Step Action Comment
1
Define the wire cross-section 
dependent on maximum current and 
ambient temperature.
Wire cross-section to VDE0100, 
part 523
2
Wire the inverter module with the mains 
filter, max. line length 0.3 m (with 
unshielded cable)! 
Step not applicable for BG1 to 
BG4; up to 7.5 kW the mains 
filter is built-in.
3
Wire the line choke see Appendix A.5
Reduces the voltage distortions 
(THD) in the system and extends 
the service life.
4
Install a circuit-breaker K1 (power 
switch, contactor, etc.).
Do not connect the power!
5
Use the mains fuses (type gL) or 
miniature circuit-breakers (trip 
characteristic C) to cut the mains power 
to all poles of the inverter.
To protect the line in accordance 
with VDE636, part 1
Connection  of the inverter module via a line choke with a short circuit voltage of 4 % 
of the mains voltage (u
k
 = 4 %) is obligatory:
1.
Where the inverter modules are connected to systems of environment class 3 
and above, see EN 61000-2-4 see appendix A.6
2.
For all inverter modules with a recommended motor connected load
(4-pole standard motor) of 30 kVA or above (CDA34.060 ... CDA34.250)
3.
Where there is a requirement to comply with the limit values for variable-speed 
electric drives (see standard EN 61800-3/ IEC 1800-3)
4.
Where there is a dc link between multiple inverter modules
