Total operating current of the indoor unit
F0 = 15 A or less *2
F0 = 20 A or less *2
F0 = 30 A or less *2
Apply to IEC61000-3-3 about max. permissive system impedance.
*1 The Ground-fault interrupter should support inverter circuit.
The Ground-fault interrupter should combine using of local switch or wiring breaker.
*2 Please take the larger of F1 or F2 as the value for F0.
F1 = Total operating maximum current of the indoor units × 1.2
F2 = {V1 × (Quantity of Indoor unit 1)/C} + {V1 × (Quantity of Indoor unit 2)/C} + {V1 × (Quantity of Indoor unit 3)/C} + ···

• V1 and V2
V1 and V2 are the breaker coefficient.
V1: Breaker coefficient of rated current
V2: Breaker coefficient of current sensitivity
The values of V1 and V2 differ from depending on the model. Therefore, please refer to IM of each model.
• C : Multiple of tripping current at tripping time 0.01 s
Please pick up "C" from the tripping characteristic of the breaker.
<Example of "F2" calculation>
• Condition TPLFYP∙EM × 4 + PEFY-NMAU × 1, C = 8 (refer to right sample chart)
V1 of TPLFYP∙EM = 19.8, V1 of PEFY-NMAU = 38
F2 = 19.8 × 4/8 + 38 × 1/8
= 14.65
→ 16 A breaker (Tripping current = 8 × 16 A at 0.01 s)
*3 Current sensitivity is calculated using the following formula.
G1 = V2 × (Quantity of Indoor unit 1) + V2 × (Quantity of Indoor unit 2) + V2 × (Quantity of Indoor unit 3) + V2 × ···
+ V3 × (Wire length [km])
<Example of "G1" calculation>
*Condition : PKFY-NLMU × 2 + PLFY-NEMU × 2 + PEFY-NMAU × 1
V2 of PKFY-NLMU = 2.4, V2 of PLFY-NEMU = 2.4, V2 of PEFY-NMAU = 1.6, Wire thickness and length: 1.5 mm
G1 = 2.4 × 2 + 2.4 × 2 + 1.6 × 1 + 48 × 0.2
= 20.8
As a result, current sensitivity is 30 mA 0.1 sec or less.

5.2. Power supply wiring
• Wiring size must comply with the applicable local and national codes.
• Use copper supply wires.
Use UL wires rated 300 V or more for the power supply cords.
• Install a ground wire longer than other cables.
• A switch with at least 3 mm, 1/8 inch contact separation in each pole shall be
provided by the air conditioner installation.
