leak current at the point where a ground fault circuit interrupter is to be installed when leakage protection is conducted.
ME0161
A ground fault circuit interrupter needs to be selected carefully considering the purposes of prevention of fire and

Selection of Circuit Interrupter

• 3 times of the rated current flows to the controller during the acceleration/deceleration. Select an interrupter that does not trip
with this value of current. If a trip occurs, select an interrupter that possesses the rated current of one grade higher. (Refer to
the operation characteristics curves in the product catalog.)
• Select an interrupter that does not trip with the in-rush current. (Refer to the operation characteristics curves in the product
catalog.)
• Consider the current that enables to cutoff the current even when a short circuit current is flown for the rated cutoff current.
Rated Interrupting Current > Short Circuit Current = Primary Power Capacity / Power Voltage
Consider margin for the rated current on the circuit breaker.
Rated Current for Circuit Interrupter > (Rated Motor Power Capacity [VA] + Control Power Capacity [VA]) /
AC Input Voltage × Safety Margin (reference 1.2 to 1.4 times)

(Note 1) This is a reference for the case when the actuator is ran forward and backward on 1,000mm stroke with the
operation duty 50% under the rated acceleration/deceleration speed and rated load.
(Note 2) It is necessary to have the regenerative resistor listed above when the operation duty is above 50%.
The maximum quantity of the external regenerative resistor units that can be connected is as stated below:
• 2 units for less than 400W
(Note 3) It is necessary to have one unit for LSA/LSAS-N10S Type.
