scope:

This part of IEC 61800 specifies electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements for adjustable speed power drive systems (PDSs). A PDS is an AC or DC motor drive including an electronic converter. It also specifies EMC requirements for machine tools (MTs). Requirements are stated for AC and DC PDSs and MTs with input and/or output voltages (line-to-line voltage), up to 35 kV AC RMS. This document applies to equipment of all power ratings. As a product EMC standard, this document can be used for the assessment of PDS and MT. It can also be used for the assessment of complete drive modules (CDM) or basic drive modules (BDM). NOTE 1 - BDMs and CDMs are parts of the PDS which are often marketed separately. Traction applications and electric vehicles are excluded. Equipment which is defined as Group 2 in CISPR 11 is excluded. NOTE 2 - Examples of Group 2 equipment are: - welding equipment (arc welding, resistance welding, etc) - electro-discharge machining equipment (EDM). This standard does not give requirements for the electrical machine which converts power between the electrical and mechanical forms within the PDS. Requirements for rotating electrical machines are covered by the IEC 60034 series. In this standard, the term "motor" is used to describe the electrical machine, whether rotary or linear, and regardless of the direction of power flow.
