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.
Compliance with the European Low Voltage Directive
The compliance with the European Low Voltage Directive has been verified according to standards
EN 61800-5-1 and EN 60204-1.
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 the EN 61800-3:2004 below.
Compliance with the European Machinery Directive
The drive complies with the European Union Machinery Directive (98/37/EC) requirements for an
equipment intended to be incorporated into machinery.
“C-tick” marking
“C-tick” marking is required in Australia and New Zealand. A “C-tick” mark is attached to each drive in
order to verify compliance with the relevant standard (IEC 61800-3:2004, Adjustable speed electrical
power drive systems – Part 3: EMC product standard including specific test methods), mandated by the
Trans-Tasman Electromagnetic Compatibility Scheme.
For fulfilling the requirements of the standard, see section Compliance with the EN 61800-3:2004
below.
Compliance with the 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.
