2. REGULATORY REFERENCES
These fans with EC drive systems are designed for incorporation in equipment, fulfilling the requirements
set by the
Machinery Directive (MD - Dir. 2006/42/EU), and those parts of the Low-Voltage Directive (Dir.
2014/35/EU) which are applicable in accordance with the MD, where it concerns electrical safety.
Electrical safety is generally achieved by application of the provisions of the
EN 60204-1 standard “Electrical
equipment of machines - General requirements”.
Such safety requirements are covered as far as necessary for a partly complete machine, sub-assembly or
component, as these fans are specifically intended for incorporation within other machines.
The responsibility for the mechanical and electrical safety of the installed fan is thus of the manufacturer of
the complete machine and, for this reason, it is strictly forbidden to put the fan in operation before the man-
ufacturer of the machine has assessed and declared that the complete machine fulfils all the essential safety
requirements set forth by the MD.
Please, check the Declaration of Incorporation which accompanies each product, or ask your
Nicotra Gebhardt
sales representative, for additional information.
2.1 Mechanical and electrical safety
Single-phase drive systems: RDP 1 kW, RDP 2 kW
The drivers of these products incorporate an Active Power Factor Control module, to provide harmonics filter-
ing and compliance with the EMC requirements applicable to domestic and equivalent environments (“first
environment”), or with the advanced requirements for harmonic distortion which often apply to data centers.
More specifically: they comply with the requirements set in:
EN 61000-6-3 – Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Part 6-3: Generic standards. Emission standard for
residential, commercial and light-industrial environments.
Three-phase drive systems: RDP 2.6 kW
The drivers of these products are provided with basic EMI filters only.
They are suitable for use in the “first environment”, under condition that they are incorporated into an
apparatus, system or installation, which is neither a plug-in device nor a movable device.
Such devices shall have to be installed and commissioned only by a professional.
More specifically: they comply with the requirements set in:
EN 61000-6-4 – Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Part 6-4: Generic standards - Emission standard for
industrial environments.
Three-phase drive systems: RDP 5.5 kW
The drivers of these products are provided with passive EMI filters.
They are suitable for use in the "first environment", under condition that they are incorporated into an
apparatus, system or installation, which is neither a plug-in device nor a movable device.
Such devices have to be installed and commissioned only by a professional.
More specifically: they comply with the requirements set in:
EN 61000-6-3 – Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Part 6-3: Generic standards. Emission standard for
residential, commercial and light-industrial environments.
2.2 Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC)
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the equipment or system into which the product
is incorporated complies with the EMC legislation of the country of use. Within the European Union,
the equipment into which this product is incorporated must comply with the essential requirements
of the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU.
