5.7.2 Motor Connection

The VLT® Soft Starter MCD 600 can be connected to the motor in-line or inside delta (also called 3-wire and 6-wire connection). When
connecting in inside delta, enter the FLC for parameter 1-2 Motor Full Load Current. The MCD 600 automatically detects whether the
motor is connected in-line or inside delta and calculates the correct inside delta current level.
If the soft starter is not detecting the motor connection correctly, use parameter 20-6 Motor Connection.
