Title: WEG Direct online starter
Post by notquitesure on Feb 22^nd, 2011, 4:13pm

Hi wondered if anyone can help me fit this direct online starter as I am fairly new to working with motors and starters.
This is a link to the wiring diagram I am using

http://www.scribd.com/doc/21761778/DOL-Starter

I am using the single phase connections but I'm not sure how the starter is fitted

Thanks any help would be greatly appreciated!

This is a fairly generic pic:

The hold in contact is part of the start button on all modern DOL starters, in fact the green button usually actually presses directly on the hold on contact......

Yes, the rectangular box with the green square on Lecs drawing holds 2 sets of contacts, one N/O & one N/C.
Once you press the button, the contactor closes and the N/C contacts hold it in.
