Coupling Starters

This section describes how to join adjacent starters with accessories for use in two direction, two speed, and wye-delta Avatars. Refer to the bill of materials (BOM) and the TeSys island topology to determine which starters require installation of accessories. See also Avatar Composition. Join the starters with the accessories before mounting them on DIN rail.
