Drive, Fuse & Circuit Breaker Ratings
The PowerFlex 700 can be installed with input fuses or an input circuit breaker. 
National and local industrial safety regulations and/or electrical codes can 
determine additional requirements for these installations.
The tables on the following pages provide recommended AC line input fuse and 
circuit breaker information. See Fusing and Circuit Breakers below for UL and 
IEC requirements. Sizes listed are the recommended sizes based on 40 °C (104 
°F) and the U.S. NEC. Other country, state, or local codes can require different 
ratings. Tables with DC link fuse recommendations for DC input drives are also 
provided.
Fusing
The recommended fuse types are listed below. If available current ratings do not 
match those listed in the tables provided, choose the next higher fuse rating.

,
type gG or equivalent must be used.
•
UL - UL Class CC, T, RK1 or J must be used.
Circuit Breakers
The “non-fuse” listings in the following tables include inverse time circuit 
breakers, instantaneous trip circuit breakers (motor circuit protectors) and 140M 
self-protected combination motor controllers. If one of these is chosen as the 
desired protection method, the following requirements apply:
•
IEC – Both types of circuit breakers and 140M self-protected 
combination motor controllers are acceptable for IEC installations.
•
UL - Only inverse time circuit breakers and the specified 140M self-
protected combination motor controllers are acceptable for UL 
installations.
ATTENTION: The PowerFlex 700 does not provide branch short circuit 
protection. Specifications for the recommended fuse or circuit breaker to 
provide protection against short circuits are provided on pages
