118 Technical data
CE marking
A CE mark is attached to the drive module 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 module complies with the European Union Machinery Directive 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 organization
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.
