Description

What is the importance of CE marking for purchasers of drives?
As far as a purchaser of a drive is concerned, anything that carries the CE mark must have a functional value to him.
Thus, a complete drive product, which can be safely cabled and
powered up on its own, shall carry the CE marking.
If I buy a CE marked drive, will I meet the technical requirements of the
directives?
In practice, you will see drive products with CE marking. But it
is important to understand just why the product was given CE
marking in the first place.
Basically a drive has no functional value. It is only of practical
use when connected to, say, a motor which in turn is connected
to a load.
Therefore, as far as the Machinery Directive is concerned a drive
cannot have CE marking unless it is part of a “process” comprising the drive, motor and load.
As for the EMC Directive, the equipment that make up a “process”
include cabling, drives and motor. CE marking can only be affixed
if all items forming such a “process” conform to the requirements
of the directive. Therefore, the drive manuals include detailed
instructions for installation.
However, in the eyes of the Low Voltage Directive, a built drive
does have functionality. That is, through the drive’s parameters
you can program the drive and obtain an input and output signal.
Thus, if a drive conforms to the Low Voltage Directive it can carry
CE marking. Refer to pages from 58 to 60 for explanations of
the three directives.
