Compliance with EN 61800-3:2004

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.
Drive of category C2: drive of rated voltage less than 1000 V and intended to be
installed and commissioned only by a professional when used in the first
environment. Note: A professional is a person or organisation having necessary
skills in installing and/or commissioning power drive systems, including their EMC
aspects.
Drive of category C3: drive of rated voltage less than 1000 V and intended for use in
the second environment and not intended for use in the first environment.
Drive of category C4: drive 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.

First environment (drive of category C2)

The drive complies with the standard with the following provisions:
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. The maximum cable length is 100 metres.
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.

Second environment (drive of category C3)

The drive complies with the standard with the following provisions:
1. The drive is equipped with EMC filter +E200. See also page 70.
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. The maximum cable length is 100 metres.
