Leakage currents
During normal operation, leakage currents ≥ 3.5 mA may occur. In order to fulfill EN 61800-5-1, observe the following information:
- The ground connection (PE) must be installed in such a way that it meets the requirements for systems with high leakage currents.
- This usually means
- installing a PE connection cable with a minimum cross section of 10 mm2 (copper conductor)
- or installing a second PE connection cable in parallel to the protective earth. The cross section of the second PE connection cable must be at least as large as the cross section of the PE.
- According to DIN EN 61800-5-1, the second PE connection is not required if the line connection is equipped with a connector for industrial applications (according to IEC 60309) and if the supply system cable has a cross section of
≥2.5 mm2.
