Technical data 391
CE marking
The CE mark is attached to the drive to verify that the drive follows the provisions of
the European Low Voltage and EMC Directives.
Compliance with the European 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 61800-3:2004) covers requirements stated for drives. See section Compliance
with EN 61800-3:2004 on page 391.
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 directly
supplying domestic premises.
Drive of category C1: drive of rated voltage less than 1000 V, intended for use in the
first environment.
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 organization having necessary skills in installing
and/or commissioning power drive systems, including their EMC aspects.
Category C2 has the same EMC emission limits as the earlier class first environment
restricted distribution. EMC standard IEC/EN 61800-3 does not any more restrict the
distribution of the drive, but the using, installation and commissioning are defined.
Drive of category C3: drive of rated voltage less than 1000 V, intended for use in the
second environment and not intended for use in the first environment.
Category C3 has the same EMC emission limits as the earlier class second
environment unrestricted distribution.
