2.7.2 Emission Requirements
The EMC product standard for frequency converters
denes 4 categories (C1, C2, C3, and C4) with specied
requirements for emission and immunity. Table 2.4 states
the denition of the 4 categories and the equivalent classi-
cation from EN 55011.
Category Denition
Equivalent
emission class
in EN 55011
C1 Frequency converters installed in
the rst environment (home and
oce) with a supply voltage less
than 1000 V.
Class B
C2 Frequency converters installed in
the rst environment (home and
oce) with a supply voltage less
than 1000 V, which are not plug-in
and not movable, and must be
installed and commissioned by a
professional.
Class A Group 1
C3 Frequency converters installed in
the second environment (industrial)
with a supply voltage lower than
1000 V.
Class A Group 2
Category Denition
Equivalent
emission class
in EN 55011
C4 Frequency converters installed in
the second environment with a
supply voltage equal to or above
1000 V or rated current equal to or
above 400 A or intended for use in
complex systems.
No limit line.

Table 2.4 Correlation between IEC 61800-3 and EN 55011
When the generic (conducted) emission standards are
used, the frequency converters are required to comply with
the limits in Table 2.5.
