Table 4.6 Minimum and Maximum Full Load Current
4.6 Bypass Contactor
Some VLT
®
Soft Starter MCD 500 soft starters are internally
bypassed and do not require an external bypass contactor.
Non-bypassed soft starters may be installed with an
external bypass contactor. Select a contactor with an AC1
rating greater than or equal to the full load current rating
of the connected motor.
4.7 Main Contactor
Install a main contactor if the VLT
®
Soft Starter MCD 500 is
connected to the motor in inside delta format and is
optional for in-line connection. Select a contactor with an
AC3 rating greater than or equal to the full load current
rating of the connected motor.
4.8 Circuit Breaker
A shunt trip circuit breaker may be used instead of a main
contactor to isolate the motor circuit in the event of a soft
starter trip. The shunt trip mechanism must be powered
from the supply side of the circuit breaker or from a
separate control supply.
