Certification C-2890CS Common Bus Supply - Frames B & D; 890CD Common Bus Drive and 890SD Standalone Drive - Frames E & FWhat is the EMC Directive?(2004/108/EC)The EMC 1 Directive is one of a series of directives created to allow manufacturers to trade freely within theEEC territory. This is done by creating the CE mark , a "trade symbol" showing that requirements forsafety and health are met. These requirements (called "essential requirements") are those apparatus has tomeet to obtain the "presumption of conformity".The aim of the EMC Directive 2004/108/EC is to ensure that any electric, or electronic, device will createno more then a limited amount of RF interference so that other apparatus are not affected from functioningcorrectly. Also to ensure that an electric, or electronic, device will withstand a certain amount of ElectroMagnetic interference from other equipment.HistoryHistorically each European drives manufacture and importer interpreted the EMC directive and ‘CE’marking requirements differently.To provide a unified approach the European machines and drives manufactures, via their national tradeassociations have formed the ‘European Committee of Manufacturers of Electrical Machines and PowerElectronics’, termed CEMEP. Recommendations were produced by this committee for the application ofthe European Council Directives to power drive systems. These are to be followed by all major EuropeanDrives manufacturers.The “EMC Drive Product Specific Standard” EN 61800-3 was listed in the Official Journal of Europe onJanuary 1st 1997. This standard takes precedence over the Generics Standards. Working to the productstandard is a sensible approach to take to show EMC conformance.
