D.2 European Standards

D.2 European Standards
Figure D.1
The CE mark indicates compliance with European safety and environmental regulations. It is required for engaging in
business and commerce in Europe.
European standards include the Machinery Directive for machine manufacturers, the Low Voltage Directive for
electronics manufacturers, and the EMC guidelines for controlling noise.
This drive displays the CE mark based on the EMC guidelines and the Low Voltage Directive.
• Low Voltage Directive: 2006/95/EC
• EMC Guidelines: 2004/108/EC
Devices used in combination with this drive must also be CE certified and display the CE mark. When using drives
displaying the CE mark in combination with other devices, it is ultimately the responsibility of the user to ensure
compliance with CE standards. After setting up the device, verify that conditions meet European standards.

◆ CE Low Voltage Directive Compliance

This drive has been tested according to European standard IEC61800-5-1, and it fully complies with the Low Voltage
Directive.
To comply with the Low Voltage Directive, be sure to meet the following conditions when combining this drive with
other devices:
Area of Use
■
Do not use drives in areas with pollution higher than severity 2 and overvoltage category 3 in accordance with IEC664.
Installing Fuses on the Input Side
■
Always install fuses at the drive input side. Refer to
Guarding Against Harmful Materials
■
When installing IP00 enclosure drives, use an enclosure that prevents foreign material from entering the drive from
above or below.
Grounding
■
The drive is designed to be used in T-N (grounded neutral point) networks. If installing the drive in other types of
grounded systems, contact your Yaskawa representative for instructions.

◆ EMC Guidelines Compliance

This drive is tested according to European standards EN61800-3: 2004, and complies with the EMC guidelines.
EMC Filter Installation
■
The following conditions must be met to ensure continued compliance with guidelines.
page 513 for EMC filter selection.
Installation Method
Verify the following installation conditions to ensure that other devices and machinery used in combination with this
drive also comply with EMC guidelines.
1.
Install an EMC noise filter to the input side specified by Yaskawa for compliance with European standards.
2.
Place the drive and EMC noise filter in the same enclosure.
3.
Use braided shield cable for the drive and motor wiring, or run the wiring through a metal conduit.
