What happens when Y-∆ switching occurs properly:
•
The delta confirmation signal is generated, and the drive output continues

What happens when Y-∆ switching does not occur properly:
•
In this example, the delta-connection confirmation input does not turn on� Two seconds after
Delay Time for Y-D Switching (P2�22) has elapsed, the GS4 drive sets a Y-D Connect Error (61)�
