Remark: The highlighted values in Table 20 refer to cable sizes that correspond to typical
filter ratings. Note that in 4-wire systems, the neutral may have to carry up to 3 times
the line current rating of the filter.
6.7 Selection of the power cable protection/filter input protection
scheme
Once the power cables have been selected, a suitable cable and equipment protection
has to be selected. The protection only needs to protect the phases and not the neutral.
It is recommended to use fuses of type gG/gL with the RMS current ratings given in
Table 21.
