122 Technical data

Compliance with the European EMC Directive


The EMC Directive defines the requirements for immunity and emissions of electrical
equipment used within the European Union. The EMC product standard (EN 61800-
3:2004) covers requirements stated for drives. See section
3:2004 below.

Compliance with the European RoHS Directive


The RoHS Directive defines the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in
electrical and electronic equipment.

Compliance with the European Machinery Directive

The drive is an electronic product which is covered by the European Low Voltage
Directive. However, the drive includes the Safe torque off function and can be equipped
with other safety functions for machinery which, as safety components, are in the scope of
the Machinery Directive. These functions of the drive comply with European harmonized
standards such as EN 61800-5-2.

Compliance with EN 61800-3:2004

Definitions


EMC stands for Electromagnetic Compatibility. It is the ability of electrical/electronic
equipment to operate without problems within an electromagnetic environment. Likewise,
the equipment must not disturb or interfere with any other product or system within its
locality.
First environment includes establishments connected to a low-voltage network which
supplies buildings used for domestic purposes.
Second environment includes establishments connected to a network not supplying
domestic premises.
Drive of category C2: drive of rated voltage less than 1000 V and intended to be installed
and started up only by a professional when used in the first environment.
Note: A professional is a person or organization having necessary skills in installing and/or
starting up power drive systems, including their EMC aspects.
Drive of category C3: drive of rated voltage less than 1000 V and intended for use in the
second environment and not intended for use in the first environment.
Drive of category C4: drive of rated voltage equal to or above 1000 V, or rated current
equal to or above 400 A, or intended for use in complex systems in the second
environment.
