Safety instructions
Safety
The softstarter should be installed in a cabinet or in an
electrical control room.
• The device must be installed by trained personnel.
• Disconnect all power sources before servicing.
• Always use standard commercial fuses, slow blow e.g. gl,
gG types, to protect the wiring and prevent short
circuiting. To protect the thyristors against short-circuit
currents, superfast semiconductor fuses can be used if
preferred. The normal guarantee is valid even if superfast
semiconductor fuses are not used.
