10.15.2 Emission Requirements
According to the EMC product standard for AC drives, EN/IEC 61800-3:2004, the EMC requirements depend on the intended use of
the drive. Four categories are defined in the EMC product standard. The definitions of the 4 categories together with the require-
ments for mains supply voltage conducted emissions are given in
.

C1
Drives installed in the 1

environment (home and office) with a supply voltage less
than 1000 V.
Class B
C2
Drives installed in the 1
st
environment (home and office) with a supply voltage less
than 1000 V, which are neither plug-in nor movable and are intended for installation
and commissioning by a professional.
Class A Group 1
C3
Drives installed in the 2
nd
environment (industrial) with a supply voltage lower than
1000 V.
Class A Group 2
C4
Drives installed in the 2
nd
environment (industrial) with a supply voltage equal to or
above 1000 V or rated current equal to or above 400 A or intended for use in complex
systems.
No limit line. Make an EMC
plan.
When the generic emission standards are used, the drives are required to comply with the limits in

According to the EMC Directive, a system is defined as a combination of several types of equipment, finished products, and/or
components combined, designed and/or put together by the same person (system manufacturer) intended to be placed on the
market for distribution as a single functional unit for an end user and intended to be installed and operated together to perform a
specific task. The EMC directive applies to products/systems and installations, but in case the installation is built up of CE marked
products/systems the installation can also be considered compliant with the EMC directive. Installations shall not be CE marked.
According to the EMC Directive, Danfoss Drives as a manufacturer of product/systems is responsible for obtaining the essential
requirements of the EMC directive and attaching the CE mark. For systems involving load sharing and other DC terminals, Danfoss
Drives can only ensure compliance to EMC Directive when end users connect combinations of Danfoss Drives products as descri-
bed in our technical documentation.
If any third-party products are connected to the load share or other DC terminals on the AC drives, Danfoss Drives cannot guaran-
tee that the EMC requirements are fulfilled.
10.15.3 Immunity Requirements
The immunity requirements for drives depend on the environment in which they are installed. The requirements for the industrial
environment are higher than the requirements for the home and office environment. All Danfoss VLT® drives comply with the re-
quirements for the industrial environment and therefore also comply with the lower requirements for home and office environment
with a large safety margin.
