FC101 Design Guide

The frequency converters built-in DC coils produce a high-
power factor, which minimizes the imposed load on the
mains supply.
1.8 Regulatory Compliance
Frequency converters are designed in compliance with the
directives described in this section.
1.8.1 CE Mark
The CE mark (Communauté Européenne) indicates that the
product manufacturer conforms to all applicable EU
directives. The EU directives applicable to the design and
manufacture of frequency converters are listed in Table 1.5.
NOTICE!
The CE mark does not regulate the quality of the
product. Technical specications cannot be deduced from
the CE mark.
NOTICE!
Frequency converters with an integrated safety function
must comply with the machinery directive.
EU directive Version
Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU
EMC Directive 2014/30/EU
ErP Directive
Table 1.5 EU Directives Applicable to Frequency Converters
Declarations of conformity are available on request.
1.8.1.1 Low Voltage Directive
The low voltage directive applies to all electrical
equipment in the 50–1000 V AC and the 75–1600 V DC
voltage ranges.
The aim of the directive is to ensure personal safety and
avoid property damage, when operating electrical
equipment that is installed and maintained correctly in its
intended application.
1.8.1.2 EMC Directive
The purpose of the EMC (electromagnetic compatibility)
directive is to reduce electromagnetic interference and
enhance immunity of electrical equipment and instal-
lations. The basic protection requirement of the EMC
Directive 2014/30/EU states that devices that generate
electromagnetic interference (EMI), or whose operation
could be aected by EMI, must be designed to limit the
generation of electromagnetic interference and shall have
a suitable degree of immunity to EMI when properly
installed, maintained, and used as intended.
Electrical equipment devices used alone or as part of a
system must bear the CE mark. Systems do not require the
CE mark, but must comply with the basic protection
requirements of the EMC directive.
1.8.1.3 ErP Directive
The ErP directive is the European Ecodesign Directive for
energy-related products. The directive sets ecodesign
requirements for energy-related products, including
frequency converters. The directive aims at increasing
energy eciency and the level of protection of the
environment, while increasing the security of the energy
supply. Environmental impact of energy-related products
includes energy consumption throughout the entire
product life cycle.
1.8.2 UL Compliance

NOTICE!
IP54 units are not certied for UL.
The frequency converter complies with UL 508C thermal
memory retention requirements. For more information,
refer to the section Motor Thermal Protection in the
product-specic design guide.
1.8.3 RCM Mark Compliance
Figure 1.3 RCM Mark
The RCM Mark label indicates compliance with the
applicable technical standards for Electromagnetic Compat-
ibility (EMC). An RCM Mark label is required for placing
electrical and electronic devices on the market in Australia
and New Zealand. The RCM Mark regulatory arrangements
only deal with conducted and radiated emission. For
