8.5.7 Cable protection
In case of interferences, the cables have to be adequately protected (8.4.4).
Please consider the following when dimensioning the DC bus for a plant or machine:
ƒ Mains fuses can be used to protect the DC cables if the wiring is designed for 122 %
of the rated fuse current. Otherwise, the cable protection for the DC cables must be
specially determined.
ƒ Select the fuses for the currents resulting from power P
DC100%
.Pleaseobservethe
standards and regulations applicable for the particular location and application.
ƒ Fuse the DC-supply modules according to the Technical data on the AC mains side.
ƒ The DC outputs of the supply modules need not be fused if all connected controllers
are fused in accordance with the specifications.
ƒ ”Multi Drive” controllers are default equipped with a fuse in the installation
backplane. The fuse is only effective if the DC busbar is used. In this c ase, a single
pole fusing against short-circuit is sufficient.
ƒ ”Single Drive” controllers can be retrofit with a fuse in the mounting backplane. The
fuse will only be effective if the DC busbar is used. In this case, a single-pole fusing
against short-circuit is sufficient.
For retrofitting, use the E94AZJA0xx busbar mounting set.
ƒ If the DC bus is wired via the terminals +UG/-UG, always select a 2-pole cable
protection.
8.5.8 Filters
The following filters can be used for the DC-supply modules.
