General conditions
The following general conditions apply for the evaluations and measurements:
1. The laws for protection from electromagnetic elds in force in individual EU member states
can go beyond the minimum requirements of the EMF Directive 2013/35/EU and always take
precedence.
2. The ICNIRP2010 limits for the workplace are the basis for the assessment.
3. The 26th BImSchV (German Federal Emission Protection Regulation) denes 100μT (RMS)
for the assessment of active implants.
According to Directive 2013/35/EU, 500µT (RMS) at 50Hz is applicable here.
4. The routing of power cables has a signicant impact on the electromagnetic elds that occur.
Install and operate the components inside metallic cabinets in compliance with the
documentation and use shielded motor cables.
EMC-compliant setup of the machine or plant (Page39)
Evaluation of the converter
The converters are normally used in machines. The assessment and testing is based on
DINEN12198.
Compliance with the limit values was assessed for the following frequencies:
• Line frequency 47...63Hz
• Pulse frequency, for example 4/8/16 kHz and multiples thereof, assessed up to a maximum
of 100kHz
The indicated minimum distances apply to the head and complete torso of the human body.
Shorter distances are possible for extremities.
