Assigning The Inverter To Emc Categories - Siemens PM240-2 Hardware Installation Manual

Technical data
7.7 Electromagnetic compatibility of the inverter
7.7.1

Assigning the inverter to EMC categories

The inverters have been tested in accordance with the EMC product standard EN 61800-3.
The declaration of conformity is available at Hotspot-Text
(http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/58275445)
Requirements for electromagnetic compatibility
To comply with the requirements of EN 61800-3, all drives must be installed in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions and EMC directives.
The EMC regulations are available at Hotspot-Text
(http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/58275445)
The installation must be performed by an expert who has the necessary experience for
installing and/or commissioning power drives, including their EMC aspects.
Second environment - category C4
The unfiltered inverters correspond to category C4.
EMC measures in the second environment, category C4, are carried out on the basis of an
EMC plan on the system level.
Further information:
Second environment - category C3
Immunity
With respect to their immunity, the inverters are suitable for the second environment,
Category C3.
Interference emission for filtered inverters
Inverters with integrated filter are suitable for use in the second environment, Category C3.
Interference emission for unfiltered inverters
If you are using unfiltered inverters in an industrial plant, you must either use an external
filter for the converter or install corresponding filters on the system level (conducted high-
frequency disturbance variables).
When installed professionally in accordance with EMC guidelines, the converters fulfill the
requirements of the standard in relation to category C3 (field-based high-frequency
disturbance variables).
Second environment - category C2
Inverters with integrated filter are suitable for use in the second environment, Category C2.
