3.5.3 Emission Requirements
According to the EMC product standard for adjustable speed adjustable frequency drives EN/IEC 61800-3:2004, the EMC
requirements depend on the environment in which the adjustable frequency drive is installed. These environments along
with the AC line voltage supply requirements are defined in Table 3.15.
Category Definition
