3.2.1.1 Low Voltage Directive
The aim of the Low Voltage Directive is to protect persons, domestic animals and property against dangers caused by the electrical
equipment, when operating electrical equipment that is installed and maintained correctly, in its intended application. The directive
applies to all electrical equipment in the 50–1000 V AC and the 75–1500 V DC voltage ranges.
3.2.1.2 EMC Directive
The purpose of the EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) Directive is to reduce electromagnetic interference and enhance immunity
of electrical equipment and installations. The basic protection requirement of the EMC Directive states that devices that generate
electromagnetic interference (EMI), or whose operation could be affected by EMI, must be designed to limit the generation of elec-
tromagnetic interference and shall have a suitable degree of immunity to EMI when properly installed, maintained, and used as
