documentation requirements are met, including precautions to be taken in order not to compromise the EMC characteristics of
the fixed installation.
BS EN 61800-3 defines the emissions and immunity levels for Power drive systems (PDS) and the main component parts of
such a system (Basic drive module and Complete drive module).
The standard defines specific categories of PDS:
PDS of Category C1
PDS of rated voltage less than 1000V, intended for use in the first environment
PDS of Category C2
PDS of rated voltage less than 1000V, which is neither a plug in device nor a movable device and, when used in the
first environment, is intended to be installed and commissioned only by a professional.
NOTE a professional is a person or organisation having necessary skills in installing and/or commissioning
power drive systems, including their EMC aspects.
PDS of Category C3
PDS of rated voltage less than 1000V, intended for use in the second environment and not intended for use in the first
environment
PDS of Category C4
PDS of rated voltage equal to or above 1000V, or rated current equal to or above 400A, or intended for use in
complex systems in the second environment
The AC890PX drive is generally a category C3 apparatus. Some of the equipments with higher ratings might be classified in
Category C4; but for certification, and as an aid to builders of complex system, the emission limits and immunity levels
associated with category C3 have been applied.
Parker SSD Drives' certification (DoC) is supported by tests undertaken in accordance with harmonised standard BS
EN61800-3
