ACS140 EMC Instructions
Mandatory Installation Instruction According to the EMC Directive for
type ACS140 frequency converters
Follow the instructions given in the ACS140 User´s Manual and the
instructions delivered with different accessories.
CE Marking
A CE mark is attached to ACS140 frequency converters 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).
The EMC Directive defines the requirements for immunity and emissions of
electrical equipment used in European Economic Area. The EMC product
standard EN 61800-3 covers the requirements stated for frequency
converters. ACS140 frequency converters comply with the requirements
stated in EN 61800-3 for Second Environment and First Environment.
Product standard EN 61800-3 (Adjustable speed electrical power drive
systems - Part 3: EMC product standard including specific test methods)
defines First Environment as environment that includes domestic
premises. It also includes establishments directly connected without
intermediate transformers to a low voltage power supply network which
supplies buildings used for domestic purposes. The Second Environment
includes establishments other than those directly connected to a low voltage
power supply network which supplies buildings used for domestic purposes.
C-Tick Marking
A C-tick mark is attached to ACS140 frequency converters (pending for
heatsinkless series) to verify that the unit follows the provisions of the
Australian Statuary Rules No 294, 1996, Radiocommunication (Compliance
Labelling - Incidental Emissions) Notice and the Radiocommunication Act,
1989, and the Radiocommunication Regulations, 1993, of New Zealand.
The statutory rules defines the essential requirements for emissions of
electrical equipment used in Australia and New Zealand. The standard AS/
NZS 2064, 1997, Limits and methods of measurement of electronic
disturbance characteristics of industrial, scientific and medical (ISM)
radiofrequency equipment, covers the detailed requirements for three-phase
frequency converter.
The ACS140 frequency converter comply with the AS/NZS 2064, 1997,
limits for class A equipment. Class A equipment is suitable for use in all
establishments other than domestic and those directly connected to a low
voltage network which supplies buildings used for domestic purposes. The
compliance is valid with the following provisions:
• The frequency converter is equipped with RFI-filter.
• The motor and control cables are chosen as specified in this manual for
use in public low-voltage network.
• The installation rules of this manual are followed.
