DXM is connected to mains. This voltage is extremely dangerous and will cause death or severe injury if contacted. When RVS-DXM is connected to mains, even if control voltage is disconnected and motor is stopped, full vo The starter must be grounded to ensure correct operation, safety and to prevent damage.
5 Technical Data TECHNICAL DATA Introduction The RVS-DXM is a third generation, highly sophisticated and reliable starter designed for use with standard three-phase, three-wire, squirrel cage, induction motors. It provides the best method of reducing current and torque during motor starting.
Two voltage levels are available: 230VAC + 10%-15%, 50/60 Hz 115VAC+ 10%-15%, 50/60 Hz 3.3.4 Bus bars arrangement The RVS-DXM can be delivered in 4 different options thus makes its installation in the cabinet more flexible: RVS-DXM RVS-DXM RVS-DXM RVS-DXM...

Only possible when fan option is installed.
Reverse speed with RVS-DXM connected INSIDE DELTA. Notes: When installing the RVS-DXM INSIDE DELTA. it is highly recommended to use a line contactor (C1) or INSIDE DELTA. contactor (C2) in order to avoid a destruction of the motor in case of a shorted SCR in the RVS- DXM.
(1) Fuse rated voltage: Choose minimum fuse rated voltage which is above the rated voltage of the mains. (2) Fuse rated current: Select a fuse which is able to carry 7 times the rated RVS-DXM current for 30 seconds (this is double the maximum RVS-DXM current for the maximum acceleration time).

Wrong connection of the starter or the Motor, will seriously damage the motor. 1. It is highly recommended to use a contactor in series to the RVS-DXM or upstream (after motor protection) in order to avoid a destruction of the motor in case of a shorted SCR in the RVS-DXM.
It is recommended to mount the starter directly on the rear metal plate for better heat dissipation. Note: Do not mount the RVS-DXM directly on the rear metal plate in case a ventilation fan or ventilation opening is on the back side of the RVS-DXM.
