Chapter 8 EMC
8.1 Denition of Terms

EMC
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) describes the ability of electronic and electrical devices or systems
to work properly in the electromagnetic environment and not to generate electromagnetic interference that
inuences other local devices or systems.
In other words, EMC includes two aspects: The electromagnetic interference generated by a device or
system must be restricted within a certain limit; the device or system must have sufficient immunity to the
electromagnetic interference in the environment.
■
First environment
Environment that includes domestic premises, it also includes establishments directly connected without
intermediate transformers to a low-voltage power supply network which supplies buildings used for
domestic purposes
■
Second environment
Environment that includes all establishments other than those directly connected to a low-voltage power
supply network which supplies buildings used for domestic purposes
■
Category C1 Servo drive
Power Drive System (PDS) of rated voltage less than 1000 V, intended for use in the rst environment
■
Category C2 Servo drive
