Chapter 4 – Connections 
 
4.1  
Power Connections 
Connect appropriately sized power conductors to the unit input 
terminals marked L1, L2, L3 (R, S, T for IEC users). Connection points 
for units of 160A and below are saddle clamps suitable for stranded 
wire. Connection points for units of 210A and above are bus tabs with 
pre-drilled holes (see section 2). Use appropriate compression or 
mechanical lugs for termination to these bus tabs. Avoid routing power 
wires over the control board or display. Connect the motor leads to the 
unit terminals marked T1, T2, T3 (U, V, W for IEC users). Refer to local 
code standards for wire sizing and length.  
If control power is present, but line power is disconnected from L1, L2, 
L3, the display will show [n3PH] indicating “no 3 Phase”. 
 
 
    CAUTION
 
Never interchange input and output connections to 
the unit. This could cause excessive voltage in the 
control logic circuit and may damage the unit. 
 
 
 
 
4.1.1   Bypass Contactor 
Bypass Contactors are integral (built-in) on all TE…-BP (panel mount), 
and all TE…–E (NEMA 12 enclosed) versions. See sections 3.2.1.c and 
4.2.5 for more details on contactor control and overload protection 
details. 
 
 
4.1.2   Power Factor Correction Capacitors 
Power factor correction capacitors can be connected to motors 
controlled by TE Series starters, however they must be off-line during 
ramping. Connect PFC capacitors to the Line side of the starter with a 
separate capacitor control contactor. 
 
   WARNING
  
Never connect power factor correction capacitors on 
the load side of the unit. The SCRs will be seriously 
damaged if capacitors are located on the load side. 
 
 
 
4.1.3   Grounding 
Connect the ground cable to the ground terminal as labeled on the unit. 
Refer to the National Electrical Code or your local Code for the proper 
ground wire sizing and be sure that the ground connector is connected 
to earth ground. In ungrounded systems, it is not necessary to connect 
a ground to the unit however local codes should always be consulted. 
*Larger units (210A and above) can 
be ordered with fan cooling instead of 
Bypass Contactors, but are intended 
for use in NEMA 1 ventilated 
enclosures only. Do not use the TE 
starter in a sealed enclosure without a 
bypass contactor.
