Emc Measures - Eaton H-Max Series Installation Manual

The leakage current to ground is greater than 3.5 mA with a
frequency inverter. Based on the requirements of EN 50178,
an increased ground (PE) has to be connected. The cable
cross-section must be at least 10 mm
separately connected ground cables.
Residual current circuit breakers must be suitable for:
the protection of installations with DC current component
●
in case of fault scenario (RCD type B)
high leakage currents (300 mA)
●
brief discharges of pulse current spikes
●
Input Contactor
The input contactor enables an operational switching on and
off of the supply voltage for the frequency inverter, and
switching off in case of a fault.
The input contactor is designed based on the input current
(I LN ) of the frequency inverter and the utilization category
AC-1 (IEC 60947). Input contactors and the assignment to
H-Max frequency inverters are explained in the appendix.
While planning the project, make sure that inching operation
is not done via the input contactor of the frequency inverter
on frequency-controlled drives, but through a controller input
of the frequency inverter.
The maximum permitted operating frequency of the input
voltage with the H-Max frequency inverter is one time per
minute (normal operation).

EMC Measures

Electrical components in a system (machine) have a
reciprocal effect on each other. Each device not only emits
interference but is also affected by it. The interference can
be produced by galvanic, capacitive, and/or inductive
sources, or by electromagnetic radiation. In practice, the limit
between line-conducted interference and emitted
interference is around 30 MHz. Above 30 MHz, cables and
conductors act like antennas that radiate electromagnetic
waves.
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) for frequency controlled
drives (variable speed drives) is implemented in accordance
with product standard IEC/EN 61800-3. This includes the
complete power drive system (PDS), from the input supply to
the motor, including all components, as well as cables (see
figure on Page 1 ). This type of drive system can consist of
several individual drives.
The generic standards of the individual components in a PDS
compliant with IEC/EN 61800-3 do not apply. These
component manufacturers, however, must offer solutions
that ensure standards-compliant use.
In Europe, maintaining the EMC guidelines is mandatory.
A declaration of conformity (CE) always refers to a "typical"
power drive system (PDS). The responsibility to comply with
the legally stipulated limit values and thus the provision of
electromagnetic compatibility is ultimately the responsibility
of the end user or system operator. This operator must also
take measures to minimize or remove emission in the
environment concerned (see figure below). He must also use
means to increase the interference immunity of the devices
of the system.
With their high interference immunity up to category C2,
H-Max frequency inverters are ideal for use in commercial
networks (1st environment).
