3. TECHNICAL DATA
3.1 Introduction
The RVS-DX is a third generation, highly sophisticated and reliable starter designed for use with
standard three-phase, three-wire, squirrel cage, induction motors.
It provides the best method of reducing current and torque during motor starting.
The RVS-DX starts the motor by supplying a slowly increasing voltage, providing soft start and smooth
acceleration, while drawing the minimum current necessary to start the motor.
The RVS-DX is equipped with internal by-pass controlled by its micro-controller. The by-pass closes
after the end of the starting process, thus reducing heating and saving power.

________________________________________________________________________________________
4. RECOMMENDED WIRING SCHEME
4.1 Typical wiring diagram
Notes:
(1) - Use fuses for type 2 coordination. Refer to section 4.3.1 on page 10
(2) - For Aux. input programming refer to section 7.6.9 on page 42
The use of solid state relays to control the digital inputs B1 and C1 is prohibited
(3) - For Aux. output programming refer to section 7.6.9 on page 42
(4) - Fault relay can function as a “Fault” relay or as a “Fail-Safe” relay. For Fault relay
programming refer to section 7.6.9 on page 42
(5) - When emergency Stop switch is required it is recommended to trip a series contactor
or the feeding circuit breaker. (Not shown)
(6) – Mains voltage of 230-600V available to all models. (need to be specified)
Mains voltage of 690V only available for RVS-DX390A and up.

9• Recommended Wiring Scheme
___________________________________________________________________________________________
4.2 Power wiring scheme for “Inside-Delta” Connection
(Refer to section 4.3.9 on page 12)
Connecting RVS-DX INSIDE DELTA
Reverse speed with RVS-DX connected INSIDE DELTA.
Notes:
When installing the RVS-DX INSIDE DELTA. it is highly recommended to
use a line contactor (C1) or INSIDE DELTA. contactor (C2) in order to avoid
a destruction of the motor in case of a shorted SCR in the RVS-DX.
If a contactor is connected Inside the Delta (C2) only, motor terminals are
“live” (full voltage) even when contactor is open.
4.3 88BWiring Notes
WARNINGS!
When mains voltage is connected to the RVS-DX, even if control voltage is
disconnected, full voltage may appear on the starter load terminals.
Therefore, for isolation purposes, it is necessary to connect an isolating device
before the starter.

10 • Recommended Wiring Scheme
________________________________________________________________________________________
Power factor correction capacitors and overvoltage devices must not be
installed on starters load side. When required, install capacitors or overvoltage
devices on starter’s line side.
4.3.1 Short Circuit Protection
For “class 2 coordination”, protect the starter against a short circuit by thyristor Protection Fuses for I²t
and fuses as in dictated in the following table:
Notes:
1. The above table is for maximum starting current of 400% of FLC, maximum starting time
of 5 sec and rated voltage up to 690V V.
2. Rating may change with different external conditions such as ambient temperature, forced
cooling etc. Refer to fuse manufacturer catalogs to confirm correct values.
4.3.2 Transient Protection
Line transient voltages can cause a malfunction of the starter and damage to the thyristors. All RVS-DX
starters incorporate Metal Oxide Varistors (MOV) to protect from normal line voltage spikes.
When higher transients are expected, additional external protection should be used (consult factory).
4.3.3 Control Supply (Terminals A1, A2)
220-240V or 110-120V, 50/60Hz is required to power the electronic circuitry and the bypass. Factory set
value is indicated on the starter’s side label.
This voltage can be from a grounded or ungrounded mains system.
In models up to 310A, voltage level 110V /220V can be changed in the field. (Refer to section 8.1 on
page 49)
4.3.4 Start/Stop (or 4.3.4momentary start) Input (terminal B1)
Input from a maintained contact. Close contact between A2 and B1 to soft start the motor.
To stop the motor open the contact.
If Deceleration time is set to a value other then 0 seconds the motor will soft stop.
If Deceleration time is set to 0 seconds the motor will stop immediately. (Refer to section 7.6.5 on page
35)
If Aux Input is set as Start / Stop, then terminal B1 is used as momentary N.O. Start input and input C1 is
used as maintained N.C Stop input. (Refer to section 7.6.9 on page 42)
For emergency stop of the motor disconnect control voltage from A1, A2 terminals.

4.3.5 Aux. Input (terminal C1)
Input from a maintained contact, connected between terminals A2 and C1 to operate as programmed
input.
Aux. Input can be programmed as one of six options:
(1) Dual Adjust
(2) Generator Function
(3) Slow Speed / Reverse
(4) External fault
(5) Remote reset after fault has been removed.
(6) Start / Stop (terminal C1 can be used as a maintained N.C Stop input and terminal B1 as
momentary N.O. Start input – refer also to section 4.3.4 above.
For Aux. Input programming refer to section 7.6.9 on page 42.
4.3.6 Auxiliary output relay (terminals 13, 14)
Voltage free, N.O , 8A, 250VAC, 1800VA max.
The contact incorporates 0-60 seconds On & Off delays. The auxiliary output relay can be programmed
to operate in two modes:
1. IMMEDIATE - Close its contact at start signal (after programmed “on delay” time has elapsed)
and open its contact at the end of deceleration time (if any) (after programmed “off delay” time has
elapsed).
2. END OF ACCEL. -Close its contact at end of soft start (after programmed “on delay” time has
elapsed) and open its contact at the beginning of soft stop (if any) (after programmed “off delay” time has
elapsed).
The relay contact will open also in case of a fault or upon control supply outage.
This output is generally used to:
(1) Release the brake of a brake motor.
(2) Interlocking with other systems.
(3) Signalling.
For Aux. output programming refer to section 7.6.9 on page 42.
4.3.7 Fault Contact (terminals 23, 24)
Voltage free, N.O , 8A, 250VAC, 1800VA max.
The contact changes its position upon fault and returns to its original position after fault has been
removed and starter was reset. When disconnection of Control Supply the contacts will be closed.
Fault relay can function as a “Fault” relay or as a “Fail-Safe” relay.
For Fault relay programming refer to section 7.6.9 on page 42.

