Selection of Circuit Interrupter
• 3 times of the rated current may flow 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.
● For ~750W Motor
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)
● For 3000~3300W Motor
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) / √3
