APPENDIX 1 INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLIANCE WITH THE EUROPEAN
STANDARDS
(The products conforming to the Low Voltage Directive carry the CE mark.)
Low Voltage Directive for FR-HC series (High power factor converters)
(1) Our view of the FR-HC series for the Low Voltage Directive.
The FR-HC series is covered by the Low Voltage Directive ( DIN VDE0160 ).
(2) Compliance
* We have self-confirmed the FR-HC series as products compliant to the Low Voltage Directive.
* Since the FR-HCB box, FR-HCL01 reactor and FR-HCL02 reactor are considered parts of the FR-HC
unit and we place the CE mark on the FR-HC unit.
(3) Outline of instruction
* In the FR-HC-H series (400V class), the rated input voltage range is three-phase, 380V to 415V, 50Hz/
60Hz.
* Connect the equipment to the earth securely. Do not use an earth leakage circuit breaker as an electric
shock protector without connecting the equipment to the earth.
* Wire the earth terminal independently. (Do not connect two or more cables to one terminal.)
* The wire size for PVC cables are shown for the following conditions;
Ambient Temperature: 40°C maximum
Wire installation: On wall without ducts or conduits
If conditions are different from above, select appropriate wire according to EN60204 ANNEX C, TABLE
5.
* On the input side, use the recommended no-fuse breaker and magnetic contactor which conform to the
EN or IEC standard.
* Use the FR-HC unit, including the FR-HCB box and the reactors, under the conditions of overvoltage
category II and contamination level 2 or less set forth in IEC664.
(a) To meet the overvoltage category II, insert an EN or IEC standard-compliant isolation transformer
or surge suppressor in the input of the FR-HC (FR-HCL01 reactor).
(b) To meet the contamination level 2, install the FR-HC unit, the FR-HCB box and the reactors in a
control box protected against ingress of water, oil, carbon, dust, etc. (IP54 or higher).
* The operating capacity of the relay outputs (terminal symbol A, B, C) should be 30VDC, 0.3A. (The
relay outputs are basically isolated from the terminal circuitry of the FR-HC unit.)
