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 C1: drive of rated voltage less than 1000 V and intended for use in the
first environment.
Drive of category C2: drive of rated voltage less than 1000 V and intended to be installed
and started up 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
starting up 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.
￭ Category C2
The drive complies with the standard with the following provisions:
1. The drive is equipped with EMC filter (option +E202).
2. The motor and control cables are selected as specified 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 (492 ft) for frames R6 to R9 and 100 meters
(328 ft) for frames R10 and R11.
WARNING!
The drive may cause radio interference if used in a residential or domestic
environment. The user is required to take measures to prevent interference, in
addition to the requirements for CE compliance listed above, if necessary.
Note: Do not install a drive equipped with EMC filter +E202/ARFI-10 on IT
(ungrounded) systems. The supply network becomes connected to ground potential
through the EMC filter capacitors which may cause danger or damage to the unit.
￭ Category C3
The drive complies with the standard with the following provisions:
1. The drive is equipped with EMC filter +E200, +E201 or +E210.
2. The input power cables, motor cables and control cables are selected as specified in
the appropriate drive manual(s).
