The table below indicates the selection of the power switching components necessary to build up a star delta starters, with mechanical interlocks between star and delta contactors, suitable for mounting on DIN rail in a suitable control panel.
Notes:
- In some cases, the starter can be supplied assembled (prefix LC3) with the overload relay supplied separately. These should be checked on a case-by-case basis, as some are obsolete.
- Overload selection is based on the motor full load current (FLC) x 0.58 due to the mounting position in the 'delta loop'.
- In the case of 110 and 132 kW there is a requirement for a separate control relay and timer to ensure sufficient delay in the changeover time from star to delta contactor.

Replace *** with the following codes for coil voltage:
BNE - 24-60V AC/DC
EHE - 48-130V AC/DC
KUE - 100-250V AC/DC
LSE - 200-500V AC/DC (Only for LC1D115A & LC1D150A - For 415V AC on other contactors use 'N7')
Replace •• with the following codes for coil voltage:
B7 - 24V AC
F7 - 110V AC
P7 - 230V AC
U7 - 240V AC
N7 - 415V AC
