*1 The leakage currents of the 400 V class are about twice as large.
 Countermeasures
• Use Pr.9 Electronic thermal O/L relay.
• If the carrier frequency setting is high, decrease the Pr.72 PWM frequency selection setting.
Note that motor noise increases. Selecting Pr.240 Soft-PWM operation selection makes the sound inoffensive.
To ensure that the motor is protected against line-to-line leakage currents, it is recommended to use a temperature sensor
to directly detect motor temperature.
 Installation and selection of the molded case circuit breaker
Install a molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) on the power receiving side to protect the wiring at the inverter input side. Select
an MCCB according to the inverter input side power factor, which depends on the power supply voltage, output frequency and
load. Especially for a completely electromagnetic MCCB, a slightly large capacity must be selected since its operation
characteristic varies with harmonic currents. (Check it in the data of the corresponding breaker.) As an earth leakage current
breaker, use the Mitsubishi earth leakage current breaker designed for harmonics and surge suppression.
 Selecting the rated sensitivity current for the earth leakage circuit
breaker
To install the earth leakage circuit breaker on 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)}
