Note on selecting a suitable power supply ELCB
If your application requires by installation standards an RCD (residual current device) as up stream
protection please select according to DIN VDE 0100-530 as following:
Single phase inverter type A or B
Three phase inverter only type B
Additionally, when selecting a residual current device (RCD), leakage current caused by the mains fil-
ter, the length of the shielded motor cable and the carrier frequency must be taken into consideration.
When connecting AC current using switches without a step function, brief asymmetrical loads may re-
sult in unwanted triggering of the residual current device (RCD). It is recommendable here to use a
Type B residual current device (RCD) with delayed actuation or to switch on all three phases simulta-
neously using a main contactor.
Calculate the trip current sensitivity of the ELB as follows:
● Breaker designed for harmonic and surge suppression:
IΔn ≥ 10 × (Ig1 + Ign + Igi + lg2 + lgm)
● Standard breaker:
IΔn ≥ 10 × [Ig1 + Ign + Igi + 3 × (Ig2 + lgm)]
