Ce Marking; Definitions; Compliance With The Emc Directive; Compliance With The En 61800-3 + Amendment A11 (2000) - 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 73/23/EEC, as amended by 93/68/EEC and Directive 89/336/
EEC, as amended by 93/68/EEC).

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.
Restricted distribution: mode of sales distribution in which the manufacturer restricts the supply of
equipment to suppliers, customers or users who separately or jointly have technical competence in the
EMC requirements of the application of drives.
Unrestricted distribution: mode of sales distribution in which the supply of equipment is not dependent
on the EMC competence of the customer or user for the application of drives.

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 + Amendment A11 (2000)] covers
requirements stated for drives.

Compliance with the EN 61800-3 + Amendment A11 (2000)

First environment (restricted distribution)

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.
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 the 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.
