Overcurrent Protection Devices (OCPD)

Overcurrent Protection Devices (OCPDs), such as circuit breakers, protect electrical circuits from overload.

Caution

Contact a certified electrician to choose suitable OCPDs.

  • Use a circuit breaker with a short-time delay (magnetic trip threshold between 3 to 5 times the rated current)

  • Machines per OCPD: the sum of the rated currents must not exceed the nominal rating of the OCPD.

Caution

Do not use the OCPD to turn the machines on/off.
