Regulatory Agencies

The E-AC Drive is designed to meet the requirements of global regulatory agencies.

The E-AC Drive 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-AC Drive is technically considered a motion control component and is therefore not within the scope of the European Union’s CE (Conformité Europé enne) 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-AC Drive 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
