CE marking

A CE mark is attached to the drive to verify that the unit follows the provisions of the European Low
Voltage and EMC Directives (Directive 73/23/EEC, as amended by 93/68/EEC and Directive 89/336/
EEC, as amended by 2004/108EC).

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
commissioned only by a professional when used in the first environment. Note: A professional is
a person or organisation having necessary skills in installing and/or commissioning 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.

Compliance with the 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.

Compliance with the EN 61800-3 (2004)

First environment (drive of category C2)

The drive complies with the standard with the following provisions:
1. The drive is equipped with EMC filter +E202.
2. The motor and control cables are selected as specified in the Hardware Manual.
3. The drive is installed according to the instructions given in the Hardware Manual.
4. Maximum cable length is 100 metres.
WARNING! The drive may cause radio interference if used in a residential or domestic environment.
The user is required to take measures to prevent interference, in addition to the requirements for CE
compliance listed above, if necessary.
Note: It is not allowed to install a drive equipped with EMC filter +E202 on IT (unearthed) systems. The
supply network becomes connected to earth potential through the EMC filter capacitors which may
cause danger or damage the unit.
