Electronic Bypass Option Overview
General Description
During normal operation in a typical
application, the input and output
contactors close and the SED2
operates the motor (Figure 1). The
bypass contactor provides the ability to
operate the motor on utility power and
eliminate the SED2 from the motor
control circuit. The SED2 Electronic
Bypass Option also allows you to select
features that enhance the control of the
contactors and the outputs that report
operation.
