Table 6.1 summarizes average (effective) electric currents flowing across the terminals of each
inverter model for ease of reference when selecting peripheral equipment, options and electric wires
for each inverter--including supplied power voltage and applicable motor rating.

- Inverter efficiency is calculated using values suitable for each inverter model. The input route mean
square (RMS) current is calculated according to the following conditions:
Power source capacity: 500 kVA; power source internal impedance: 5%
- The current listed in the above table will vary in inverse proportion to the power supply voltage,
such as 230 VAC and 460 VAC.
- The braking current is always constant, independent of braking resistor type (standard and
10%ED).
