In an IT line system, all of the conductors are insulated with respect to the PE protective
conductor – or connected to the PE protective conductor through an impedance.
There are IT systems with and without transfer of the neutral conductor N.
Inverter operated on an IT line system
● Inverters with integrated line filter:
– Operation on IT line systems not permissible.
● Inverter without line filter:
– Operation on all IT line systems permissible.
Example for inverters connected to an IT line system

respect to the PE protective conductor
Behavior of the inverter when a ground fault occurs
In some instances, even for a ground fault, the inverter should still remain functional. In
cases such as these, you must install an output reactor. This prevents an overcurrent trip or
damage to the drive.
