3.1 Important instructions
• If a leakage current sensor is used in the mains supply of the servo
drives, a leakage current sensor RCD type B has to be used in any
case. If a RCD type A or AC is used, there is a risk, that the DC
ground current of the servo drive inhibits the leakage current sensor.
High-frequency leakage currents occur, which must be taken into
consideration when selecting the FI (e.g. Schrack ID-B 4/XX/XX-B).
Trigger diagram:
• Take care, that the servo drive and the motor are grounded properly.
Use uncoated, zinc plated mounting plates (subplates).
• The servo drive system MDD 100 has a high leakage current higher
than 3.5 mA. Therefore particular attention has to be taken on the
grounding of the servo drive system:
a) Stationary machine mains supply connection:
– Parallel connection of the protective conductor
on X2/Pin4 and at the module carrier with the same
gage wire size, or
– Ground the MDD 100 with a minimum wire size of
10 mm² (AWG 8) at the module carrier, or
– Automatically switch-off of the mains supply
at cable break of the protective conductor
