Chapter 7 EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility)

1ǃ The earth wires of the Inverter and 
other electric products shall be well 
grounded;   
2ǃ The power input and output power 
cables of the inverter and weak current 
signal cables (e.g. control line) shall 
not be arranged in parallel and vertical 
arrangement is preferable.   
3ǃ It is recommended that the output 
power cables of the inverter employ 
shield cables or steel pipe shielded 
cables and that the shielding layer be 
earthed reliably. The lead cables of the 
equipment suffering interferences are 
recommended to employ twisted-pair 
shielded control cables, and the 
shielding layer shall be earthed reliably.   
4ǃ When the length of motor cable is 
longer than 100 meters, it needs to 
install output filter or reactor.   
7.3.3Handling method for the 
interferences of the surrounding 
magnetic equipment on the inverter: 
The electromagnetic interference on 
the inverter is generated because plenty of 
relays, contactors and electromagnetic 
brakes are installed near the inverter.  
When the inverter has error action due to the 
interferences, the following measures can be 
taken:  
ǃ  Install surge suppressor on the 
devices generating interference; 
ǃ Install filter at the input end of the 
inverter. Refer to Section 7.3.6 for 
the specific operations.   
ǃ  The lead cables of the control signal 
cable of the inverter and the 
detection line employ shielded cable 
and the shielding layer shall be 
earthed reliably.   
7.3.4 Handling method for the 
interferences of inverter on the 
surrounding magnetic equipment:
These interferences include two types: 
one is radiation interference of the inverter, 
and the other is conduction interference of 
the inverter.   These two types of 
interferences cause the surrounding electric 
equipment to suffer electromagnetic or 
electrostatic induction.   The surrounding 
equipment hereby produces error action.  
For different interferences, it can be handled 
by referring to the following methods:   
1ǃ For the measuring meters, receivers 
and sensors, their signals are 
generally weak. If they are placed 
nearby the inverter or together with 
the inverter in the same control 
cabinet, they are easy to suffer 
interference and thus generate error 
actions. It is recommended to handle 
with the following methods: Put in 
places far away from the interference 
source; do not arrange the signal 
cables in parallel with the power 
cables and never bind them together; 
both the signal cables and power 
cables employ shielded cables and 
are well earthed; install ferrite 
magnetic ring (with suppressing 
frequency of 30 to 1,000MHz) at the 
output side of the inverter and wind it 
2 to 3 turns; install EMC output filter if 
the situation is terrible.
