(2) Low Voltage Directive
1) Our view of transistorized inverters for the Low Voltage Directive
Transistorized inverters are covered by the Low Voltage Directive (Standard to
conform to: EN50178).
2) Compliance
We have self-confirmed our inverters as products compliant to the Low Voltage
Directive and place the CE mark on the inverters.
3) Outline of instructions
* Do not use an earth leakage circuit breaker as an electric shock protector without
connecting the equipment to the earth. Connect the equipment to the earth
securely.
* Wire the earth terminal independently. (Do not connect two or more cables to one
terminal.)
* Use the cable sizes on page 8 under the following conditions.
·
Ambient temperature: 40°C maximum
·
Wire installation: On wall without ducts or conduits
If conditions are different from above, select appropriate wire according to
EN60204 ANNEX C TABLE 5.
* Use the no-fuse breaker and magnetic contactor which conform to the EN or IEC
Standard.
* Use the breaker of type B (breaker which can detect both AC and DC). If not,
provide double or enhanced insulation between the inverter and other equipment,
or put a transformer between the main power supply and inverter.
* Use the inverter under the conditions of overvoltage category II and contamination
level 2 or higher specified in IEC664.
(a) To meet the overvoltage category II, insert an EN or IEC standard-compliant
insulating transformer or surge suppressor in the input of the inverter.
(b) To meet the contamination level 2, install the inverter in a control box protected
against ingress of water, oil, carbon, dust, etc. (IP54 or higher).
* On the input and output of the inverter, use cables of the type and size set forth in
EN60204 Appendix C.
* The operating capacity of the relay outputs (terminal symbols A, B, C) should be
30VDC, 0.3A.
* The terminals indicated as the control circuit input and output terminals on page 9
are separated safely from the main circuit.
