Product standard EN 61800–3 outlines the EMC requirements for variable-speed drive
systems. It specifies requirements for converters with operating voltages of less than 1000 V.
Different environments and categories are defined depending on where the drive system is
installed.

Definition of the first and second environments
First environment Residential buildings or locations at which the drive system is connected to
a public low-voltage supply network without a transformer.
Second environment Industrial locations supplied by a medium-voltage network via a separate
