  • Page 15: Ce Labeling

    Adjustable frequency drives must be CE-labeled in accordance with the Low-voltage Directive of January 1, 1997. The directive applies to all electrical equipment and appliances used in the 50–1,000 V AC and the 75 –1,500 V DC voltage ranges. Danfoss CE labels in accordance with the directive and issues a declaration of conformity upon request.
  • Page 16 Danfoss CE labels the adjustable frequency drives in accordance with the low-voltage directive.
