Chapter 2 - Definitions
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of PDS
EMC stands for Electromagnetic compatibility. It is the ability
of electrical/electronic equipment to operate without problems
within an electromagnetic environment. Likewise, the equipment
must not disturb or interfere with any other product or system
within its locality. This is a legal requirement for all equipment
taken into service within the European Economic Area ( EEA).
The terms used to define compatibility are shown in figure 2-1.
Figure 2-1 Immunity and emission compatibility.
As variable speed drives are described as a source of interfer-
ence, it is natural that all parts which are in electrical or airborne
connection within the power drive system (PDS) are part of the
EMC compliance. The concept that a system is as weak as its
weakest point is valid here.
Immunity
Electrical equipment should be immune to high-frequency and
low-frequency phenomena. High-frequency phenomena include
electrostatic discharge (ESD), fast transient burst, radiated elec-
tromagnetic field, conducted radio frequency disturbance and
electrical surge. Typical low-frequency phenomena are mains
voltage harmonics, notches and imbalance.
Emission
The source of high-frequency emission from frequency converters
is the fast switching of power components such as IGBTs and
control electronics. This high-frequency emission can propagate
by conduction and radiation.
