EMC compliance (IEC/EN 61800-3:2004 + A2012)
￭ 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.
