4.1 Protection of persons from electromagnetic 󹪝elds

Pro
tection of workers from electromagnetic 󹪝elds is speci󹪝ed in the European EMF Directive
2013/35/EU. This directive is implemented in national law in the European Economic Area (EEA).
Employers are obligated to design workplaces in such a way that workers are protected from
impermissibly strong electromagnetic 󹪝elds.
To this end, assessments and/or measurements must be performed for workplaces.
Requirement
The following general conditions apply for the evaluations and measurements:
1. The laws for protection from electromagnetic 󹪝elds in force in individual EU member states
can go beyond the minimum requirements of the EMF Directive 2013/35/EU and always take
precedence.
2. The ICNIRP2010 limits for the workplace are the basis for the assessment.
3. The 26th BImSchV (German Federal Emission Protection Regulation) de󹪝nes 100μT (RMS)
for the assessment of active implants.
According to Directive 2013/35/EU, 500µT (RMS) at 50Hz is applicable here.
4. The routing of power cables has a signi󹪝cant impact on the electromagnetic 󹪝elds that occur.
Install and operate the components inside metallic cabinets in compliance with the
documentation and use shielded motor cables (see "EMC-compliant installation
(Page88)").
Description
The converters are normally used in machines. The assessment and testing is based on
DINEN12198‑1 and IEC62311.
Compliance with the limit values was assessed for the following frequencies:
• Line frequency 47...63Hz
• 8kHz pulse frequency
