The MICROMASTER 420 inverter is suitable for a variety of variable-speed drive applications.
It is especially suitable for applications for pumps, fans and conveyor systems.
It is the ideal cost-optimized frequency inverter solution. The inverter is especially characterized by its customer-oriented performance and ease-of-use. Its large supply-voltage range enables it to be used all over the world.
The MICROMASTER 420 has a modular design. The operator panels and communication modules can be easily exchanged without requiring any tools.

CE marking
The MICROMASTER inverters meet the requirements of the Low-Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC.
Low-voltage directive
The inverters comply with the following standards listed in the Official Journal of the European Communities:
EN 60 204Safety of machinery, electrical equipment of machines
EN 61 800-5-1Electrical power drive systems with variable speed - Part 5-1: Requirements regarding safety - electrical, thermal and energy requirements
Machine directive
The inverters are suitable for installation in machines. Compliance with the machine directive 89/392/EEC requires a separate certificate of conformity. This must be furnished by the plant constructor or the installer of the machine.
EMC directive
EN 61 800-3Variable-speed electric drives
Part 3: EMC product standard including special test procedure.
The new EMC product standard EN 61 800-3 applies to electrical drive systems as of July 1, 2005. The transition period for the preceding standard EN 61 800-3/A11 dated February 2001 ends on October 1, 2007. The following explanations apply to frequency inverters of the 6SE6 series from Siemens:
- The EMC product standard EN 61 800-3 does not apply directly to a frequency inverter but to a PDS (Power Drive System), which comprises the complete circuitry, motor and cables in addition to the inverter.
