DANSK DS/EN 61800-3 PDF

This part of 61800 specifies electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements for power drive systems (PDSs). A PDS is defined in 3.1. These are adjustable speed a.c. or d.c. motor drives. Requirements are stated for PDSs with converter input and/or output voltages (line-to-line voltage), up to 35 kV a.c. r.m.s. PDSs covered by this standard are those installed in residential, commercial and industrial locations 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 dedecated distribution transformer, which is usually adjacent to or inside the industrial location, and supplies only industrial customers. Industrial networks can also be supplied by their own electric generating equipment. 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). The scope of this part of IEC 61800, related to EMC, includes a broad range of PDSs from a few hundred watts to hundreds of megawatts. PDSs are often included in a larger system. The system aspect is not covered by this standard but guidance is provided in the informative annexes.
