3. Selection of Auxiliary Power Devices
This section provides selection guidelines for breakers, earth leakage breakers, contactors, surge
absorbers and noise filters that can be used with the AC power-supply line of the X-SEL controller. These
devices must be selected by taking into consideration the power consumption, rush current and maximum
motor drive current of the controller.
(1) Power consumption
The table below lists the current capacities of the control power supply and motor power supply.
The power values of the control power supply are indicated by maximum loads. The power values of the
motor power supply can vary in accordance with the connected axes and load condition. The table lists
the power values of the motor power supply based on a load factor of 100%. Although a duty factor of
50% is recommended in this manual, these values assume the maximum allowable performance of the
controller. A maximum motor current of three times the rated current may flow during high-acceleration
operations. The table below indicates the momentary maximum currents calculated as three times the
corresponding rated currents.

(2) Leak current
When installing the controller, always provide an inverter-type earth leakage breaker.
The table below lists the controller leak currents excluding the currents leaked from the servo system.
Model Leak current (control power supply) Leak current (motor power supply)
P type
(Standard specification)
0.4 mA (200-VAC input) 2 mA max. (200-VAC input)
Q type (Global specification) 0.2 mA (200-VAC input) 2 mA max. (200-VAC input)
(3) Rush current
The table below lists reference rush currents that may generate in the control power supply and motor
power supply. As for the motor power supply system, the capacitor volume will vary depending on the
number of driver boards installed. However, the maximum current that can flow through the motor power
supply remains the same.