Twisted shielded pair should be used, connect shield to ground a PLC/Computer side.Terminals (-) & (+)
must be wired to control supply for operation in communication mode. Leave terminal NC not connected.
Note: When DeviceNet option is required an external device will be provided with the option.
This gateway is connected via 2 wires to the optional Modbus terminals.
Refer to section 7.6.10 on page 44.
4.3.9 “Inside-Delta” mode
4.3.9.1 General information
When the RVS-DX is installed “Inside Delta”, the individual phases of the Starter are connected in series
with the individual motor windings (6 conductor connections as with the star-delta starter). The soft
starter must only conduct about 67 % (=1\1.5) of the rated motor current. This ensures the use of a
significantly smaller device.
For example:
For a motor with a rated current of 155A motor, a 170A starter will be selected to operate “In-Line”.
For “Inside Delta” starter, we calculate (155 x 67% = 104A) and select a 105A starter.
Less heat dissipates in the cabinet vs. the standard “In-Line” connection.

13 • Recommended Wiring Scheme
___________________________________________________________________________________________
4.3.9.2 Notes on “Inside Delta” connection
•“Inside Delta” requires 6-wire to the motor.
•Wrong motor connection will cause serious damage to the motor windings.
•When installing the RVS-DX “inside delta” it is highly recommended to use a contactor in
series to the RVS-DX or upstream (after motor protection) in order to avoid a destruction
of the motor in case of a shorted SCR in the RVS-DX.
•The sinusoidal shape of the current is imperfect (since each phase is separately fired and
not influenced by other phase firing).
As a result, higher harmonic content is incurred (THD), which can be as high as twice the
THD value as in the standard “In-Line”.
•Higher motor heating is expected for the same motor size (due to the higher THD).
•Phase sequence must be correct; otherwise, “Phase Sequence fault” will trip the starter
immediately (without any damage).
•Higher torques can not be obtained
•Factory preset - features and functions when “Inside Delta” mode is configured:
oNo Pulse Start.
oNo curve selection (Curve 0 !! only).
oNo Slow Speed
oNo Phase sequence “Off” mode
Note :
For a high starting torque process, it is recommended to use the starter in the “In Line” connection.
WARNINGS!
Beware!
Wrong connection of the starter or the Motor, will seriously damage the motor.
When using “Inside delta” connection:
1. It is highly recommended to use a contactor in series to the RVS-DX
or upstream (after motor protection) in order to avoid a destruction of the
motor in case of a shorted SCR in the RVS-DX.
2. If Contactor is connected Inside the Delta, motor terminals are “live” (full
voltage) even when contactor is open.

(1) C1 is a line contactor.
(2) C2 is an “Inside Delta” contactor.
(3) U1-U2, V1-V2, W1-W2 are motor’s windings.
(4) L1-U, L2-V, L3-W are RVS-DX controlled phases.

WARNING!
Do not interchange line and load connections
6.1 89BPrior to Installation
Check that Motor’s Full Load Ampere (FLA) is lower than, or equal, to the starter’s Full Load Current
(FLC) and that Mains and Control voltages are as indicated on the starter’s side label.
Make sure Starter’s FLC≥ Motor FLA!
Make sure Mains voltage is right!
Make sure Control voltage is right!
RVS-DX label - example
6.2 90BMounting
The starter must be mounted vertically. Allow sufficient space (at least 100mm) above and below the
starter for suitable airflow.
It is recommended to mount the starter directly on the rear metal plate for better heat dissipation.
Note:
Do not mount the RVS-DX directly on the rear metal plate in case a ventilation fan or ventilation opening
is on the back side of the RVS-DX.
Do not mount the starter near heat sources.
Surrounding air temperature in the cabinet should not exceed 40ºC
Protect the starter from dust and corrosive atmospheres.
Note: For harsh environments (sewage treatment plants, etc.), it is recommended to order the starter
with printed circuit board coating. Refer to section 3.3.6 on page 7 for ordering information.
6.3 91BTemperature range & heat dissipation
The starter is rated to operate over a temperature range of -10ºC (14ºF) to + 40ºC (104ºF).
Relative non-condensed humidity inside the enclosure should not exceed 95%.
ATTENTION!
Operating at surrounding air temp. (Inside the cabinet) higher than 40ºC may
cause damage to the starter.
Starter’s heat dissipation while motor is running and the internal bypass relays are closed is typically less
than 0.4 x In (in watts). During soft start and soft stop, heating is approximately three times the actual
starting current (In watts).
Example: For a 100A motor, heat dissipation is less than 40 watts while running and during starting (for
example at 350A), heat dissipation is approximately 1050 watts.
Important note: If motor is frequently started, cabinet should be designed for the higher heat dissipation.
Internal enclosure heating can be reduced through the use of additional ventilation.
