ACS 600 MultiDrive – Technical Data
A-38 ACS 600 MultiDrive
Disposal
ACx 600 contains raw materials that should be recycled to preserve
energy and natural resources. The packing materials of ACx 600 units
and options are environmentally compatible and recyclable. All metal
parts can be recycled. The plastic parts can either be recycled or
burned under controlled circumstances, according to local regulations.
If recycling is not feasible, all parts excluding electrolytic capacitors can
be landfilled. The DC capacitors of the unit contain electrolyte which is
classified as hazardous waste. They must be removed and handled
according to local regulations.
For further information on environmental aspects, please contact your
local ABB distributor.
CE Marking A CE mark is attached to ACS 600 MultiDrive frequency converters (380...690 V
ranges) to verify that the unit fulfils the European Low Voltage and EMC Directives
(Directive 73/23/EEC, as amended by 93/68/EEC and Directive 89/336/EEC, as
amended by 93/68/EEC).
Compliance with the
EMC Directive
EMC stands for E lectro m agnetic C ompatibility. It is the ability of electrical/electronic
equipment to operate without problems within an electromagnetic environment.
Likewise, the equipment must not disturb or interfere with any other product or system
within its locality.
The EMC Directive defines the requirements for immunity and emissions of electrical
equipment used in the European Economic Area. The EMC product standard EN
61800-3 covers the requirements stated for frequency converters.
The ACS 600 MultiDrive frequency converters comply with the EMC Directive in
industrial low-voltage network, public low-voltage network (restricted distribution) and
IT networks (unearthed mains) with the following provisions.
Industrial Low-Voltage
Network
1. It is ensured that no excessive emission is propagated to neighbouring low-
voltage networks. In some cases, the natural suppression in transformers and
cables is sufficient. If in doubt, the ACS 600 MultiDrive can be equipped with
EMC filtering (refer to Table A-1 below) or the supply transformer with static
screening between the primary and secondary windings can be used.
2. The ACS 600 MultiDrive is installed according to the instructions given in the
Hardware Manual (EN code 63700118).
3. The motor and control cables are selected as specified in the Hardware Manual
(EN code 63700118).
Note: It is recommended to equip the ACS 600 MultiDrive with the EMC filtering if there
is equipment sensitive to conducted emission connected to the same supply
transformer as the ACS 600 MultiDrive.
