For compliance with the protection ob-
jectives of the German EMC Act (EMVG)
in systems and machines, the following
EMC standards must be satisfied:
Product Standard EN 61800-3
EMC standard for drive systems (Pow-
erDriveSystem), interference immunity
and emissions in residential areas,
enterprise zones with light industry and
in industrial facilities.
This standard must be complied with in
the EU for satisfying the EMC require-
ments for systems and machines!

Operation with separate power converter transformer. If there
are other loads at the same secondary winding, these must be
able to cope with the commutation gaps caused by the power
converter. In some cases, commutating reactors will be
required.
Specialised basic standard for emissions in light industry
can be satisfied with special features (mains filters,
screened power cables) in the lower rating range *(EN 50081-1).
Specialised basic standard for emissions in industry *(EN 50081-2)
Specialised basic standard for interference immunity in
residential areas *(EN 50082-1)
Specialised basic standard for interference immunity in
industry. If this standard is satisfied, then the EN 61000-6-1
standard is automatically satisfied as well *(EN 50082-2)

Classification
The following overview
utilises the terminology and
indicates the action required
in accordance with Product
Standard EN 61800-3.
For the DCS550 series,
the limit values for emitted
interference are complied
with, provided the measure
indicated is carried out. PDS
of category C2 (formerly
restricted distribution in first
environment) is intended to
be installed and commis-
sioned only by a professional
(person or organization with
necessary skills in installing
and/or commissioning PDS
including their EMC aspects).
For power converters without
additional components, the
following warning applies:
This is a product of category
C2 under IEC 61800-3:2004.
In a domestic/residential
environment this product
may cause radio interference
in which case supplementary
mitigation measures my be
required.
The field supply is not depict-
ed in this overview diagram.
For the field current cables,
the same rules apply as for
the armature-circuit cables.
