Active Front End (AFE)
4.11
Active Front End unit – Fuse selection
4.11.1
Introduction
AC fuses are used to protect the input network in case the Active Front End unit or the LCL filter is
faulty. DC fuses are used to protect the Active Front End unit and the LCL filter in case there is a
short circuit in the DC buses. If DC fuses are not used, short-circuit in the DC buses will cause a
loading of the Active Front End unit. Vacon Plc will not assume any responsibility for damages
caused by insufficient protection.
