1. The ground terminal G should always be connected to the ground. Do not use only a
residual-current-operated protective device (RCD)/earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)*
as the sole method of electric shock protection. Be sure to use ground wires whose size is
greater than power supply lines.
* With overcurrent protection.
2. When used with the inverter, a molded case circuit breaker (MCCB), residual-current-
operated protective device (RCD)/earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB) or magnetic
contactor (MC) should conform to the EN or IEC standards.
3. When you use a residual-current-operated protective device (RCD)/earth leakage circuit
breaker (ELCB) for protection from electric shock in direct or indirect contact power lines
or nodes, be sure to install type B of RCD/ELCB on the input (primary) of the inverter if
the power source is three-phase 200/400 V. For single-phase 200 V power supplies, use
type A.
When you use no RCD/ELCB, take any other protective measure that isolates the electric
equipment from other equipment on the same power supply line using double or
reinforced insulation or that isolates the power supply lines connected to the electric
equipment using an isolation transformer.
4. The inverter should be used in an environment that does not exceed Pollution Degree 2
requirements. If the environment conforms to Pollution Degree 3 or 4, install the inverter in
an enclosure of IP54 or higher.
5. Install the inverter, input or output filter in an enclosure with minimum degree of protection
of IP2X (Top surface of enclosure shall be minimum IP4X when it can be easily
accessed), to prevent human body from touching directly to live parts of these equipment.
6. To make an inverter with no integrated EMC filter conform to the EMC directive, it is
necessary to connect an external EMC filter to the inverter and install them properly so
that the entire equipment including the inverter conforms to the EMC directive.
7. Do not connect any copper wire directly to grounding terminals. Use crimp terminals with
tin or equivalent plating to connect them.
8. When using inverters at an altitude of more than 2000 m (6600 ft), note that the basic
insulation applies to the insulation degree of the control circuitry. At an altitude of more
than 3000 m (9800 ft), inverters cannot be used.
9. The power supply mains neutral has to be earthed for the three-phase 400 V class
inverter.
10. The inverter has been tested with EN61800-5-1 5.2.3.6.3 Short-circuit Current Test under
the following conditions.
Short-circuit current in the supply: 5 kA
Maximum 240 V
Maximum 480 V
