EN IEC 61800-3:2023 specifies electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements for adjustable speed power drive systems (PDSs) and machine tools (MTs). A PDS is an AC or DC motor drive including an electronic converter. Requirements are stated for AC and DC PDSs and MTs with input and/or output voltages (line-to-line voltage), up to 35 kV AC RMS. This document applies to equipment of all power ratings.
As a product EMC standard, this document can be used for the assessment of PDS and MT. It can also be used for the assessment of complete drive modules (CDM) or basic drive modules (BDM).
Traction applications and electric vehicles are excluded. Equipment which is defined as group 2 in CISPR 11:2015 is excluded.
This document does not give requirements for the electrical machine which converts power between the electrical and mechanical forms within the PDS. Requirements for rotating electrical machines are covered by the IEC 60034 series. In this document, the term "motor" is used to describe the electrical machine, whether rotary or linear, and regardless of the direction of power flow.
This document is applicable to BDMs, CDMs, PDSs and MTs with or without radio function. However, this document does not specify any radio transmission and reception requirements.
This document defines the minimum requirements for emission and immunity in the frequency range from 0 Hz to 400 GHz. Tests are not required in frequency ranges where no requirements are specified.
BDMs, CDMs, PDSs and MTs covered by this document are those installed in residential, commercial and industrial locations. Requirements are given according to the environment classification.
BDMs, CDMs and PDSs are often included in a larger system. The system aspects are not covered by this document, but guidance is provided in the informative annexes.
This document is intended as a complete product EMC standard for the EMC conformity assessment of products. As a product EMC standard for BDMs, CDMs, PDSs and MTs, according to IEC Guide 107, this document takes precedence over all aspects of the generic standards.
