Max ocpd for abb vfd

[darekelec]

I have a situation where contractor run 200 amp wire and breaker to a starter of 30 hp motor.
I am swapping the starter for abb vfd.
Can I keep the 200 amp breaker or should I replace it with smaller?

Read the fine manual.

Eta: You may need to be using fuses. The breaker could stay but fusing or other protective device will need to be installed. RTFM

Manual is an inch thick book.

You have the condensed version.
Welcome to the world of VFDs.

Somewhere in the first few pages it states that you must read the entire book or words to that affect. CYA or not, it is where you need to begin.
