EMC compliance [t-head2]

The EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) of a device is its ability to withstand electrical interference (i.e. its immunity) while itself not emitting excessive electromagnetic interference into the environment.

The IEC/EN 61800-3 standard describes the limit values and test methods for emitted interference and noise immunity for variable-speed electrical drives (PDS = Power Drives System).

The tests and values are based not on individual components but on a typical complete drive system.

Measures for EMC-compliant installation are:

They are described in more detail below.
