4.6.14 Fuses
Branch circuit protection:
In order to protect the installation against electrical and fire hazard, all branch circuits in an installation, switch gear, machines, etc., must be short-
circuited and overcurrent protected according to national/international regulations.
Short-circuit protection:
The adjustable frequency drive must be protected against short-circuit to avoid electrical or fire hazard. Danfoss recommends using the fuses mentioned
below to protect service personnel and equipment in case of an internal failure in the drive. The adjustable frequency drive provides full short-circuit
protection in case of a short-circuit on the motor output.
Overcurrent protection
Provide overload protection to avoid fire hazard due to overheating of the cables in the installation. The adjustable frequency drive is equipped with
internal overcurrent protection that can be used for upstream overload protection (UL applications excluded). See par. F-43
Current Limit
. Moreover,
fuses or circuit breakers can be used to provide the overcurrent protection in the installation. Overcurrent protection must always be carried out according
to national regulations.
Non-UL compliance
If UL/cUL is not to be complied with, we recommend using the following fuses, which will ensure compliance with EN50178:
P160 - P250 380–480 V type gG
P315 - P450 380–480 V type gR
UL Compliance
380–480 V, frame sizes D, E and F
The fuses below are suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering 100,000 Arms (symmetrical), 240 V, or 480 V, or 500 V, or 600 V depending on
the drive voltage rating. With the proper fusing, the drive Short Circuit Current Rating (SCCR) is 100,000 Arms.
