Leakage current increases due to high-frequency component of inverter output voltage. The rated sensitivity current of the earth-leakage circuit breaker shall be 100 mA or more to prevent unnecessary operations.
The circuit breaker is designed nor for prevention of electrical shocks, but for prevention of a fire caused by electrical leakage. For this reason, remedies (1), (2), and (5) described on the right side should be observed.
