Figure 10-15 Connection of the signaling contact using the VPM200 as an example
The X3 signaling contact is routed via a bistable relay. The relay may shift to the other
switching state if subjected to excessive movement during transportation and installation.
This may prevent the system from starting.
NOTICE
Damage as the short-circuit thyristor is still conducting
When a Voltage Protection Module is tripped and the short-circuit thyristor is still conducting
before the converter is switched on again, then this can result in damage to the system.
• The motor must have come to a standstill.
• Signal contact X3 must have closed again.
• Check that the thyristor is in a no voltage condition.
