Motors with brushes are "incidental radiators" according to the FCC. I
believe PWM or variable frequency drive motors would be considered "unintentional radiators" in that they intentionally generate a radio frequency (9 kHz to 3,000,000MHz) but do not intend to radiate it. (see definitions at http://www.hallikainen.com/FccRules/2007/15/3/). Incidental radiators must use good engineering practice to minimize interference (see http://www.hallikainen.com/FccRules/2007/15/13/). Digital devices (I think motor control systems qualify as digital devices) in appliances are exempt from the emission limits for unintentional radiators (see http://www.hallikainen.com/FccRules/2007/15/103/), though the user must cease operation if the FCC finds it is causing interference. |
