frankiep Posts: 1 Rating: (0)	hello, my company was called to expand an electrical panel where there are several inverter sinamics g120. we substitute no. 3 inverter 7.5 kW inverter with no. 3 to 30 kW (their pumps were also changed). To protect the supply lines of the inverters we installed no. 3 5SY43638 (circuit breaker) and 3 5SM26358 (RCD). These RCD are 3P 63A 0.3A type A. The problem is that when the inverter exceeds a certain threshold (about 80%) the RCD open the circuit. Why is this happening? I have to change the type of RCD? Which one should I use?
