Danfoss VLT AQUA Drive FC 202 Design Guide

The amount of leakage current detected by the RCD
depends on the cut-o frequency of the RCD.

3.3.1 Line Power Congurations and EMC
Eects
There are several types of AC line power systems for
supplying power to adjustable frequency drives. Each
aects the EMC characteristics of the system. The 5-wire
TN-S systems are regarded as best for EMC, while the
isolated IT system is the least desirable.
System type Description
TN Line
Power
Systems
There are two types of TN line power distribution
systems: TN-S and TN-C.
TN-S A 5-wire system with separate neutral (N) and
protective ground (PE) conductors. It provides the
best EMC properties and avoids transmitting
interference.
TN-C A 4-wire system with a common neutral and
protective ground (PE) conductor throughout the
system. The combined neutral and protective
ground conductor results in poor EMC character-
istics.
System type Description
TT Line
Power
Systems
A 4-wire system with a grounded neutral
conductor and individual grounding of the drive
units. It has good EMC characteristics when
grounded properly.
IT Line
Power
System
An isolated 4-wire system with the neutral
conductor either not grounded or grounded via
an impedance.

3.3.2 Low-frequency Line Interference
3.3.2.1 Non-sinusoidal Line Power Supply
The AC line voltage is rarely a uniform sinusoidal voltage
with constant amplitude and frequency. This is partly due
to loads that draw non-sinusoidal currents from line power
or have non-linear characteristics, such as computers,
television sets, switching power supplies, energy-ecient
lamps, and adjustable frequency drives. Deviations are
unavoidable and permissible within certain limits.
3.3.2.2
EMC Directives Compliance
In most of Europe, the basis for the objective assessment
of the quality of line power is the Electromagnetic
Compatibility of Devices Act (EMVG). Compliance with this
regulation ensures that all devices and networks connected
to electrical distribution systems fulll their intended
purpose without generating problems.

3.3.2.3
Interference-free Adjustable
Frequency Drives
Every adjustable frequency drive generates line
interference. Present standards only dene frequency
ranges up to 2 kHz. Some drives shift the line interference
in the region above 2 kHz, which is not addressed by the
standard, and label them as interference-free. Limits for
this region are currently being studied. Adjustable
frequency drives do not shift line interference.
