Power Supply System Requirements - ABB IRC5 Compact Product Manual

2.6.3 Power supply system requirements

Definition of the power supply system
IEC 60364 defines three different types of mains grounding using the two-letter
codes. These are TN, TT, and IT.
First letter
T
I
Second letter
T
N
In the following section the transformer configuration refers to the transformer
secondary side. Configuration of the transformer primary side is not discussed in
this context.
Recommended power supply systems
The following systems are recommended by ABB:
TN−S system
PE and N are separate conductors that are
connected together only near the transformer.
xx1700001310
Not recommended power supply systems
The following systems are not recommended by ABB:
TT system (separate ground rods)
If this kind of system must be used, the
grounding path resistance between ground
1 and 2 shall not exceed 0.1 Ohm, for more
information refer to UL1740.

Type of ground connection
Direct connection of one point to ground.

2.6.3 Power supply system requirements
TN−C system
A combined PEN conductor is used as both
a PE and an N conductor.

Resistance grounded secondary system
If this kind of system must be used, the
voltage variations between any line and PE
should not exceed ±10% of the nominal line
voltage, for more information refer to EN
50160.
