Operating “Inside the Delta”
Using the RVS-DX soft starter “inside the delta” reduces the required soft starter rating by 1.73 ( √3)
factor. For example, for a 150 amp, 460 volt motor, the RVS-DX-170-D is selected to operate in
standard “line” mode. However, for “inside the delta” mode (150 amp
÷1.73=87 amps), the RVS-
DX-105-D can be selected, thereby, reducing cost and physical space in the application.
The following programming parameters are disabled, once the ‘inside the delta’ is selected:
• Pulse Start
• Pump Curve selection (only standard curve available)
• Slow Speed and Slow Speed Reverse
• Phase Sequence
The motor rating for standard “Line” and “Inside the Delta” connections are show here:
HP Ratings are approximate. The RVS-DX should always be sized by the motor full load amps for
“line” starting and the motor FLA/1.73=soft starter FLA for “inside delta”.
