Indication Two LED Indicators are provided on MCD 100 soft starters: • Stand by • On Each LED can be off, on or flashing. LED 1 LED 2 Stand by Starting Full on Stopping Line or load error
Example 1 Example 2 Application MCD 100 can be installed with our without a line contactor. Motor overload protection must be mounted seperately (overload relay or circuit breaker). Short circuit protection can be obtained with fuses or circuit breaker. Use semiconductor fuses to protect the soft starter. • MCD 100 • Soft start/stop • Circuit Breaker • Overload protection • Short circuit protection • Line contactor • Start/stop and isolation • MCD 100 • Line controlled soft • start/stop • Circuit Breaker • Overload protection • Short circuit protection
