Earth leakage- troubleshooting

[bamia]

Hello everyone,

I was troubleshooting earth leakage VFD error (ABB ACH580) and the manual suggested the following, among other things:

Check there are no power factor correction capacitors or surge absorbers in motor cable

Could you please expand on that, why and how would those two things produce earth leakage fault. (not applicable in my case but just curious)


Thanks
