Use an earth-leakage current breaker designed for suppressing harmonics/surges.
Find the terms of equation (11.1) from the diagram.
Ig1 = 20 •
5
1000
= 0.1 [mA]
Ig2 = 20 •
5
1000
= 0.1 [mA]
Ign = 0 (not used)
Iga = 0.1 [mA]
Igm = 0.1 [mA]
Insert these values in equation (11.1).
Ig ≥ 10 • {0.1 + 0 + 0.1 + 1 • (0.1 + 0.1)}
≥ 4 [mA]
According to the result of calculation, use an earth-leakage current breaker having the rated sensitivity
current (Ig) of 4.0 mA or more.
An earth-leakage current breaker having Ig of 15 mA is used with the NV-SP/SW/CP/CW/HW series.
