Electrical power drive systems with variable speed – Part 5-1:
Requirements regarding safety – electrical, thermal, and en-
ergy requirements
UL listing

cUL, in compliance with UL508C. UL list numbers E121068 and
E192450.
For use in environment with contamination degree 2.

Machinery directive
The devices are suitable for installation in machines. Compli-
ance with the machinery directive 98/37/EEC requires a sepa-
rate certificate of conformity. This must be provided by the plant
constructor or the installer of the machine.
EMC directive
• EN 61800-3
Variable-speed electric drives
Part 3: EMC product standard including specific test methods
The modified EMC product standard EN 61800-3 for electrical
drive systems is valid since 07/01/2005. The transition period for
the predecessor standard EN 61800-3/A11 from February 2001
ended on October 1, 2007. The following information applies to
the SINAMICS G120 frequency inverters from Siemens AG:
• The EMC product standard EN 61800-3 does not apply di-
rectly to a frequency inverter but to a PDS (Power Drive Sys-
tem), which comprises the complete circuitry, motor and ca-
bles in addition to the inverter.
• Frequency inverters are normally only supplied to experts for
installation in machines or systems. A frequency inverter must,
therefore, only be considered as a component which, on its
own, is not subject to the EMC product standard EN 61800-3.
The inverter’s Instruction Manual, however, specifies the con-
ditions regarding compliance with the product standard if the
frequency inverter is expanded to a PDS. The EMC directive
in the EU is complied with for a PDS by observance of the
product standard EN 61800-3 for variable-speed electrical
drive systems. The frequency inverters on their own do not
generally require identification according to the EMC direc-
tive.
• In the new EN 61800-3 of July 2005, a distinction is no longer
made between “general availability” and “restricted availabil-
ity”. Instead, different categories have been defined, C1 to C4,
in accordance with the environment of the PDS at the operat-
ing site:
- Category C1: Drive systems for rated voltages < 1000 V for
use in environment 1
- Category C2: Stationary drive systems not connected by
means of a plug connector for rated voltages < 1000 V.
When used in environment 1, the system must be installed
and commissioned by personnel familiar with EMC require-
ments. A warning is required.
- Category C3: Drive systems for rated voltages < 1000 V for
exclusive use in environment 2. A warning is required.
- Category C4: Drive systems for rated voltages 1000 V, for
rated currents 400 A, or for use in complex systems in en-
vironment 2. An EMC plan must be created.
• The EMC product standard EN 61800-3 also defines limit val-
ues for conducted interference and radiated interference for
“environment 2” (= industrial power supply systems that do
not supply households). These limit values are below the limit
values of filter class A to EN 55011. Unfiltered inverters can be
used in industrial environments as long as they are installed in
a system that contains line filters on the higher-level infeed
side.
• With SINAMICS G120 Power Drive Systems (PDS) that fulfill
EMC product standard EN 61800-3 can be set up upon follow-
ing the setup instructions.
• A differentiation must be made between the product stan-
dards for electrical drive systems (PDS) of the range of stan-
dards EN 61800 (of which Part 3 covers EMC topics) and the
product standards for the devices/systems/machines, etc.
This will probably not result in any changes in the practical use
of frequency inverters. Since frequency inverters are always
part of a PDS and these are part of a machine, the machine
manufacturer must observe various standards depending on
their type and environment, e.g. EN 61000-3-2 for line har-
monics and EN 55011 for radio interference. The product
standard for PDS on its own is, therefore, either insufficient or
irrelevant.
• Regarding the compliance of limit values for line harmonics,
EMC product standard EN 61800-3 for PDS refers to compli-
ance with EN 61000-3-2 and EN 61000-3-12.
• Regardless of the configuration with SINAMICS G120 and its
components, the mechanical engineer can also implement
other measures to ensure that the machine complies with the
EU EMC directive. The EU EMC directive is generally fulfilled
when the relevant EMC product standards are observed. If
they are not available, the generic standards, e.g.
DIN EN 61000-x-x, can be used instead. It is important that
the conducted and emitted interferences at the line supply
connection point and outside the machine remain below the
relevant limit values. Any suitable technical means can be
used to ensure this.
