9.3.1.2 Recommendations
The tables in chapter 9.3.1 Fuses and Circuit Breakers list the
recommended rated current. Recommended fuses are of
the type gG for small to medium power sizes. For larger
power sizes, aR fuses are recommended. For circuit
breakers, Moeller types are recommended. Other types of
circuit breakers may be used, provided they limit the
energy into the frequency converter to a level equal to or
lower than the Moeller types.
If fuses/circuit breakers according to recommendations are
selected, possible damage on the frequency converter is
mainly limited to damages inside the unit.
For further information see Application Note Fuses and
Circuit Breakers, MN90T.
9.3.1.3 CE Compliance
Fuses or circuit breakers are mandatory to comply with IEC
60364. Danfoss recommend using a selection of the
following.

MG33BF02 - Rev. 2013-12-20
The fuses below are suitable for use on a circuit capable of
delivering 100,000 A
(symmetrical), 240 V, 500 V, 600 V,
rms
or 690 V depending on the frequency converter voltage
rating. With the proper fusing the frequency converter
short circuit current rating (SCCR) is 100,000 A
The following UL listed fuses are suitable:
•
UL248-4 class CC fuses
•
UL248-8 class J fuses
•
UL248-12 class R fuses (RK1)
•
UL248-15 class T fuses
