Environmental compatibility

Environmental aspects during development
The number of parts has been reduced substantially by the use of highly integrated components and by a
modular structure of the complete converter series. This reduces energy consumption during production.
Particular attention was paid to reducing volume, mass and type diversity of the metal and plastic parts.
Plastic parts used:
On all essential parts, flame retardants containing halogen and insulating material containing silicone have
been substituted by materials that are devoid of noxious substances.
Environmental compatibility was an important criterion in the selection of externally source items.
Environmental aspects during production
Externally sourced items are mainly transported in returnable packaging. The packaging material itself is
recyclable, consisting mainly of cardboard.
With the exception of the hot galvanised side plate, surface coatings have been dispensed with.
Production is emission-free.
Environmental aspects of disposal
The unit can be dismantled into recyclable mechanical components by means of easily removable screw and
snap joints.
The pc boards can be disposed of thermally. The number of components containing hazardous substances
is only slight.
The plastic parts are marked in conformity with DIN 54840 and bear the recycling symbol.
