<strong>SIMOVERT</strong> <strong>MASTERDRIVES</strong> <strong>Vector</strong> <strong>Control</strong>Engineering InformationElectromagnetic compatibility (EMC)Compact and chassis unitsCabinet unitsEMC stands for electromagneticcompatibility and,according to the definitionof the EMC directive, describesthe “ability of a deviceto function satisfactorilyin an electromagnetic environmentwithout itself causingelectromagnetic interferencewhich is unacceptablefor other devices in this environment.”Inorder to ensurethat the relevant EMC standardsare complied with, thedevices must demonstratea sufficiently high immunity,on the one hand, and interferenceemission must belimited to compatible values,on the other.The product standard,EN 61 800-3, relevant to“variable-speed drives”describes the requirementsfor residential and industrialsectors.Type of interferenceElectrostatic dischargeImmunityThe units satisfy the requirementsof the EMC productstandard, EN 61 800-3, forthe industrial sector and thusthe lower values regardingimmunity required by theresidential sector as well.Interference emission andradio interferencesuppressionIf converters are used in aresidential area, conductedinterference or electromagneticallyemitted interferencemust not exceed thelimit values according to“B1”.Level ofinterferenceup to 12 kVCommentsRapid transient interference (burst) up to 4 kV for power sectionup to 2 kVfor signal cablesA residential area in thissense is a connection, i.e.an outgoing section of atransformer, to which privatehouseholds are also connected.The EMC directive requiresthat an industrial system as awhole is electromagneticallycompatible with its environment.In order to limit the interferenceemission, the followingmeasures must be provided: Radio-interference suppressionfilters, includingline commutating reactorsfor reducing the conductedinterference Shielded cables for motorsupply cables and signalcables for reducing electromagneticallyemitted interference Compliance with the installationguidelines.In systems with MASTER-DRIVES units and other components,e.g. contactors,switches, monitoring units,automation units etc., itmust be ensured that nointerference is emitted tothe outside and also that theindividual units do not causeany interference amongthemselves. In this respect,the measures described inthe Compendium, Section 3,“Design of Drives inConformance with EMCguidelines” are to be implemented(Compendium OrderNo., see Section 5 “Documentationand Training”).The most important of thesemeasures are as follows: The components of a systemmust be housed in acabinet which acts like aFaraday cage. Signal cables and motorsupply cables must beshielded. The shields mustbe connected to earth atboth ends. Signal cables should bespatially separated (atleast 20 cm) from thepower cables. If necessary,screening plates are to beprovided.For further measures anddetails, see the installationguidelines referred to.66/46Siemens DA 65.10 · 2003/2004
