Appendix B: Standards Compliance
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Guidelines Compliance
Figure B-1: CE Mark
The CE mark indicates compliance with European safety and environmental regulations. It is required for engaging
in business and commerce in Europe.
European standards include the Machinery Directive for machine manufacturers, the Low Voltage Directive for
electronics manufacturers, and the EMC guidelines for controlling noise.
This VFD displays the CE mark based on the EMC guidelines and the Low Voltage Directive.
• Low Voltage Directive: 2014/35/EU
Devices used in combination with this VFD must also be CE certified and display the CE mark. When using VFDs
displaying the CE mark in combination with other devices, it is ultimately the responsibility of the user to ensure
compliance with CE standards. After setting up the device, verify that conditions meet European standards.
575V class VFDs (5xxx-G+/VG+S4 models) are not compliant with European Standards.
EMC Guidelines Compliance
This VFD is tested according to European standards IEC/EN 61800-3:2004/A1:2012 and it complies with the EMC
directive 2014/30/EU.
Since the device is intended exclusively for commercial applications, it is not subject to the requirements of the EN
61000-3-2 standard for the emission of harmonic current emissions.
In a residential environment, this device may cause high-frequency interference, which requires interference
suppression. If the device is used in this environment, make sure that an EMC expert carries out the installation
and commissioning.
EMC Filter Installation
The following conditions must be met to ensure continued compliance with guidelines. See EMC Filters on
page 248 for EMC filter selection.
Installation Method
Verify the following installation conditions to ensure that other devices and machinery used in combination with this
VFD also comply with EMC guidelines.
1. Install an EMC noise filter to the input side specified by Magnetek for compliance with European standards.
2. Place the VFD and EMC noise filter in the same enclosure.
3. Use braided shield cable for the VFD and motor wiring, or run the wiring through a metal conduit.
4. Keep wiring as short as possible. Ground the shield on both the VFD side and the motor side.
