Second Environment; Machinery Directive - ABB ACS800-01 Hardware Manual

Second environment

The requirements of the EMC Directive can be met as follows:
1. The drive is equipped with EMC filter E200. The filter is suitable for TN (earthed) networks only.
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.
If the above listed provisions cannot be met, e.g., the drive cannot be equipped with EMC filter E200
when installed to an IT (unearthed) network, the requirements of the EMC Directive can be met as
follows for restricted distribution:
1. It is ensured that no excessive emission is propagated to neighbouring low-voltage networks. In
some cases, the natural suppression in transformers and cables is sufficient. If in doubt, a supply
transformer with static screening between the primary and secondary windings can be used.
2. An EMC plan for preventing disturbances is drawn up for the installation. A template is available
from the local ABB representative.
3. The motor and control cables are selected as specified in the Hardware Manual.
4. The drive is installed according to the instructions given in the Hardware Manual.

Machinery Directive

The drive complies with the European Union Machinery Directive (98/37/EC) requirements for an
equipment intended to be incorporated into machinery.
