CE Conformity
Conformity with the Low Voltage (LV) Directive and Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) Directive has been demonstrated using harmonized
European Norm (EN) standards published in the Official Journal of the
European Communities. PowerFlex Drives comply with the EN standards
listed below when installed according to this manual.
CE Declarations of Conformity are available online at:
http://www.ab.com/certification/ce/docs.
Low Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC)
• EN50178 Electronic equipment for use in power installations.
EMC Directive (89/336/EEC)
• EN61800-3 Adjustable speed electrical power drive systems Part 3:
EMC product standard including specific test methods.
General Notes
• The motor cable should be kept as short as possible in order to avoid
electromagnetic emission as well as capacitive currents.
• Use of line filters in ungrounded systems is not recommended.
• PowerFlex drives may cause radio frequency interference if used in a
residential or domestic environment. The user is required to take
measures to prevent interference, in addition to the essential
requirements for CE compliance listed below, if necessary.
• Conformity of the drive with CE EMC requirements does not guarantee
an entire machine or installation complies with CE EMC requirements.
Many factors can influence total machine/installation compliance.
• PowerFlex drives can generate conducted low frequency disturbances
(harmonic emissions) on the AC supply system.
