5.1 Overview
Ground fault protection
The Profinet Card can detect ground current and trip before the equipment is
damaged.

rises above 50 A, the soft starter will trip immediately.
5.2 Connect the CT to the ground fault inputs
To use ground fault protection, a common mode current transformer (CT) must be
installed around all three phases. Use a 1000:1 or 2000:1 CT with rating of 5 VA and set

terminals (G1, G2, G3).
For maximum protection, the CT should be installed on the input side of the soft
