(2) Selection the rated sensitivity current for the earth leakage circuit breaker
When using the earth leakage circuit breaker with the inverter circuit, select its rated sensitivity current as follows,
independent of the carrier frequency setting:
z Breaker for harmonic and surge
Rated sensitivity current:
lΔn ≥ 10 × (lg
1 + lgn + lg2 + lgm)
z Standard breaker
Rated sensitivity current:
lΔn ≥ 10 × {lg
1 + lgn + 3 × (lg2+lgm)}
lg
1, lg2 : leakage currents of cable path during
commercial power supply operation
lgn* : leakage current of noise filter on power
regeneration common converter input
side
lgm : leakage current of motor during
commercial power supply operation
<Example>
* Be careful of the leakage current value of the noise filter installed on the power regeneration common
converter input side.

Note: 1. The NV should be installed to the primary (power supply) side of the power regeneration common
converter.
2. Ground fault in the secondary side of the inverter can be detected at the running frequency of 120Hz or
lower.
3. In the connection neutral point grounded system, the sensitivity current becomes worse for ground
faults in the inverter secondary side. Hence, the protective grounding of the load equipment should be
10Ω or less.
4. When the breaker is installed on the secondary side of the inverter, it may be unnecessarily operated by
harmonics if the effective value is less than the rating. In this case, do not install it since the eddy current
and hysteresis loss increase and the temperature rises.
5. The following models are standard breakers
BV-C1, BC-V, NVB, NV-L, NV-G2N, NV-G3NA, and NV-2F type leakage current relays (except for
NV-ZHA), AA neutral wire, NV with open phase protection
The following models are breakers for harmonic and surge
NV-C/NV-S/MN series, NV30-FA, NV50-FA, BV-C2, leakage current alarm breaker(NF-Z), NV-ZHA,
