11.3.2 Connection example and criteria for selection of circuit breakers
Figure 11.3-1 shows a connection example for MCCB or RCD/ELCB (with overcurrent protection) and MC in the
inverter input circuit. Table 11.3-1 lists the rated current for the MCCB and corresponding inverter models. Table
11.3-2 lists the applicable grades of RCD/ELCB sensitivity.
Insert an MCCB or RCD/ELCB (with overcurrent protection) recommended for each inverter for its input circuits.
Do not use an MCCB or RCD/ELCB of a higher rating than that recommended.
Doing so could result in a fire.
