How to Install
3.3.13 Fuses
Branch circuit protection:
In order to protect the installation against electrical and
fire hazard, all branch circuits in an installation, switch
3
3
gear, machines etc., must be short-circuited and over-
current protected according to national/international
regulations.
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 converter. The frequency converter
provides full short-circuit protection in case of a short-
circuit on the motor output.
Over-current protection
Provide overload protection to avoid fire hazard due to
overheating of the cables in the installation. The frequency
converter is equipped with an internal over-current

protection that can be used for upstream overload
protection (UL-applications excluded). See 4-18 Current
Limit. Moreover, fuses or circuit breakers can be used to
provide the over-current protection in the installation.
Over-current protection must always be carried out
according to national regulations.
UL compliance
The fuses below are suitable for use on a circuit capable of
delivering 100,000 Arms (symmetrical), 240 V, or 480 V, or
500 V, or 600 V depending on the frequency converter
voltage rating. With the proper fusing the frequency
converter Short Circuit Current Rating (SCCR) is 100,000
Arms.
