Contactors

When selecting contactors, take into consideration the circuit's inrush current and the maximum
momentary current. The Servo Driver inrush current is covered in the preceding explanation of no-
fuse-breaker selection, and the maximum momentary current is approximately twice the rated cur-
rent. The following table shows the recommended contactors.

Leakage Breakers

Select leakage breakers designed for inverters.
Since switching takes place inside the Servo Drivers, harmonic current leaks from the armature of
the motor. With inverter leakage breakers, harmonic current is not detected, preventing the breaker
from operating due to leakage current.
When selecting leakage breakers, remember to also add the leakage current from devices other than
the Servomotor, such as machines using a switching power supply, noise filters, inverters, and so on.
For details on leakage breakers, refer to the manufacturer's catalog.
The following table shows the Servomotor leakage current for each Servo Driver model.
Driver
R7D-APA3L to -AP04L
R7D-APA3H to -AP04H
R7D-AP08H
Note 1. The above leakage current is for cases where Servomotor power line length is less than 5
meters. (It varies depending on the Servomotor cable length and the insulation.)
Note 2. The above leakage current is for normal temperature and humidity. (It varies depending on
the temperature and humidity.)
