ABB PVS800-57-1000kW-C - Applicable Standards and Requirements; CE Marking; Compliance with the European Low Voltage Directive; Compliance with the European EMC Directive

Technical data 147
CE marking
A CE mark is attached to the inverter 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 standard EN 62109.
 Compliance with the European EMC directive
The EMC Directive defines the requirements for immunity and emissions of electrical equipment used within
the European Union. EMC standards EN 61000-6-2:2005 and EN 61000-6-4:2007 cover requirements stated
for electrical and electronic apparatus intended for use in industrial environments.
Compliance with EMC standards EN 61000-6-2:2005 and
EN 61000-6-4:2007
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.
Applicable standards and requirements
The inverter complies with the standards below.
IEC/EN 62109-1:2010 Safety of power converters for use in photovoltaic power systems Part 1:
General requirements
IEC/EN 62109-2:2011 Safety of power converters for use in photovoltaic power systems Part 2:
Particular requirements for inverters
The inverter complies with the standard when the inverter and the
photovoltaic array are installed and used inside a closed electrical operating
area. Then, the inverter does not need to comply with subclauses 4.8.2.1,
4.8.2.2, 4.8.3.2, 4.8.3.4, and 4.8.3.5.1b. However, the inverter complies with
subclauses 4.8.2.1 and 4.8.2.2.

currents produced by equipment connected to public low-voltage systems
with input current >16 A and <
75 A per phase
Note: The inverter complies with the standard when its output power is 20%
of the nominal power or greater. When the output power is less than 20% of
the nominal power, the short-circuit ratio R
sce
= 250.
