Earthing and earth fault protection
The Vacon NX frequency converter must always be earthed with an earthing conductor connected to the PE
bar in the lower front side of the cabinet.
The earth fault protection inside the frequency converter protects only the converter itself against earth
faults in the motor or the motor cable. It is not intended for personal safety.
Due to the high capacitive currents present in the frequency converter, fault current protective switches
may not function properly.
