2.3 Overcurrent protection by means of line fuses and circuit breakers
Line fuses or, preferably, circuit breakers should be used for line/overcurrent protection in
order to limit the damage sustained by the Power Module if a fault occurs. LV HRC, D, and
DO-type line fuses with a gL characteristic or suitable circuit breakers can be used for this
purpose.
DANGER
As a general rule, the higher loop impedance of TT systems means they are not suitable for
tripping the installed overcurrent protection devices within the prescribed period should an
insulation fault occur. If TT systems are used, residual-current-operated circuit breakers
(refer to the chapter titled "Residual-current-operated circuit breakers (RCD)") should
ideally be used in addition to the overcurrent protection devices.
WARNING
It is not permissible to overdimension fuses as this can result in significant levels of danger
and also faults.
NOTICE
Fuses that can operate across the maximum cable length within a circuit must be rated in
accordance with the requirements for:
1. Short-circuit protection (IEC 60364-4-43 and -5-52, EN 60204-1, and EN 61800-5-1)
2. The maximum permissible break time for protection against electric shock in the event
of indirect contact (IEC 60364-4-41 and -4–43, EN 61800-5-1, and EN 60204-1)
3. The maximum permissible voltage drop during operation
The maximum cable length depends primarily on the cable cross-section, material, and
insulation, as well as the type and size of the upstream overcurrent protection device.
The minimum value, which is derived from the three requirements, usually has to be strictly
observed. This means that the fuses must be designed in such a way that, if a fault occurs,
the line fuses trip after 0.4 s with mobile equipment and after 5 s with stationary equipment.
Note
The devices can be connected to line supplies up to 480 V
AC
, which can supply a maximum
of 36 kA symmetrical ("uninfluenced current" acc. to EN 60269-1).
