(2) Selecting the rated sensitivity current for the earth leakage circuit
breaker
When using the earth leakage circuit breaker with the inverter circuit, select its rated
sensitivity current as follows, independently of the PWM carrier frequency:

Rated sensitivity current: I∆n ≥ 10×(lg1+Ign+lg2+lgm)
! Conventional NV series (Type CA, CS, SS produced prior to '91)
Rated sensitivity current: I∆n ≥ 10×{lg1+lgn+3×(lg2+lgm)}

<Example>
Note: 1. The earth leakage circuit breaker should be installed to the primary (power
supply) side of the inverter.
2. Ground fault in the secondary side of the inverter can be detected at the
running frequency of 120Hz or lower.
3. In the connection neutral point grounded system, the sensitivity current
becomes worse for ground faults in the inverter secondary side. Hence, the
protective grounding of the load equipment should be class C grounding (10Ω
or less).
4. When the breaker is installed in the secondary side of the inverter, it may be
unnecessarily operated by harmonics if the effective value is less than the
rating. In this case, do not install the breaker since the eddy current and
hysteresis loss increase and the temperature rises.
* Note the leakage current value of the noise filter installed on the inverter input
side.
