Safety notes It has to be ensured by the machine manufacturer, that the line-side overcurrent protection equipment interrupts within 5 s (immovable equipment and modules in immovable equipment) in the case of minimum fault current (current on complete insulation failure to accessible conductive parts that are not live during operation and maximum current loop resistance).
Page 10
Safety notes WARNING Protective earthing conductor current As the earth leakage for the inverter can be greater than AC 3.5 mA, a fixed earth connection is required and the minimum size of the protective earth conductor shall comply with the local safety regulations for high leakage current equipment. The inverter can cause a DC current in the protective earthing conductor.
