CE Conformity
Compliance with the Low Voltage Directive and Electromagnetic Compatibility
Directive has been demonstrated by using harmonized European Norm (EN)
standards, references to which have been published in the Official Journal of the
European Communities. PowerFlex DC drives comply with the EN standards
listed here when installed according to this User Manual.
EU Declarations of Conformity are available online at:
Low Voltage Directive
•
EN 50178 Electronic equipment for use in power installations.
EMC Directive
•
EN 61800-3 Adjustable speed electrical power drive systems Part 3: EMC
product standard including specific test methods.
General Considerations
• For CE compliance, the drive installation must satisfy requirements that are
related to both EN 50178 and EN 61800-3 provided in this document.
• PowerFlex DC drives comply with the EMC requirements of EN 61800-3
when installed according to good EMC practices and the instructions that are
provided in this document. However, many factors can influence the EMC
compliance of an entire machine or installation, and compliance of the drive
itself does not ensure compliance of all applications.
• PowerFlex DC drives are not intended to be used on public low-voltage
networks that supply domestic premises. Without additional mitigation,
radio frequency interference is expected if used on such a network. The
installer is responsible to take measures such as supplementary line filters and
enclosures to prevent interference, in addition to the installation requirements
of this document.
• PowerFlex DC drives generate notching and harmonic current emissions on
the AC supply system. When operated on a public low-voltage network, it is
the responsibility of the installer or user to be sure that applicable
requirements of the distribution network operator have been met.
ATTENTION: PowerFlex DC drives can produce DC current in the protective
earthing conductor, which can reduce the ability of residual current-operated
protective devices (RCD) or residual current-operated monitoring devices (RCM),
of type A or AC, to provide protection for other equipment in the installation.
