F ig u r e D.1 C E M ark
The CE mark indicates compliance with European safety and environmental regulations. It is required for engaging in
business and commerce in Europe.
European standards include the Machinery Directive for machine manufacturers, the Low Voltage Directive for
electronics manufacturers, and the EMC guidelines for controlling noise.
This drive displays the CE mark based on the EMC guidelines and the Low Voltage Directive.
•
Low Voltage Directive:
2006/95/EC
•
EMC Guidelines:
2004/108/EC
Devices used in combination with this drive must also be CE certified and display the CE mark. When using drives
displaying the CE mark in combination with other devices, it is ultimately the responsibility of the user to ensure
compliance with CE standards. After setting up the device, verify that conditions meet European standards.
♦ CE Low Voltage Directive Compliance
This drive has been tested according to European standard IEC61800-5-1, and it fully complies with the Low Voltage
Directive.
To comply with the Low Voltage Directive, be sure to meet the following conditions when combining this drive with
other devices:
■ Area of Use
Do not use drives in areas with pollution higher than severity 2 and overvoltage category 3 in accordance with IEC664.
■ Factory Recommended Branch Circuit Protection
Always install fuses at the drive input side. Refer to
Input Fuses on page 310
for selecting fuses.
■ Grounding
The drive is designed to be used in T-N (grounded neutral point) networks. If installing the drive in other types of
grounded systems, contact your Yaskawa representative for instructions.
♦ EMC Guidelines Compliance
This drive is tested according to European standards EN61800-3: 2004, and complies with the European standards
EN12015 (requires an optional AC reactor) and EN12016.
N o te: M ake sure the protective earthing conductor complies w ith technical standards and local safety regulations. Because the leakage
current exceeds 3.5 m A w hen an EM C filter is installed, IEC 61800-5-1 states that either the pow er supply must be autom atically
disconnected in case o f discontinuity o f the protective earthing conductor or a protective earthing conductor w ith a cross-section
o f at least 10 mm2 (C u) or 16 mm2 (A l) m ust be used.
■ EMC Filter Installation
The following conditions must be met to ensure continued compliance with European standards EN12015 and EN12016.
Refer to EMC Filters on page 401
for EMC filter selection.
