4.4 Installing a circuit protector
To ensure safety, a circuit protector must be installed in the power supply connection
section of the robot controller.
An inrush current, which might be from several to more than 10 times higher than the
rated current, flows at the instant the controller is turned on or the robot motors start to
operate. When installing an external circuit protector for the robot controller, select a
circuit protector that provides optimum operating characteristics.
To ensure proper operation, we recommend using a medium to slow response circuit
protector with an inertial delay function. (Refer to the circuit protector manufacturer's
data sheets for making the selection.)
