The EU Directives are issued to standardize different national regulations of the EU Member States and to facilitate free movement of the equipment, whose

safety is ensured, in the EU territory.

Since 1996, compliance with the EMC Directive that is one of the EU Directives has been legally required. Since 1997, compliance with the Low Voltage Directive,

another EU Directive, has been also legally required. When a manufacturer confirms its equipment to be compliant with the EMC Directive and the Low Voltage

Directive, the manufacturer must declare the conformity and affix the CE marking.

 EMC Directive

We declare that this inverter conforms with the EMC Directive and affix the CE marking on the inverter.

• EMC Directive: 2014/30/EU

• Standard(s): EN 61800-3:2004+A1:2012 (Second environment / PDS Category "C3")

• This inverter is not intended to be used on a low-voltage public network which supplies domestic premises. When using the inverter in a residential area, take

appropriate measures and ensure the conformity of the inverter used in the residential area.

• Radio frequency interference is expected if used on such a network.

• The installer shall provide a guide for installation and use, including recommended mitigation devices.

Note:

First environment

Environment including buildings/facilities which are directly connected to a low voltage main supply which also supplies residential buildings. Directly connected

means that there is no intermediate transformer between these buildings.

Second environment

Environment including all buildings/facilities which are not directly connected to a low voltage main supply which also supplies residential buildings.

 Note

Set the EMC filter valid and install the inverter and perform wiring according to the following instructions.

• This inverter is equipped with an EMC filter with a class C3. Enable the EMC filter. (For details, refer to the Instruction Manual (Detailed).)

• Connect the inverter to an earthed power supply.

• Install a motor and a control cable written in the EMC Installation Manual (BCN-A21041-204) and Technical News (MF-S-112, 113) according to the

instruction.

• To ensure sufficient function of the built-in EMC filter motor cable lengths should not be exceeded more then 20 m.

• Confirm that the inverter conforms with the EMC Directive as the industrial drives application for final installation.

 Low Voltage Directive

We have self-confirmed our inverters as products compliant to the Low Voltage Directive (Conforming standard EN 61800-5-1) and affix the CE marking on the

inverters.

 Outline of instructions

• Do not use an earth leakage current breaker as an electric shock protector without connecting the equipment to the earth. Connect the equipment to the

earth securely.

• Wire the earth terminal independently. (Do not connect two or more cables to one terminal.)

• Use the cable sizes on

• Surrounding air temperature: 40°C (104°F) maximum

If conditions are different from above, select appropriate wire according to EN 60204 and IEC 60364-5-52.

• Use a tinned (plating should not include zinc) crimp terminal to connect the earth (ground) cable. When tightening the screw, be careful not to damage the

threads.

For use as a product compliant with the Low Voltage Directive, use PVC cable whose size is indicated on

• Use the molded case circuit breaker and magnetic contactor which conform to the EN or IEC Standard.

• This product can cause a d.c. current in the protective earthing conductor. Where a residual current-operated protective (RCD) or monitoring (RCM)

device is used for protection in case of direct or indirect contact, only an RCD or RCM of Type B is allowed on the supply side of this product.

• Use the inverter under the conditions of overvoltage category II (usable regardless of the earth (ground) condition of the power supply), overvoltage

category III (usable with the earthed-neutral system power supply, 400 V class only) and pollution degree 2 or lower specified in IEC 60664. An insulating

transformer needs to be installed in the input side of the FR-A820 series inverters.

• To use the inverter of FR-A820-01540(30K) or higher and FR-A840-00770(30K) or higher (IP00) under the conditions of pollution degree 2, install it in

the enclosure of IP 2X or higher.

• To use the inverter under the conditions of pollution degree 3, install it in the enclosure of IP54 or higher.
