NB!
When unscreened cables are used, some emission requirements are not complied with, although the immunity requirements are observed.
In order to reduce the interference level from the entire system (unit + installation), make motor and brake cables as short as possible. Avoid placing cables with
2
a sensitive signal level alongside motor and brake cables. Radio interference higher than 50 MHz (airborne) is especially generated by the control electronics.
2.9.2 Emission Requirements
According to the EMC product standard for adjustable speed frequency converters EN/IEC61800-3:2004 the EMC requirements depend on the intended use of
the frequency converter. Four categories are defined in the EMC product standard. The definitions of the four categories together with the requirements for mains
supply voltage conducted emissions are given in the table below:
Category Definition
C1 frequency converters installed in the first environment (home and office) with a supply voltage
less than 1000 V.
C2 frequency converters installed in the first environment (home and office) with a supply voltage
less than 1000 V, which are neither plug-in nor movable and are intended to be installed and
commissioned by a professional.
C3 frequency converters installed in the second environment (industrial) with a supply voltage
lower than 1000 V.
C4 frequency converters installed in the second environment with a supply voltage equal to or
above 1000 V or rated current equal to or above 400 A or intended for use in complex systems.
When the generic emission standards are used the frequency converters are required to comply with the following limits:

2.9.3 EMC Test Results (Emission)
The following test results have been obtained using a system with a frequency converter (with options if relevant), a screened control cable, a control box
with potentiometer, as well as a motor and motor screened cable.
