14. Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

14.1 General

In accordance with the provisions described in the European Commission Guidelines Document on Council Directive
89/336/EEC, GE Fuji has chosen to classify the AF-300 P11 range of Drives as "Complex Components".
Classification as a "Complex Components" allows a product to be treated as an "apparatus", and thus permits
compliance with the essential requirements of the EMC Directive to be demonstrated to both an integrator of AF-300
P11 drives and to his customer or the installer and the user.
AF-300 P11 drive is supplied 'CE-marked', signifying compliance with EC Directive 89/336/EEC when fitted with
specified filter units installed and earthed in accordance with this sheet.
This Specification requires the following performance criteria to be met.
EMC product standard EN61800-/13/1997
Immunity: Second environment (Industrial environment)
Emision:
Finally, it is the customer's responsibility to check whether the equipment conforms to EMC directive.

14.2 Recommended Installation Instructions

It is necessary that to conform to the EMC Directive, these instructions must be followed.
Follow the usual safety procedures when working with electrical equipment. All electrical connections to the filter,
Drive and motor must be made by a qualified electrical technician.
1) Use the correct filter according to Table on page 6-39.
2) Install the Drive and filter in the electrically shielded metal wiring cabinet.
3) The back panel of the wiring cabinet should be prepared for the mounting dimensions of the filter. Care should be
taken to remove any paint etc. from the mounting holes and face area of the panel. This will ensure the best
possible grounding of the filter.
4) Use the shield cable for the control , motor and other main wiring which are connected to the Drive. These shields
should be securely grounded.
5) It is important that all wire lengths are kept as short as possible and that incoming mains and outgoing motor
cables are kept well separated.
" To minimize the conducted radio disturbance in the power distribution systems, the length of the motor-cable should
be as short as possible. "
6) In the case where a ferrite ring is provided with the filter, fit the ferrite ring so the conductors pass through the
center of the ferrite. Wire the cable according to Fig.6 or Fig.7 , paying attention to the applied Drive type.
