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 accord
-
ance 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 ma
-
chines - 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 manufacturer 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 filtering and compliance
with the EMC requirements applicable to domestic and equivalent environments (“first environment”), or with the advanced re
-
quirements 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 instal
-
lation, 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
which this product is incorporated must comply with the EMC Directive 2004/108/EC.
2.2 Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC)
Specific electrical safety and EMC standards are applied according to the available models of conformity declaration
(identified as 985732 and 985748):
EMC standards
61000-6-3

To improve the Electromagnetic compatibility a ferrite should be put on the power supply cable (close to the driver). The
compliancy to the standards is intended for a single fan. No tests have been made on multiple installations.
