NOTICE
Material damage due to overload
If an external bypass is used, the intrinsic device protection and the motor overload
protection will be deactivated. This can result in damage to the soft starter or the motor due
to overload.
Use an additional external overload protection to protect the soft starter and the motor from
damage due to overload.
