SAFETY
To compliance with IEC-62271-200 The user must connect the soft starter through a medium voltage switchgear
equipped with a switch and a ground connection that permits a visible cut between the SS and the MV line. Additionally
it must be equipped with a mechanical interlock and padlock to avoid mal-function or unexpected reconnections. The
installer must ensure that VS65 doors cannot be opened without the protection cell activated and locked.
The VS65 SS can optionally be equipped with a ground fault monitoring relay. The installer must ensure the current
unbalance threshold to ensure personal safety and fire protection according to the local regulations.
It is recommended the installation of surge arrester to ground to protect against transient overvoltages. The surge
arrester must have rated voltage greater than the drive voltage range to prevent its operation during normal conditions.
