This chapter explains the measures to comply with the EMC Directive, UL/CSA Standards, etc. by
introducing examples.
CE mark is put on all products of VF-AS3 to declare that they are in conformity with the requirements of
Low Voltage Directive and EMC Directive, also the products integrating the safety function are in
conformity with the requirements of machine directive as safety component.
The CE mark must be put on all machines and systems with built-in inverters because such machines and
systems are subject to the above directives. If they are final products, they might also be subject to the
Machinery Directive.
It is the responsibility of the manufacturers of such final products to put the CE mark on each final product.
In order to make machines and systems with built-in inverters comply with the EMC Directive and the Low
Voltage Directive, we recommend the installation method of inverters and measures for EMC Directive
described in this instruction manual.
We have tested representative models with them installed under the environment described later in this
manual to check for conformity with the EMC Directive. However, we cannot check the inverters under
your operating environment. EMC varies depending on the composition of the control panel with a built-in
inverter(s), the relationship with other built-in electrical components, the wiring condition, the layout
condition, and so on. Therefore, you need to verify yourself whether your machine and system conforms to
the EMC Directive.
9. 1. 1 Compliance with EMC Directive
The CE mark must be put on every final product that includes an inverter(s) and a motor(s). 480V class
inverters of VF-AS3 series are equipped with an EMC filter and comply with the EMC Directive if wiring
is carried out correctly.
The EMC standards are broadly divided into two categories; Emission and Immunity, each of which is
further categorized according to the operating environment of each individual machine as shown in the
table below. We consider that the tests required for machines and systems as final products are almost
the same as those required for inverters.
