2.4 CE Conformity
Conformity with the Low Voltage (LV) Directive and Electromagnetic Compatibility
(EMC) Directive has been demonstrated using harmonized European Norm (EN)
standards published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
The GV6000 AC Drive 230 VAC and 480 VAC drive ratings comply with the EN
standards listed below when installed according to the User and Reference Manual.
Note: GV6000 600 VAC rated drives are not CE compliant.
CE Declarations of Conformity are available online at:

Low Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC)
EN50178 Electronic equipment for use in power installations.
EMC Directive (89/336/EEC)
EN61800-3 Adjustable speed electrical power drive systems Part 3: EMC product
standard including specific test methods.
General Notes
To be CE compliant, the motor cable should be kept as short as possible in order to
avoid electromagnetic emission as well as capacitive currents.
AC drives may cause radio frequency interference. The user is required to take
measures to prevent interference, in addition to the essential requirements for CE
compliance listed in section 2.4.1, if necessary.
If the adhesive label is removed from the top of the drive, the drive must be mounted in
a cabinet with side openings less than 12.5 mm (0.5 in) and top openings less than
1.0 mm (0.04 in) to maintain compliance with the Low Voltage Directive.
Conformity of the drive with CE EMC requirements does not guarantee an entire
machine or installation complies with CE EMC requirements. Many factors can
influence total machine/installation compliance.
Use of line filters in ungrounded systems is not recommended. GV6000 drives can
generate conducted low frequency disturbances (harmonic emissions) on the AC
supply system.
When operated on a public supply system, the user is responsible for ensuring, by
consultation with the distribution network operator and Rockwell Automation, if
necessary, that applicable requirements have been met.
2.4.1 Essential Requirements for CE Compliance
All conditions listed below must be satisfied for GV6000 drives to meet the
requirements of EN61800-3:
Standard GV6000 CE-compatible drive.
