3.5.2.3 Earth-fault protection
A fault current to earth can be produced by variable frequency drives due to 
their system characteristics. DC1 series variable frequency drives have been 
designed in such a way that the smallest possible fault current will be 
produced in compliance with standards applicable worldwide. In the case of 
devices powered with a three-phase supply (DC1-3…), this fault current 
must be monitored by an AC/DC-sensitive type B residual current device 
(RCD).
3.5.3 Internal filters (EMC and VAR screws)
FS1 to FS3 DC1 variable frequency drives with an IP20 degree of protection 
feature two screws on the left side that are labeled EMC and VAR.

In the case of units with a frame size of FS4, there will be two screws 
labeled EMC: one next to the main terminals and another one next to the 
motor terminals.
