Cabling 
Thermal overload and short-circuit protection 
The drive protects itself and the input and motor cables against thermal overload when the cables are 
dimensioned according to the nominal current of the drive. 
Power cables 
Dimension the mains and motor cables according to local regulations. The cables must: 
1.  be able to carry the DCS550 load current, 
2.  be rated for at least 60°C (140°F), 
3.  fulfill short-circuit protection, 
4.  be rated according permissible touch voltage appearing under fault conditions (so that the fault point 
voltage will not rise too high when an earth fault occurs) and 
5.  be screened according to safety regulations. 
Mains cable (AC line cable) short-circuit protection 
Always protect the input cable with fuses. Size the fuses according to local safety regulations, appropriate 
input voltage and the rated current of the drive, see chapter Technical Data
. 
High-speed semiconductor fuses provide short-circuit protection, but do not provide thermal overload 
protection.
