ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC) KITS
ATV58 TRX drive controllers are marked with the CE European Community mark.
The ATV58 TRX drive controller is considered to be a component. It is neither a machine nor a piece of
equipment ready for use in accordance with the European Community directives (machinery directive
or electromagnetic compatibility directive). It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the machine
meets these standards.
Metal EMC plate kits are available for ATV58 TRX drive controllers to assist in meeting the European
Community EMC directives. The plate is used for landing the shield of the shielded cable. These kits are
for integrators and end-users who are including the drive controller as part of a machine to be exported
to Europe requiring compliance to these directives. When installed as directed in Instruction Bulletin
30072-450-04 (shipped with the kit), the requirements of EMC Directive Level A will be met. To achieve
Level B compliance, install an external RFI filter (see the following sections). See page 125 for EMC kit
dimensions.
EMC Kit Catalog Numbers
INTERNAL RFI FILTERS
The ATV58 TRX drive controller can be supplied with internal radio interference suppression input filters
to comply with the EMC “products” standards IEC 61800-3 and EN 61800-3 concerning variable speed
controllers. Compliance with these standards meets the requirements of the European directive on
EMC.
The following ATV58 TRX controllers are available without input filters for use in situations where EMC
conformity is not necessary:
• ATV58HU54N4 to ATV58HD79N4 drive controllers are available with or without integrated input
filters. If the catalog number includes an “X”, the drive controller does not have an integrated input
filter.
• ATV58HD16M2X to ATV58HD46M2X drive controllers are not available with integrated input filters.
The following ATV58 TRX drive controllers are always supplied with integrated input filters:
• ATV58 • U09M2 to ATV58 • D12M2 drive controllers; and
• ATV58 • U18N4 to ATV58 • U41N4 drive controllers.
EXTERNAL RFI FILTERS
External RFI input filters are available to meet the strictest requirements. These filters are designed to
reduce conducted emissions on the mains supply to below the limits of standards EN 55022 class B or
EN 55011 class A. The motor cable must be longer than 5 m (16 feet) for ATV58•U09M2 to
ATV58•D12M2 and ATV58•U18N4 to ATV58•D23N4 controllers, or 25 m (82 feet) for ATV58HD28N4 to
ATV58HD79N4 controllers.
External RFI filters are mounted beneath ATV58 TRX Type H controllers. They have tapped holes for
mounting the drive controller which they support. The filters are mounted to the side of ATV58 TRX Type
E controllers.
Because the filter needs a direct path to ground to work properly, RFI filters can only be used on
wiring systems with a neutral connected directly to ground. Do not use RFI filters on wiring
systems grounded through a high impedance or on systems with an isolated (floating) neutral.
