For the enclosure volume, it must be minimum 53L(Liter).
The enclosure mounting an inverter are a Type 1, 4(X) or 12 rated enclosure, only for the indoor usage.
Minimum enclosure volume allows for specified SCCR. Thermal requirements may require a larger enclosure.
The ampere rating of the short circuit protection devices in the table are maximum values.
Smaller ampere sizes can be used.
(*1) Use Class CC or J fast acting or time delay with any manufacturer, except VFS15-4004PL~4037PL.
(*2) For VFS15-4004PL~4037PL, Use Class J fast acting or time delay.
The manufacturer of the fuses must be "Cooper Bussmann" or "Mersen" (formerly, "Ferraz Shawmut") for the
compliance of UL standard.
(*3) The manufacturer of the listed circuit breaker is "Schneider Electric".
(*4) For GV2P and GV3P use, 480 V and 600V ratings are for Wye connected electrical distribution systems.
GV2P self-protected manual combination starter must be used with GV2GH7 insulating barrier to meet Type E rating.
GV3P self-protected manual combination starter must be used with GV3G66 + GVAM11 insulating barrier and auxiliary
contact to meet Type E rating. The GVAM11 provides a visual indication if the GV3P has tripped.
GV3P self-protected manual combination starter with connection by lugs that added the digit 6 to the end of reference
must be used with LAD96570 (2 pieces) + GVAM11 to meet Type E rating.

UL61800-5-1 require publishing the standard Type E combination motor controller power rating since this is a basic
identification marking of type E devices.
However, when applied as an input overcurrent protective device for a drive, the rated current of the Type E
combination motor controller, not the rated power, is the key parameter for dimensioning.

P Type E combination motor controllers are adjustable, their current range is shown on the adjustment dial and
their selection is based on the input current and not the power rating of the drive.

Reactor selection must be satisfied to the line inductance minimum values in the table.
