Wiring Main Circuit Inputs

Observe the following precautions for the main circuit power supply input.

Installing a Molded-case Circuit Breaker

Always connect the power input terminals (R/L1, S/L2, and T/L3) and power supply via a molded-case circuit
breaker (MCCB) suitable for the Drive.

Choose an MCCB with a capacity of 1.5 to 2 times the Drive's rated current.

For the MCCB's time characteristics, be sure to consider the Drive's overload protection (one minute at
150% of the rated output current).

If the same MCCB is to be used for more than one Drive, or other devices, set up a sequence so that the
power supply will be turned OFF by a fault output, as shown in Fig 2.5.

Fig 2.5 MCCB Installation

Installing a Ground Fault Interrupter

Drive outputs use high-speed switching, so high-frequency leakage current is generated. Therefore, at the
Drive primary side, use a ground fault interrupter to detect only the leakage current in the frequency range that
is hazardous to humans and exclude high-frequency leakage current.

For the special-purpose ground fault interrupter for Drives, choose a ground fault interrupter with a
sensitivity amperage of at least 30 mA per Drive.

When using a general ground fault interrupter, choose a ground fault interrupter with a sensitivity
amperage of 200 mA or more per Drive and with an operating time of 0.1 s or more.

* For 380-480 V class Drives, connect a 460/230 V transformer.
