ASTAT-XT RVSS PANEL
Incoming power cables should be terminated at line side of the lugs provided
with the Circuit breaker or Disconnect switch.
Locate terminals (T1, T2, and T3) in the panels and use these terminals to
connect the motor wires. Depending on actual panel configuration, motor
cables should be terminated on the load side lugs provided with the core
Softstater (non-bypass panel), Power Distribution blocks (AC1 Bypass panel)
and Overload relay (AC3 Bypass contactor configurations).
For Softstater panels of certain HP ratings & panel configuration, no lugs are
provided with the overload relay. Use appropriate size UL listed ring or fork or
suitable ferrule to terminate the cables on busbars terminals of overload
relay. Refer to Appendices for details for units with bus bar terminals for
motor connections.
Refer tables for Torque values for customer input and output power
connections, which are shown in pages in later part of this document
CONTROL WIRING (120 VAC)
All field wiring shall have a minimum insulation rating of 75

C (167

F).
Size wire according to local and national codes.
All control wiring must be routed away from power wiring. If control wiring is
routed parallel to signal wiring (24 Vdc or less), isolation of the signal wiring
must be maintained. A minimum of four (4) inches is needed to adequately
separate signal and control wiring. If signal wire is UL recognized shielded
cable, separation can be minimized to a one (1) inch separation.
SIGNAL WIRING (24 VDC or less)
All field wiring shall have a minimum insulation rating of 75

C (167

F).
CAUTION: Do not connect power supply voltage greater than panel
rated voltage, or damage will occur to equipment.
WARNING: Never connect or disconnect input wiring with voltage
applied, a serious or fatal injury may result.
WARNING: Never connect or disconnect output wiring with voltage
applied, a serious or fatal injury may result.
