Short-circuit Protection: The frequency converter must be protected against short- circuit to avoid electrical or fire hazard. Danfoss recommends using the fuses mentioned below to protect service personnel and equipment in case of an internal failure in the frequency conveter. The frequency converter provides full short-circuit protection in case of a short- circuit on the motor output.
