EMC GUIDELINES

1. EMC DIRECTIVE, INTERPRETATION CEMEP AND APPLICABLE

. .

STANDARDS’

The EMC directive marketable in the CEE must be electromagnetically compatible with the external world.

This means the equipment fairly immune to admissible environmental noise-levels and low emitting according to the allowed

Sales channels: Restricted Distribution Unrestricted Distribution (see Glossary) Installation environment Inherent function of the device: direct or indirect

Assembly: Professional Assembler

Obviously, the directive does not point out in detail neither the criterions which have to be applied in order to judge a device EM-compatible, nor the actions that have to be taken, in order to keep it in that way. That task is up to the Product Standard concerned with the product; if this would not exist or if the part concerning EMC had been missed, the product manufacturer must refer to the Generic Standard.

Therefore, being EMC conformant, does not mean high-immunity and low-emissions, but it implies the

adherence to the limits imposed by a product standard, which cannot foresee any limitation.

Seeing the wide range of products to which the directive refers and its legal nature, it became necessary for the manufacturers of products of the same typology, to give an interpretation of the directive, with no official value, but whose validity is linked with the acknowledgment of the association of some categories. (The only document recognized by CE is the directive).

points out that each electrical and electronical equipment

In case of Power Device Systems (PDS, including in this category both single-drives and systems, which are the

assembling of single device, composing a machine) there exists an interpretation, well-known as Document

CEMEP, recognized by the most important European association of categories: ANIE, GAMBICA, GIMELEC,

SETELI,

The document classifies the PDS in four validity fields (CEMEP Validity Fields, see attachment B) according to the above mentioned characteristics and it the following points:

It is not possible to apply the CE Mark concerning EMC Standard

It is not possible to draw up the Declaration of Conformity regarding EMC Standard

The responsibility of the EMC Standard is of the installer and not of the manufacturer (GE)

The producer (GE) is responsible for giving the installer all the necessary indications to keep the final product EMC conform.

CE marking and declaration of conformity, as known , are linked with the standard, who are referred. GE’s products show the mark and, as prescribed, in the handbooks it has been specified how this mark is conformed to the Low Voltage Directive, for which it has been also drawn up a declaration of conformity (see attachment A). Whenever the EMC Standard is concerned, the guidelines.

EMI

filters must be utilized and used according to installation

The product standard for the PDS, EN61800 (drawn up in and describes completely the prescriptions in terms of immunity and emissions for PDS.

In this standard it has been assigned the noise-levels to which the equipment must be submitted under the immunity test and the allowed emission limits.

On the whole the machine manufacturer, or GE customers, belong to the validity field CEMEP number 4 as “System /apparatus” and therefore they have the obligation of CE Mark and Declaration of Conformity.

The machine manufacturer has the responsability of EMC conformity. They have the right to receive all the necessary indications (filter, installation, etc.) in order to comply with EMC standard from the single component producers.

Almost all the products do not have product standard as far as EMC concerns and they have to refer to the

generic standards, which are EN50081-1 and 50081-2 as far as emissions in residential and industrial environments and

EN50082-1

These documents, as far as the radio-frequency emissions concern, refer to the specific standard EN55011 which define the emissions limits in industrial environment (class A limits) and residential (class B limits).

This is why, despite the less restrictive limitation imposed by the product standard refer to the limits EN5501 1-A and B, as far as the radio-frequency emissions are concerned.

As far as the radio-frequency emissions are concerned, in the between First and Second Environment, stating that the equipment has to be connected to a low-voltage

mains supply whether public or industrial, which could also supply domestics buildings.

For the first Environment, assuming that the mains is less than 500V of the type

protection. In these cases the safety precautions have priority on the EMC ones: it is advisable to call the

technical support service. In case of Restricted Distribution the limits are equal to the class A ones of Standard EN5501 1, while in case of Unrestricted Distribution equal to class B for devices with rated current less than 25A and class A for higher current.

Regarding the second Environment (A), which is the most frequently notable case, the limits are not defined

yet. As already anticipated in the conclusion at the first section, it is to refer to the limits, defined by the

curves A-B of standard EN5501 1.

In general, to have GE equipment in its limits, whether class A or B, it would be necessary both additional

devices (filters) and the respect of strict installation rules: in the next two paragraphs it will be given either

a guide to the selection of filters according to the type of the device, the cable-length between device and motor and the size of the device and a list of rules in order to obtain an installation in accordance with EMC additioned with sample diagrams.

Both for the conducted and for the radiated emissions the relative measurements have been made, in order to compare GE’s device to the prescribed limits, using the suitable filters and following the prescribed rules.

FILTERS

According to the application (installing environment and specification, in particular the length of motor cables), the EM1 filters are being selected between the two available series:

ECF series for the applications of

FN, Compact, Ranger or S-.... series for the applications of

plant (see table 1)

4.1 ECF FILTERS

ECF filters are needed for

motor cable length less then 20 m for 3015 device size and higher

motor cable length less then 100 m for device size up to 3011.

Applications that require long motor cable length (greater than 20 m) or residential installation environment,

will be satisfied by the FN, Compact, Ranger or S-.... filters.

The EFC filters are parallel connected on the supply line of the device. The some kind of filter can be used for both converter and inverter. For multi-drive applications, it is enough to

use only one filter, which should be connected to the incoming line before all mains chokes, sized for the total power rating of all units fed.

ECF filters are connected before the main choke.

ECF filters are available in two versions:

EMI-FN filters, are high attenuation filters for generic applications, which can cover also the

applications during particular environmental conditions (residential) or plant (motor cables very long associated to high-sized inverters).

EMI-FN filters are series-wired on the supply line of the device (see further insertion diagrams), so they have to be sized, according to the load current of the device.
