Warnings
Isolation
Caution: VMX-agility
TM
uses semiconductor devices in the main circuit and is not designed to provide
isolation. For this reason, isolation means must be installed in the supply circuit in accordance with the
appropriate wiring and safety regulations.
Electrical Control Supply Requirements
All electrical connections are made to power input and output terminals, control terminals and an earth
stud.
Fuse Protection
The Mains Supply and the Control Supply each require protection. Although all units have electronic
overload protection for the Soft Starter, the installer should always fit fuses, for motor protection,
between the unit and the Mains Supply, not between the unit and the motor. Semiconductor fuses can
be supplied as an option for short-circuit protection of the semiconductors. These fuses must be fitted
externally to the VMX-agility
TM
chassis to comply with certain standards. It is the responsibility of the
installer and system designer/specifier to ensure that the required standards or regulations are not
affected by so doing.
Safety
VMX-agility
TM
soft starters contain hazardous voltages when connected to the electrical power supply.
