How can we choose breaker with selected AC drive model? | Shihlin Electric

AC drive output includes high order harmonic wave, there will be leakage current on the wire between AC drive and motor and it will be 3 times bigger than controlling motor by normal power. So the operate current of the breaker should be 10 times bigger than the leakage current of controlling motor by normal power. Find quick answers in the Shihlin Electric FAQ—selection, wiring and troubleshooting for circuit breakers, magnetic contactors, AC drives, servo, HMI and PLC control.
