Figure4-2 Example of the EMC zones of a plant or machine
Inside the control cabinet
• Zone A: Line supply connection
• Zone B: Power electronics
Devices in ZoneB generate energy-rich electromagnetic elds.
• Zone C: Control and sensors
Devices in Zone C do not generate any energy-rich electromagnetic elds themselves, but
their functions can be impaired by electromagnetic elds.
Outside the control cabinet
• Zone D: Motors, braking resistors
Devices in ZoneD generate electromagnetic elds with a signicant amount of energy
4.2.1 Control cabinet
• Assign the various devices to zones in the control cabinet.
• Electromagnetically uncouple the zones from each other by means of one of the following
actions:
– Side clearance ≥ 25cm
– Separate metal enclosure
– Large-area partition plates
• Route cables of various zones in separate cable harnesses or cable ducts.
• Install lters or isolation ampliers at the interfaces of the zones.
