Protection against risks under all operation conditions even in case of
malfunction can only be ensured by the design of the equipment as well

manufacturer of the equipment to take the appropriate measures . Incorrect
connections by the user may lead to risks, faulty operation and abnormal
heating or fire . It is also the responsibility of the manufacturer of the equip -
ment to take appropriate measures to avoid potential danger of electrical
shock by preventing access to live parts of the relay including parts as
terminals and accessories .
