BS EN 61800-3:1997 Adjustable speed electrical power drive systems - Part 3. EMC product standard including specific test methods

This International Standard specifies electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements for power drive
systems (PDSs). These are adjustable speed a.c. or d.c. motor drives. Requirements are stated for PDSs
which are connected to mains supplies with a rated voltage of up to 1 000 V a.c. r.m.s. For supply voltages
higher than 1 000 V a.c. r.m.s. EMC requirements are under consideration and, until a new publication is
produced, they will result from agreement between manufacturer/supplier and user.
PDSs covered by this standard are those installed in industrial and residential environments with the
exception of traction applications and electric vehicles. PDSs may be connected to either industrial or
public power distribution networks. Industrial networks are supplied by a dedicated distribution
transformer, which is usually adjacent to or inside the industrial location, and supplies only industrial
customers. On the other hand, PDSs can be directly connected to low-voltage public mains networks which
also supply domestic premises, and in which the neutral is generally earthed (grounded).
PDSs covered by this standard are often included in a larger system, the system aspect is not covered by
this standard, but guidance is provided in the informative annexes.
The requirements have been selected so as to ensure an adequate level of electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC) for PDSs in industrial and public locations. The levels cannot, however, cover extreme cases which
are most unlikely to occur. Changes in the EMC behaviour of a PDS, as a result of fault conditions, are not
taken into account.
