1.9 Unauthorised modes of operation
Never operate the product outside the limits stated in the data sheet and in this
manual.
The warranty relating to the operating reliability and safety of the product supplied
is only valid if the product is used in accordance with its intended use.
1.10 Software Changes
The software has been specially created for this product and thoroughly tested.
It is impermissible to make any changes or additions to the software or parts of the
software. Software updates supplied by KSB are excluded from this rule.
1.11 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
The Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2004/108/EC defines the requirements
concerning the interference immunity and interference emissions of electric and
electronic equipment.
1.11.1 Interference emission requirements
The EN61800-3 EMC product standard is relevant for electric variable speed drives/
control systems. It specifies all pertinent requirements and refers to the relevant
generic standards for complying with the EMC Directive.
Frequency inverters are commonly used by operators as a part of a system, plant or
machine assembly. It should be noted that the operator bears all responsibility for
the final EMC properties of the equipment, plant or installation.
A prerequisite or requirement for complying with the relevant standards or the limit
values and inspection/test levels referenced by them is that all information and
descriptions regarding EMC-compliant installation be observed and followed.
(ðSection7.4,Page33)
In accordance with the EMC product standard, the EMC requirements to be met
depend on the purpose or intended use of the frequency inverter. Four categories
are defined in the EMC product standard:
Table2: Categories of intended use
Category Definition Limits to EN55011
C1 Frequency inverters with a supply voltage under 1000V installed in the
first environment (residential and office areas).
Class B
C2 Frequency inverters with a supply voltage under 1000V installed in the
first environment (residential and office areas) that are neither ready to
be plugged in/connected nor are mobile and must be installed and
commissioned by specialist personnel.
Class A, Group 1
C3 Frequency inverters with a supply voltage under 1000V installed in the
second environment (industrial environments).
Class A, Group 2
C4 Frequency inverters with a supply voltage over 1000V and a nominal
current over 400A installed in the second environment (industrial
environments) or that are envisaged for use in complex systems.
No borderline/
boundary
1)
The following limit values and inspection/test levels must be complied with if the
generic standard on interference emissions applies:
Table3: Classification of installation environment
Environment Generic standard Limits to EN55011
First environment (residential and office areas) EN/IEC61000-6-3
for private, business and commercial
environments
Class B
Second environment (industrial environments) EN/IEC61000-6-4
for industrial environments
Class A, Group 1
The frequency inverter meets the following requirements:
1) An EMC plan must be devised.
