Leakage current via the PE conductor results from the combination of equipm ent
and cable leakage currents. The leakage current frequency pattern com prises a
number of frequencies, whereby the residual-current circuit breakers definitively
evaluate the 50 Hz current. For this reason, the leakage current cannot be
measured using a conventional multim eter.
As a rule of thumb, the following assumption can be m ade for leakage current on
cables, depending on the PWM frequency of the output stage:
I leak = n x 20 mA + L x 1 mA/ m at 8 kHz PWM frequency at the output
stage
I leak = n x 20 mA + L x 2 mA/ m at a 16 kHz PWM frequency at the output
stage
( where I leak= leakage current, n= num ber of drives, L= length of motor cable)
Since the leakage current to PE is greater than 3.5 mA, com pliance with
I EC61800-5-1 requires that either the PE connection be doubled or a connecting
cable with a cross-section greater than10 mm² be used. Use the PE terminal and
the PE connection screws to meet this requirement.

In compliance with standards IEC 60364-4-41 Regulations for Installation and
I EC 60204 Electrical Equipment of Machinery, residual current protective devices
(RCD) can be used provided the requisite regulations are met.
RCDs which are sensitive to all currents m ust be used in order to detect any DC
fault current.
To protect against direct contact (with m otor cables shorter than 5 m), it is
recom mended that each drive be protected individually using a 30 m A RCD,
which is sensitive to all currents.
