1.3.2 Selection of Circuit Breaker
For the selection of the circuit breaker, perform it according to the following items.
• 3 times of the rated current flows to the controller during the acceleration/deceleration. Select an
interrupter that does not trip with this value of current. If a trip occurs, select an interrupter that
possesses the rated current of one grade higher. (Check the operation characteristics curves in
the product catalog.)
• Select an interrupter that does not trip with the in-rush current. (Check the operation
characteristics curves in the product catalog.)
• Consider the current that enables to cutoff the current even when a short circuit current is flown
for the rated cutoff current.
Rated Interrupting Current > Short Circuit Current = Circuit Breaker Primary Power Capacity /
Power Voltage
Consider margin for the rated current on the circuit breaker.
Rated Current for Circuit Interrupter >
Total capacity of motor power for all the connected actuators / AC input voltage
