic insulation
measures can, however, be necessary in specific circumstances.
2014-07-16 20 / 77 V01.20
Mechanical damage
Incorrect operation of the systems can result in mechanical damage to
the downstream equipment and systems.
In particular, on the supply of power to drives it is to be ensured that
excessively high speeds do not result on the removal of the load.
The monitoring of the maximum speed with intervention in the safety
chain is recommended above all if the system runs unmonitored.
Handling stores containing large amounts of energy

Modern energy storage systems are able to absorb very large amounts
of energy. This situation has the following consequences:
 The cabling should not just comply with the maximum charging
and discharging currents to be expected, to some extent
significantly higher peak currents are to be expected during
switching processes.
 Unlike the TopCon low-voltage system, which is fully current-
limited, in the case of stores containing large amounts of energy
a short circuit or failure can be very serious. Due to the high
currents serious injuries and serious damage can be caused.
The following, incomplete list indicates some this damage:
1. Burning of wires and connectors
2. Sparking
3. Fires, insulation fires
4. Arcing, welding
5. Electric shocks
Note the following points:
1. Never short-circuit energy stores to discharge them!
Always use a suitable discharge resistor of appropriate power
rating!
2. Visibly secure a discharged energy store using a short-circuit
bridge.
3. Always monitor the maximum storage voltage, also during
practical test operation.
4. Use a device that clearly indicates the charge state of the energy
store, e.g. by monitoring the low-voltage limit.
2.2.3. Mains connection area

TopCon power supplies that are operated together with a TC.ACS
device can generate an uneven load on the 3 mains phases; this
uneven load may cause older residual current circuit breakers to trip.
Here a modern make of residual current circuit breaker is to be used.
.that will tolerate such asymmetries during the switch-on process.
2014-07-16 21 / 77 V01.20
2.2.4. Surrounding area
TopCon TC.ACS devices are generally forced liquid cooled.
A large portion of the power loss produced is dissipated via the cooling
circuit. Here it is to be ensured the cooling liquid feed is not too warm.
For further requirements on the cooling liquid,
refer to chapter 11.3, page 61.
The rest of power loss in the components must be dissipated in the
form of heat to the surroundings. The generated heat is blown out to the
rear of the TopCon TC.ACS device with the aid of internal fans.
It is to be ensured that there are no undesirable effects (e.g. stirring up
of dust or sand, deformation due to the action of heat etc.) due to the
flow of air and the heat, which at high load may be powerful.
2.2.5. Transport area

For the transport the TopCon TC.ACS device there are further transport
and positioning aids required, e.g. fork lifter.
Fig. 10 View of the TC.ACS device from the front.
To place the rear side of the device on the rails in the rack, it his helpful
to use lift aids for height positioning.

2.2.6. Area related to interaction with the system
Compliance with the design data for the specific system is a condition
for malfunction-free operation.
Load systems operated using a TC.ACS can have significant effects on
the power source. The following points are to be noted:
1. The maximum voltage specified is not allowed to be exceeded.
2. Protective measures must be provided against voltage spikes on
the load side and their function must be monitored (voltage
spikes could damage the filter capacitors and semiconductors in
the system).
3. Periodic overcurrent’s are to be avoided.
The system is always to be operated within the permissible temperature
range. Temperatures above the specified values will reduce the service
life of various modules.

Layout and function
Manual –TopCon TC.ACS Possible Operation modes 3
3.4. Possible Operation modes
The TC.ACS device serves two operation modes.
 Amplifier operation mode
External signals are given on the analogue interfaces for each
phase. Any device which creates electrical signals, can be used
as signal generator.
Generally a good quality digital-/analogue interface with a
minimum of three channels (one channel for each phase) is
recommended.
While running in amplifier operation mode, the signal source
always has to be connected to the analogue inputs of the
TC.ACS device.
For further information about the configuration,
 Function engine mode
Signal functions are programmed within the TC.ACSControl
software. The created reference signal will be transmitted via a
remote data interface connection from PC to the TC.ACS device.
The TC.ACS writes this information for its synthesizer
components into its flash memory, providing an autonomous
operation.
Upon the restart of the device, the stored information of the
signal functions are again available. The synthesizer restarts
simulating the previously programmed electronic grid circuit.

11.3.2. Cooling liquid data
In general the quality of normal purified, soft and largely chlorine-free
drinking water is adequate.
The installation of fine filters will keep back fine sludge particles.Your
local water utility will be able to provide detailed information on the
water quality.
For information on the water quality, see Table 19, page 62.
Information on the cooling medium

The quality of the cooling medium will have a long-term effect on the
system performance. Avoid the following processes by using suitable
measures:
 The deposition of foreign bodies on the heat exchanger surfaces.
 Electrolytic and/or chemical corrosion.
 The deposition of fine sludge.
 Coating with foreign substances and as a result degradation of
the heat transfer.

The energy transmission between the line side and the load side will be disconnected via integratedl safety relays.
Safety circuit input:
The forcibly guided contact of the safety relay disconnects the controlling supply of the contactor on the input side and the pre-
charge contactor. At this time no energy flow is possible in or out of device.
Safety circuit output:
The forcibly guided contact of the safety relay disconnects the controlling supply of the contactor on the output side. At this
time no energy flow is possible in or out of device. The pins of the safety relay are provided by the interface X112-2. The
interface provides a connection to an external safety circuit.
When the safety shutdown circuit is not needed, pin 1 has to be connected with pin 2/4 and pin 6 with pin 7/9.
