NOTE
•	 Applicable	 national	 and	 local	 electrical	 codes	 take	 precedence	 over	
recommendations in these tables .
• Use UL Class CC fast-acting, current limiting type fuses . Select fuses
with	 low	 I2T	 values,	 rated	 at	 200,000	 AIC .	 Recommended	 fuses	 are	
Bussman	KTK-R,	JJN,	and	JJS .	Similar	fuses	with	equivalent	ratings	by	
other	manufacturers	may	also	be	acceptable .
WARNING!
This	 product	 can	 cause	 a	 DC	 current	 in	 the	 protective	 conductor .	 Where	
a	residual	current	device	(RCD)	is	used	for	protection	in	case	of	direct	or	
indirect	 contact,	 only	 an	 RCD	 of	 Type	 B	 is	 allowed	 on	 the	 supply	 side	 of	
this	product .	Otherwise,	another	protective	measure	shall	be	applied,	such	
as	 separation	 from	 the	 environment	 by	 double	 or	 reinforced	 insulation,	 or	
isolation	from	the	supply	system	by	a	transformer .
Observe the following when using RCDs:
1 .	 Only	install	the	RCD	between	the	supply	mains	and	drive	controller .
2 .	 The	RCD	can	be	activated	by:
•
capacitive	leakage	currents	between	the	cable	screens	during	
operation	(especially	with	long,	screened	motor	cables)
•
connecting several drives to the mains at the same time
•
additional RFI filters
