4.3 Power connections
4.3.1 Motor connection
Digistart IS soft starters can be connected to the motor in-line or inside delta (also called three-wire and six-wire connection). When
connecting in inside delta, enter the motor full load current (FLC) for Pr 1A. The Digistart IS will automatically detect whether the
motor is connected in-line or inside delta and will calculate the correct inside delta current level.
For personnel safety, the power terminals on models up to IS1x0105B are protected by snap-off tabs. When using large
cables, it may be necessary to break off these tabs.
Models which are internally bypassed do not require an external bypass contactor.
