C-4 CE Guidelines 3AXD50000011888
C.3 Compliance with the EN 61800-3:2004
C.3.1 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 1000V and intended to be installed and started up only by a
professional when used in the rst environment.
Note: A professional is a person or organization having necessary skills in installing and/or starting up power drive systems,
including their EMC aspects.
Drive of category C3: drive of rated voltage less than 1000V and intended for use in the second environment and not
intended for use in the rst environment.
Drive of category C4: drive of rated voltage equal to or above 1000V, or rated current equal to or above 400A, or intended for
use in complex systems in the second environment.
C.3.2 Category C2
The drive complies with the standard with the following provisions:
1. The drive is equipped with EMC lter +E202.
2. The motor and control cables are selected as specied in the hardware manual.
3. The drive is installed according to the instructions given in the hardware manual.
4. Maximum motor cable length is 150 meters.
WARNING! The drive may cause radio interference if used in residential or domestic environment. The user
is required to take measures to prevent interference, in association to the requirements for the CE
compliance listed above, if necessary.
Note: Do not install a drive equipped with EMC lter +E202 on IT (ungrounded) systems. The supply network becomes
connected to ground potential through the EMC lter capacitors which may cause danger or damage to the unit.
C.3.3 Category C3
The drive complies with the standard with the following provisions:
1. The drive is equipped with EMC lter +E200 or +E201.
2. The motor and control cables are selected as specied in the hardware manual.
3. The drive is installed according to the instructions given in the hardware manual.
4. Maximum motor cable length is 150 meters.
WARNING! A drive of category C3 is not intended to be used on a low-voltage public network which supplies
domestic premises. Radio frequency interference is expected if the drive is used on such a
network.
