5shy3545L0001 ABB Drive control thyristor module

Description

The aim of this Technical guide No. 2* is to give a straight-forward
explanation of how the various EU Council Directives relate to
power drive systems (PDSs). For an explanation of the terminology of PDSs, see pages 21 and 22.
While Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is the subject of
most concern within the industry, it must be realised that the
EMC Directive is only part of the overall EU initiative on common
safety standards.
It is the intention of this guide to offer users of AC or DC power
drive systems – whether machine builders, system designers,
distributors, OEMs, end-users or installers – some clear practical
guidelines and courses of action.
