3.2.2 Soft Starters in Standard Circuits
The SIRIUS 3RW44 soft starter is connected in the motor branch between the
disconnector or circuit breaker and the motor.
The 3RW44 soft starter automatically detects the type of connection of the soft
starter, meaning that this does not have to be explicitly set on the device. The
detected connection type can be read on the starter under the menu item "Status
display/Type of connection". In this case, the
display reads "Star/delta". If the circuitry is faulty or the motor is not connected,
the display shows "Unknown".

Notice
If a main or line contactor is used, this contactor must not be connected
between the soft starter and the motor or in the return line between the motor
and the soft starter. The soft starter would otherwise not recognize the current
circuit version (standard circuit or inside delta circuit) and would output the error
message: "Missing load phase 1-3", or ensure that the circuit is closed before
the 3RW44 is activated.
