REXROTH EFC 3600 - EMC Measures for Design and Installation; Rules for Design of Installations with Drive Controllers in Compli- Ance with EMC

● wiring and installation
In addition, the required measures depend on the requirements of electric safe-
ty technology and economic efficiency in the application.
In order to prevent interference as far as possible, notes on mounting and instal-
lation are contained in the application manuals of the components and in this
documentation.
Cases to Distinguish for Declaration of EMC Conformity
For validity of the harmonized standards, we distinguish the following cases:
● Case 1: Delivery of the drive system.
According to the regulations, EFC 3600 drive system is complied with product
standard EN 61800-3 C3 (with internal EMC filters) or EN 61800-3 C1 (with
external EMC filters). The drive system is listed in the declaration of EMC
conformity. This fulfills the legal requirements according to EMC directive.
● Case 2: Acceptance test of a machine or installation with the installed drive
systems.
The product standard for the respective type of machine/installation, if exist-
ing, applies to the acceptance test of the machine or installation. In the last
years, some new product standards were created at present.
These new product standards contain references to the product standard EN
61800-3 for drives or specify higher-level requirements demanding increased fil-
ter and installation efforts. When the machine manufacturer wants to put the
machine/installation into circulation, the product standard relevant to his ma-
chine/ installation has to be complied with for his end product “machine/instal-
lation”. The authorities and test laboratories responsible for EMC normally refer
to this product standard.
This documentation specifies the EMC properties which can be achieved, in a
machine or installation, with a drive system consisting of the standard compo-
nents.
It also specifies the conditions under which the indicated EMC properties can
be achieved.

EMC Measures for Design and Installation
11.3.1 Rules for Design of Installations with Drive Controllers in Com-
pliance with EMC
The following rules are the basics for designing and installing drives in compli-
ance with EMC:
Mains Filter
Correctly use a mains filter recommended by Rexroth for radio interference sup-
pression in the supply feeder of the drive system.
