6.5.5.4
Converter operation on a grounded network
NOTICE
Damage resulting from protective conductor currents
When the machine is operated on a converter with current limiter, but without ground-fault
monitoring, protective conductor currents of up to 1.7 times the external conductor current
can arise if there is a ground fault on the output side. Neither the PE conductors of normally
rated multi-core connecting cables nor the PE connecting points of normal terminal boxes
are suitable for this purpose. Material damage can result.
● Use an appropriately sized PE conductor.
● Connect the PE conductor to the grounding terminal on the motor enclosure.
