EMC and leakage currents
(3) Selection of rated sensitivity current of earth leakage circuit breaker
When using the earth leakage circuit breaker with the inverter circuit, select its rated sensitivity current as follows,
independently of the PWM carrier frequency:
⋅ Breaker designed for harmonic and surge suppression
Rated sensitivity current:
IΔn ≥ 10 × (Ig1 + Ign + Igi + Ig2 + Igm)
⋅ Standard breaker
Rated sensitivity current:
IΔn ≥ 10 × {Ig1 + Ign + Igi + 3 × (Ig2 + Igm)}

CAUTION
⋅ Install the earth leakage circuit breaker (ELB) on the input side of the inverter.
⋅ In the
connection earthed-neutral system, the sensitivity current is blunt against an earth (ground) fault in the inverter output
side. Earthing (Grounding) must conform to the requirements of national and local safety regulations and electrical codes. (NEC
section 250, IEC 536 class 1 and other applicable standards)
Use a neutral-point earthed (grounded) power supply for 400V class inverter in compliance with EN standard.
⋅ When the breaker is installed on the output side of the inverter, it may be unnecessarily operated by harmonics even if the
effective value is less than the rating. In this case, do not install the breaker since the eddy current and hysteresis loss will
increase, leading to temperature rise.
⋅ The following models are standard breakers....BV-C1, BC-V, NVB, NV-L, NV-G2N, NV-G3NA and NV-2F earth leakage relay
(except NV-ZHA), NV with AA neutral wire open-phase protection
The other models are designed for harmonic and surge suppression....NV-C/NV-S/MN series, NV30-FA, NV50-FA, BV-C2,
earth leakage alarm breaker (NF-Z), NV-ZHA, NV-H
