Ce Marking; Definitions; Compliance With The Emc Directive; Compliance With The En 61800-3 - ABB ACS800 Hardware Manual

CE marking

A CE mark is attached to the drive to verify that the unit follows the provisions of the European Low
Voltage and EMC Directives (Directive 2006/95/EC and Directive 2004/108/EC).

Definitions

EMC stands for Electromagnetic Compatibility. It is the ability of electrical/electronic equipment to
operate without problems within an electromagnetic environment. Likewise, the equipment must not
disturb or interfere with any other product or system within its locality.
First environment includes establishments connected to a low-voltage network which supplies buildings
used for domestic purposes.
Second environment includes establishments connected to a network not supplying domestic
premises.
PDS of category C1: PDS of rated voltage less than 1000 V, intended for use in the first environment.
PDS of category C2: PDS of rated voltage less than 1000 V, which is neither a plug in device nor a
movable device and, when used in the first environment, is intended to be installed and commissioned
only by a professional.
PDS of category C3: PDS of rated voltage less than 1000 V, intended for use in the second
environment and not intended for use in the first environment.
PDS of category C4: PDS of rated voltage equal to or above 1000 V, or rated current equal to or above
400 A, or intended for use in complex systems in the second environment.

Compliance with the EMC Directive

The EMC Directive defines the requirements for immunity and emissions of electrical equipment used
within the European Union. The EMC product standard (EN 61800-3) covers requirements stated for
drives.

Compliance with the EN 61800-3

First environment (PDS of category C2)

The requirements of the EMC Directive can be met as follows for restricted distribution:
1. The drive is equipped with EMC filter +E202.
2. The motor and control cables are selected as specified in the Hardware Manual.
3. The drive is installed according to the instructions given in the Hardware Manual.
4. Maximum cable length is 100 metres (328 ft).
WARNING! The drive may cause radio interference if used in a residential or domestic environment.
The user is required to take measures to prevent interference, in addition to the requirements for CE
compliance listed above, if necessary.
Note: It is not allowed to install a drive equipped with EMC filter +E202 on IT (unearthed) systems. The
supply network becomes connected to earth potential through the EMC filter capacitors which may
cause danger or damage the unit.
