Fault differentiation:
with manual reset
(thermal overload) with auto reset

Provides indication between an overload trip and a short circuit trip.

Advanced control units only

24–250 Vac/Vdc
(power from control unit)

LUFDA10

Thermal overload
pre-alarm

Signals when the motor current reaches 1.05 of the full load setting on the control unit.

Advanced control units only

24–250 Vac/Vdc
(power from control unit)

LUFW10

Motor load indication

Provides a signal proportional to the average currents in the three phases divided by the full load current setting of the control unit. The output corresponds to a load status of 0–2 times the full load setting of the control unit.

Advanced or multi-function control units

4–20 mA
(requires separate 24 Vdc power supply)

LUFV2

Parallel wiring

Provides a convenient way to reduce control wiring and allow for connecting starters to a communications network by providing 24 Vdc for the starters.
