Across-the-Line (Direct-on-Line) Bypass  
A suggested control schematic is shown below for using the TE2 …-BP 
Series rated for Across-the-Line Bypass with an External Overload: 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Figure APP4.2:  TE2 Wiring for Across-the-Line Bypass Operation with External Overload Relay 
(Only the terminals necessary for this operation are shown) 
In this example: 
The Start / Run command (2-wire or 3-wire) energizes a control Relay 
“CR”. If the selector Switch is in the “SS” (Soft Start) position, the CR 
contact closes the 24VDC control signal to TB1, terminals 1 & 3 of the 
TE2 Series and begins ramping. When At-Speed is reached, an internal 
Bypass Relay closes the Bypass Contactor. While in this mode, the 
CPU provides full motor protection, even in bypass.  
 
When the Selector Switch is placed in the “A-T-L” (Across-the-Line) 
position, a 2
nd
 isolated contact of CR closes between B1 and B2 of TB4 
which are internally connected in parallel to the Bypass Relay contact in 
the Bypass Contactor coil circuit. Since the TE2 electronics may be out 
of service, an External Overload is added which operates in this mode 
and protects the motor by dropping out the connection between B1 and 
B2.  
 
Caution:  
The circuit on TB-4, is at the same potential as the AC control 
voltage, but should not be directly connected to it. PC board 
damage may result.
