Overview
EN 61800-5-1:2007/A11:2021 - Adjustable speed electrical power drive systems, Part 5-1: Safety requirements - Electrical, thermal and energy - is a CENELEC amendment (A11, 2021) to the European standard on safety aspects of variable-speed power drives. Prepared by CLC/TC 22X, this amendment updates Annex ZZ to align the standard with the Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU) and clarifies citation of EN 61800-5-1:2007 and its A1:2017. The amendment was approved 2020-11-17, with national implementation dates set (dop 2021-08-05; conflicting standards withdrawn by 2023-11-17).
Key topics and requirements
This harmonised standard addresses safety for adjustable speed electrical power drive systems with emphasis on electrical, thermal and energy aspects. Key technical topics include:
- Electrical safety and insulation: requirements to reduce risk from direct and indirect contact, and to ensure insulation is suitable for foreseeable conditions.
- Protection against electrical hazards: measures covering temperature rise, arcs and radiation that could create danger in normal use.
- Thermal management: limits and design guidance to prevent overheating of drive components and connected machines.
- Energy-related requirements: provisions to manage energy transfer, dissipation and safe handling of stored energy within the drive system.
- Marking, assembly and connection: information and identification required for safe installation, use and maintenance.
- Resistance to external influences: mechanical and environmental robustness so that persons and property are not endangered under foreseeable conditions of use or overload.
- Annex ZZ (informative): maps clauses of the standard to the essential safety objectives of the Low Voltage Directive, supporting a presumption of conformity when cited in the Official Journal of the EU.
These topics are expressed as safety objectives and normative clauses; Annex ZZ clarifies the relationship to Directive 2014/35/EU.
Applications and users
EN 61800-5-1:2007/A11:2021 is used by:
- Manufacturers of adjustable speed drives (inverters, converters, rectifiers) and stabilized power supplies
- Design and product safety engineers responsible for drive system compliance
- Testing and certification bodies and notified bodies assessing conformity with the Low Voltage Directive
- System integrators and OEMs incorporating drives into industrial machinery
- Regulatory authorities and standards committees
Practical applications include industrial motor control systems, variable-speed drives for conveyors, pumps, HVAC, robotics and process automation where electrical, thermal and energy safety of the drive is critical.
Related standards
- EN 61800 series (other parts covering functional safety, EMC, and application-specific guidance)
- Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU (Annex I safety objectives, mapped in Annex ZZ)
- Referenced documents cited within EN 61800-5-1 for testing and assessment procedures
For manufacturers and safety engineers seeking harmonised standards for adjustable speed drives, EN 61800-5-1:2007/A11:2021 is a primary reference for electrical, thermal and energy safety compliance.
