To protect 
the 
wiring 
in 
the primary 
side 
of 
the inverter, 
it 
is 
necessary 
to 
install a fuse or 
no- 
fuse breaker  (NFB). 
The 
NFB must 
be 
selected with  regard to  the power factor at the power 
supply  side  of  inveqer  (will vary  according  to  power supply  voltage, 
output 
frequency,  and 
load). For selection, refer 
to 
the table above. Especially, when a  NFB of  electromagnetic type 
is used, the operating characteristics vary due to  high hamnic currents. This means that the 
NFB which  is one rank above the proper 
size 
must 
be 
selected.

If 
the inverter is connected direclly 
to 
a large capacity power transformer (cam: 500kVA or 
larger, wiring distance:  10m 
(32.83 
feel) 
or 
smaller),  or a phase advancer capacitor is 
used, 
an excessive peak current may flow through the  power supply input circuit 
to 
damage the con- 
verter. 
In 
this situation, 
it 
may be necessary to install a power factor Improving AC  reactor like 
the  FR-BAL  (option).
