Chapter 7 EMC (Electromagnetic 
Compatibility)
7.1 Definition 
 Electromagnetic compatibility is the 
ability of the electric equipment to run in the 
electromagnetic interference environment 
and implement its function stably without 
interferences on the electromagnetic 
environment.   
7.2 EMC Standard Description
In accordance with the requirements of 
the national standard GB/T12668.3, the 
inverter needs to comply with electromagnetic 
interference and anti- electromagnetic 
interference requirements.   
The existing products of our company 
apply to the latest international 
standard—IEC/EN61800-32004 (Adjustable 
speed electrical power drive systems
 
part 
3:EMC requirements and specific test 
methods), which is equivalent to the national 
standard GB/T12668.3.   
IEC/EN61800-3 assesses the inverter in 
terms of electromagnetic interference and 
anti-electronic interference. Electromagnetic 
interference mainly tests the radiation 
interference, conduction interference and 
harmonics interference on the inverter 
(required for the inverter for civil use)
Anti-electromagnetic interference mainly tests 
the conduction interference rejection, 
radiation interference rejection, surge 
interference rejection, fast and mutable pulse 
group interference rejection, ESD interference 
rejection and power low frequency end 
interference rejection (specific test items 
including:    1. Interference rejection tests of 
input voltage sag, interrupt and change; 2. 
Phase conversion notch interference rejection 
test; 3. Harmonic input interference rejection 
test; 4. Input frequency change test; 5. Input 
voltage unbalance test; 6. input voltage 
fluctuation test).   
The tests shall be conducted strictly in 
accordance with the above requirements of 
IEC/EN61800-3, and the products of our 
company are installed and used according to 
Section 7.3 and have good electromagnetic 
compatibility in general industry environment.   
 
7.3 EMC Introduction 
7.3.1 Harmonic Effect
Higher harmonics of power supply may 
damage the inverter.    Thus, at some places 
where mains quality is rather poor, it is 
recommended to install AC input reactor.   
7.3.2 Electromagnetic Interference and 
Installation Precautions
 There are two kinds of electromagnetic 
interferences, one is interference of 
electromagnetic noise in the surrounding 
environment on the inverter, and the other is 
interference of inverter on the surrounding 
equipment.   
Installation precautions:
