Circuit Breaker Specifications
While circuit breakers offer some convenience, there are limitations
for their use. Circuit breakers do not handle high current inrush as
well as fuses. The Ultra3000 needs to be protected by a device having
a short circuit interrupt current rating of the service capacity provided
or a maximum of 100,000A.
The wiring interconnection in Figure A.1 provide examples of the
needed protection and follows UL and NEC codes. Full compliance is
dependent on final wiring design and installation.

ATTENTION
!
Bulletin 140M circuit breakers should not be used on
the output of an ac drive as an isolating disconnect
switch or motor overload device. These devices are
designed to operate on sine wave voltage and the
drive’s PWM waveform does not allow it to operate
properly. As a result, damage to the device will
occur.
