Maximum current limit for daisy-chain connection
The maximum permissible number of daisy-chained converters depends on the maximum
current limit for daisy-chain connection. The table below gives the maximum current limits
dependent upon the cable cross-sections and surrounding air temperature:

Further information on protective devices
For both connector and glanded variants, the input for the daisy chained converters can be
protected by group fusing.
For more information about the permissible types of the group fusing, see the SINAMICS

Further information
If you don't use daisy chain connection, cover the unused connectors with the optional
connector cover kit to maintain the IP rating of the system.
