Selecting a Breaker

Follow the guidance below when selecting a breaker.
 Current 3 times more than the rated current flows in the controller during acceleration/deceleration. Select a

breaker that does not trip when this current is conducted. If a trip occurs, select a breaker with rated current
one rank higher.

 Select a breaker that does not trip due to rush current. (Refer to operation characteristic curves described in

catalogues by manufacturers.)

 Select a breaker with rated breaking current values that can break without fails even if short-circuit current is

conducted.

 Rated breaking current > short-circuit current = primary side power supply capacity / power supply voltage

Select a circuit breaker with rated current with sufficient margin.

Rated breaker current > (Rated motor power-supply capacity [VA] + Control power-supply capacity
[VA]) / AC input voltage


Moreover, leak current breakers must be selected with specific purposes such as protection against fire,
protection of humans and so on. Furthermore, leak current shall be measured at the location where a leak
current breaker is installed. Please use a leak current breaker supporting higher harmonics.
