with a test setup conforming to standard with the indicated internal and external EMC
filters.
● Category C3 requirements according to product standard EN 61800-3 have been
complied with for EFC 3600 with an internal EMC filter.
● Category C1 requirements according to product standard EN 61800-3 have been
complied with for EFC 3600 with an external EMC filter.
● Minimum immunity requirements in the second environment according to product
standard EN 61800-3 have been complied with for EFC 3600 with internal and exter‐
nal EMC filters.
