Connection of circuit breaker 
For the following configurations, you require a circuit breaker for each primary section: 
●  Several primary sections are connected in parallel to one Motor Module. 
●  The current-carrying capacity of the feeder cable cross-section is less than the current 
load capability of the Motor Module. 
Connect all of the primary sections to be connected in parallel to a Motor Module via a circuit 
breaker. 
●  Connect phases U, V, W of the primary section in question to the corresponding terminals 
of the associated circuit breaker: 
U - L1 
V - L2 
W - L3 
●  Connect phases U, V, W of the Motor Module to the circuit breaker terminals: 
U - T1 
V - T2 
W - T3 
●  Connect the auxiliary NO contacts of the circuit breaker in series. 
●  Connect the auxiliary NO contacts to an input on the CU/NCU. 
●  Connect the auxiliary NO contact to an external drive fault of the drive using BICO 
technology. This means that when a circuit breaker trips, the complete drive is shut down 
(OFF2). 
●  You can also evaluate the auxiliary NO contact of the circuit breaker using the PLC. 
●  Adjust the circuit breaker to the rated current of the motor feeder cables +10%. 
 
Avoiding false circuit breaker tripping 
At the following link you can find information in the Internet on the topic of "Influence of high-
frequency currents on thermal overload trips of circuit breakers (3RV, 3VU) and overload 
relays (3RU, 3UA)" and "Additional effects that can result in false trips".
