For United States / Canadian installations (UL/cUL): In order that the system is UL/cUL-compliant, use
UL/cUL-certified J-type fuses. Use 75° C copper wire only.
Additional requirements for Canadian compliance:
400 V supply:
Transient surge suppression must be installed on the line side of this equipment and shall be rated 480 V
(phase to ground), 480 V (phase to phase), suitable for overvoltage category III and shall provide protection
for a VPR maximum of 2 kV, type 1 or type 2 SPD application.
200 V supply:
Transient surge suppression must be installed on the line side of this equipment and shall be rated 240 V
(phase to ground), 240 V (phase to phase), suitable for overvoltage category III and shall provide protection
for a VPR maximum of 2 kV, type 1 or type 2 SPD application.
CAUTION - Cable cross-section for grounding: The earth cable must be at least as big as the
power cables.

Pulse frequency (factory setting)
4 kHz. Can be increased in 2 kHz steps up to 16 kHz. Increasing the pulse frequencies leads to an output current reduction.
ctromagnetic compatibility
The devices are suitable for second environment category C2 in accordance with IEC61800
conditions are fulfilled: The motor cable is a shielded cable with low capacitance and is not longer than 50 m. The pulse frequency does
not exceed 4 kHz, the current does not exceed the LO input value. For details, refer to the Hardware Installation Manual.
