Maximum current limit for daisy-chain connection
The maximum permissible number of daisy-chained converters depends on the maximum
current limit for daisy-chain connection. The table below gives the maximum current limits
dependent upon the cable cross-sections and surrounding air temperature:

Further information on protective devices
For both connector and glanded variants, the input for the daisy chained converters can be
protected by group fusing.
For more information about the permissible types of the group fusing, see the SINAMICS

Electric shock by live parts in the motor terminal box
Hazardous voltage can be present on the pins for temperature sensor and motor holding
brake. Touching live parts on the motor cable and in the motor terminal box can lead to
death due electrical shock.
• Keep the motor terminal box closed whenever the mains is applied to the converter.
• Insulate the cables that are not used.
• Use appropriate insulation on the cables.
