B.6 EMC regulations
The EMC product standard (EN 61800-3) describes the EMC requirements on VFDs.
Application environment categories
Category I: Civilian environments, including application scenarios where VFDs are directly connected
to the civil power supply low-voltage grids without intermediate transformers
Category II: All environments except those in Category I.
VFD categories
C1: Rated voltage lower than 1000 V, applied to environments of Category I.
C2: Rated voltage lower than 1000 V, non-plug, socket, or mobile devices; power drive systems that
must be installed and operated by specialized personnel when applied to environments of Category I.
Note: The EMC standard IEC/EN 61800-3 no longer restricts the power distribution of VFDs, but it
specifies their use, installation, and commissioning. Specialized personnel or organizations must have
the necessary skills (including the EMC-related knowledge) for installing and/or performing
commissioning on the electrical drive systems.
C3: Rated voltage lower than 1000 V, applied to environments of Category II. They cannot be applied
to environments of Category I.
C4: Rated voltage higher than 1000 V, or rated current higher or equal to 400 A, applied to complex
systems in environments of Category II.
