Statically charged persons can discharge themselves when they tap electrical components.

NOTE: Humans can only detect a discharge starting from a level of approx. 3000 V.

The danger threshold for electrical components already starts from a level of approx. 100 V.

  • When replacing electrical components, leave the replacement components in their original packaging until immediately before they are to be installed
  • If necessary, always return a removed component in its original packaging (always pack the component away immediately)
  • Read and comply with user information on using the associated special tool.12 7 060
