C.1 European Standards
Figure C.1 CE Mark
The CE mark indicates compliance with European safety and environmental regulations and
is required for engaging in business and commerce in Europe.
European standards include the Machinery Directive for machine manufacturers, the Low
Voltage Directive for electronics manufacturers and the EMC guidelines for controlling noise.
This drive displays the CE mark based on the EMC guidelines and the Low Voltage Directive.
• Devices used in combination with this drive must also be CE certified and display the CE
mark. When using drives displaying the CE mark in combination with other devices, it is
ultimately the responsibility of the user to ensure compliance with CE standards. After
setting up the device, verify that conditions meet European standards.
• Low Voltage Directive: 73/23/EEC, 93/68/EEC
u CE Low Voltage Directive Compliance
This drive has been tested according to European standard IEC/EN 61800-5-1, and it fully
complies with the Low Voltage Directive.
To comply with the Low Voltage Directive, be sure to meet the following conditions when
combining this drive with other devices:
n Area of Use
Do not use drives in areas with pollution higher than severity 2 and overvoltage category 3 in
accordance with IEC/EN 664.
n Factory Recommended Branch Circuit Protection
Yaskawa recommends installing one of the following types of branch circuit protection to
maintain compliance with UL508C. Semiconductor protective type fuses are preferred.
Alternate branch circuit protection devices are also listed in Table C.1 .
NOTICE: If a fuse is blown or a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is tripped, check the wiring and the
selection of peripheral devices to identify the cause. Contact Yaskawa before restarting the drive or the
peripheral devices if the cause cannot be identified.
