22.5. External Input Protection
The unit is tested and approved for branch circuits up to 30A (U.S.A.) and 32A (IEC). An external protection is only
required, if the supplying branch has an ampacity greater than this. Check also local codes and local requirements. In
some countries local regulations might apply.
If an external fuse is necessary or utilized, minimum requirements need to be considered to avoid nuisance tripping of
the circuit breaker. A minimum value of 6A B- or 3A C-Characteristic breaker should be usee.
22.6. Using Only 2 Legs of a 3-Phase System
oss
e
The power supply is allowed to run permanently on two legs of a 3-phase
system, when the output power is reduced according to the curves below. A
long-term exceeding of these limits will result in a thermal shut-down of the
unit. No external protection device is required to protect against a phase-l
failure. EMC performance, hold-up time and losses differ from a three phas
operation. Therefore, check suitability of your individual application. The
screw of the terminal which remains unused must be securely tightened.
Using only two legs of a 3-phase system is not included in the UL approval. Therefore, additional testing might be
necessary.
