Description
WARNING
Electric shock due to interrupted protective conductor
The drive components conduct a high leakage current via the protective conductor. Touching
conductive parts when the protective conductor is interrupted can result in death or serious
injury.
• Comply with the requirements for the protective conductor.
① Protective conductor for line feeder cables
② Protective conductor for converter line feeder cables
③ Protective conductor between PE and the control cabinet
④ Protective conductor for motor feeder cables
The minimum cross-section of the protective conductor ① … ④ depends on the cross-
section of the line or motor feeder cable:
• Line or motor feeder cable ≤ 16mm
2
⇒ Minimum cross-section of the protective conductor = cross-section of the line or motor
feeder cable
• 16mm² < line or motor feeder cable ≤ 35mm
2
⇒ Minimum cross-section of the protective conductor = 16mm
2
• Line or motor feeder cable > 35mm
2
⇒ Minimum cross-section of the protective conductor = ½ cross-section of the line or motor
feeder cable
