E-AC Drive Hardware Installation Guide Appendix B – Regulatory Compliance: UL and CE
Regulatory Agencies
The E-ACDrive is designed to meet the requirements of global regulatory
agencies.
The E-ACDrive has shown compliance with the regulatory agencies in the
following list. The list also shows additional steps users must take to ensure
compliance.
Agency Additional Steps User Must Take
UL, cUL No additional steps are required. (The E-AC Drive is UL recognized, as
shipped from the factory.)
CE (LVD) Earth connection for drive and motor (if applicable), proper installation
CE (EMC) Varistors, mains filter, EMC cabling, EMC ready motor, proper installation
Installation Instructions
Although the E-ACDrive is technically considered a motion control component
and is therefore not within the scope of the European Union’s CE (Conformité
Européenne) directives, Compumotor has taken the initiative to provide its
customers with easy to integrate motion control products that meet global require-
ments.
The following constitutes what is typically required to install the E-ACDrive into
a CE compliant system. Additional installation measures may be required at some
locations. The machine builder has ultimate responsibility for machine compli-
ance.
Low Voltage Directive (LVD) Installation Requirements:
•Drive safety earth conductor
•Motor safety earth
•Drive must be installed such that the hazardous live terminals (barrier strip) are not
accessible under normal operation
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Installation Requirements:
•Product does not need to be placed within an enclosure
•Mains filter (see filter recommendations)
•Transient suppressors (mains surge test)
•EMC cabling, braided and bonded as specified below
•EMC ready motor, or motor with EMC installation information
•Additional installation hardware as shown in drawings in this appendix
Additional Steps to Ensure Compliance
To meet the requirements of regulatory agencies, you must follow the installation
guidelines presented below.

EMC – Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive – 89/336/EEC

In order to meet the requirements of the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive
89/336/EEC, the entire system must comply: motor, drive, cabling, and peripher-
als. The installation of the product must include the following items.
