Product Stan-
dard.
If you use DV6 frequency inverters in European Union (EU) coun-
tries, you must observe the EMC Directive 89/336/EEC. The follo-
wing conditions must be observed to comply with this Directive:
Supply voltage (mains voltage) for the frequency inverter:
• Voltage fluctuation
g
10 % or less
• Voltage imbalance
g
3 % or less
• Frequency variation
g
4 % or less
If one of the conditions listed here cannot be fulfilled, you must
install an appropriate mains choke (

Section “Mains choke“ in
the appendix, Page 196).
EMC interference class
Installed according to the “EMC guidelines“ in Kapitel „Installa-
tion“, Page 21 and with the use of a radio interference filter, the
DV6 frequency inverters conform to the following standards:
• Emitted interference:
IEC/EN 61800-3 (EN 55011 group 1, class B)
• Noise immunity:
EN 61800-3, industrial environment
With frequency inverters, performance related and emitted interfe-
rence increases with the pulse frequency. The frequency at which
performance-related interference occurs also increases with longer
motor cables. When the assigned radio interference filter is used,
the EN 61800-3 standard is complied to as follows:
Noise immunity
Used with the assigned radio interference filters, the DV6
frequency inverters meet the interference immunity requirements
of the EMC Product Standard IEC/EN 61800
-
3 for industrial envi-
ronments (second environment) and for domestic use (first envi-
ronment).
A “domestic environment” is defined here as a connection point
(transformer feeder) to which domestic households are also
connected.
For industrial systems, the EMC Directive requires electromagnetic
compatibility with the environment as a whole. The Product Stan-
dard regards a typical drive system as a complete unit, i.e. the
combination of frequency inverter, cables and motor.
Emitted interference and radio interference suppression
Used with the assigned radio interference filters, the DV6
frequency inverters meet the requirements of the EMC Product
Standard IEC/EN 61800
-
3 for domestic use (first environment) and
therefore also for the higher limit values of industrial environments
(second environment).
To ensure compliance to the limit values, observe the following
points:
• Reduction of performance related interference with line filters
and/or radio interference filters including mains chokes
• Reduction of the electromagnetic emission interference by
screening motor cables and signal cables
• Compliance with installation requirements (EMC-compliant
installation).
