CE marking
A CE mark is attached to the drive to verify that the drive 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 2004/108EC).
Compliance with the European Low Voltage Directive
The compliance with the European Low Voltage Directive has been verified according to standards
EN 50178, EN 61800-5-1 and EN 60204-1.
Compliance with the European EMC Directive
The cabinet builder is in responsible for the compliance of the drive system with the European EMC
Directive. For information on items to consider, see:
• Subsections Compliance with EN 61800-3 (2004), category C2; Compliance with EN 61800-3
(2004), category C3; and Compliance with EN 61800-3 (2004), category C4 below
• The chapter Planning the electrical installation in this manual
• Technical Guide No. 3 – EMC Compliant Installation and Configuration for a Power Drive System
(3AFE61348280 [English]).
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 domestic premises. It also includes establishments directly connected
without intermediate transformers to a low-voltage network which supplies buildings used for domestic
purposes.
Second environment includes all establishments other than those directly connected to a low-voltage
network which supplies buildings used for domestic purposes.
Drive of category C2. Power drive system with rated voltage less than 1000 V which is neither a plug-in
device nor a movable device and, when used in the first environment, is intended to be installed and
commissioned only by a professional.
Drive of category C3. Power drive system with rated voltage less than 1000 V, intended for use in the
second environment and not intended for use in the first environment.
Drive of category C4. Power drive system with 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.
Compliance with EN 61800-3 (2004), category C2
The drive meets the requirements of the EMC Directive with the following provisions:
1. The motor and control cables are selected as specified in the chapter Planning the electrical
installation.
2. The drive is installed according to the instructions given in this manual.
3. Motor cable length does not exceed 50 metres (164 ft).
Note: The internal EMC filter must be disconnected on IT (ungrounded) systems. Otherwise the supply
network becomes connected to ground potential through the filter capacitors which may cause danger
or damage the drive.
Note: The internal EMC filter must be disconnected on a corner-grounded TN system. Otherwise the
drive will be damaged.
