1.5.2.2 EMC Directive
The purpose of the EMC (electromagnetic compatibility)
Directive is to reduce electromagnetic interference and
enhance immunity of electrical equipment and instal-
lations. The basic protection requirement of the EMC
Directive is that devices that generate electromagnetic
interference (EMI), or whose operation could be affected
by EMI, must be designed to limit the generation of
electromagnetic interference. The devices must have a
suitable degree of immunity to EMI when properly
installed, maintained, and used as intended.
Electrical equipment devices used alone or as part of a
system must bear the CE mark. Systems do not require the
CE mark, but must comply with the basic protection
requirements of the EMC Directive.
1.5.2.3 Machinery Directive
The aim of the Machinery Directive is to ensure personal
safety and avoid property damage to mechanical
equipment used in its intended application. The Machinery
Directive applies to a machine consisting of an aggregate
of interconnected components or devices of which at least
1 is capable of mechanical movement.
Drives with an integrated safety function must comply with
the Machinery Directive. Drives without a safety function
do not fall under the Machinery Directive. If a drive is
integrated into a machinery system, Danfoss can provide
information on safety aspects relating to the drive.
When drives are used in machines with at least 1 moving
part, the machine manufacturer must provide a declaration
stating compliance with all relevant statutes and safety
measures.
1.5.2.4 ErP Directive
The ErP directive is the European Ecodesign Directive for
energy-related products. The directive sets ecodesign
requirements for energy-related products, including
frequency converters. The directive aims at increasing
energy efficiency and the level of protection of the
environment, while increasing the security of the energy
supply. Environmental impact of energy-related products
includes energy consumption throughout the entire
product life cycle.
The RCM Mark label indicates compliance with the
applicable technical standards for electromagnetic compat-
ibility (EMC). An RCM Mark label is required for placing
electrical and electronic devices on the market in Australia
and New Zealand. The RCM Mark regulatory arrangements
only deal with conducted and radiated emission. For
frequency converters, the emission limits specified in
EN/IEC 61800-3 apply. A declaration of conformity can be
provided on request.

Advanced Harmonic Filter AHF 005/AHF 010
460 V/60 Hz and 600 V/60 Hz types are UL-listed at UL
file no. E134261 (NMMS.E134261).
1.6 Safety
1.6.1 General Safety Principles
If handled improperly, drives have the potential for fatal
injury as they contain high voltage components. Only
qualified personnel are allowed to install and operate the
equipment. Do not attempt repair work without first
removing power from the drive and waiting the
designated amount of time for stored electrical energy to
dissipate.
Strict adherence to safety precautions and notices is
mandatory for safe operation of the drive and filter.
1.6.2 Qualified Personnel
Correct and reliable transport, storage, installation,
operation, and maintenance are required for the trouble-
free and safe operation of the filter. Only qualified
personnel are allowed to install or operate this equipment.
Qualified personnel are defined as trained staff, who are
authorized to install, commission, and maintain equipment,
systems, and circuits in accordance with pertinent laws and
regulations. Also, the qualified personnel must be familiar
with the instructions and safety measures described in this
manual.
WARNING
IMPROPER INSTALLATION
Improper installation of the filter or the frequency
converter may cause death, serious injury, or equipment
failure.
•
Follow this design guide and install according
to National and Local Electrical Codes.
