4.8.7 Achievable EMC category
Overview
The ser
vo drive system has been tested in accordance with the emission requirements of IEC
61800‑3 CategoryC2.
• For a radiated emission test, an external line lter (between the mains supply network and
the converter) is required to meet the EMC requirements. The converter needs to be installed
inside a shielded metallic cabinet, while other parts of the motion control system (including
the PLC, DC power supply, spindle drive, and motor) need to be put outside the shielded
cabinet.
• For a conductive emission test, an external line lter (between the mains supply network and
the converter) is required to meet the EMC requirements.
• For the radiated emission and conductive emission tests, the length of the line supply cable
between the line lter and the converter must be shorter than 1m.
Description
The achievable EMC category is dependent on the motor cable length and the line system
conguration. The following conditions apply to the possible application environment.
