0.55kW MM440 and a 0.55kW MM420
In this particular case, the DC link does not have to be fused, because:
o All of the frequency inverters require line fuses of 3x10A and these are
used at the input of the supply inverter.
o The total DC link current (summed) of the two connected frequency
inverters each with 0.55kW is, according to Table 2-2 I
DCtot
= 2*2A = 4A.
For this current, a cross-section of 1.5mm² (routing type B2, 2
conductors conducting current, 40°C ambient temperature) can be used
which are adequately protected using the 3x10A line fuses.
