I am at a quandry with this. Can an accessory unit capable of being plugged in a 480 circuit be used?
Application:
VFD unit with overload protection.
Accessory: 5HP 480 volt motor with a three pole snap switch.
Situation: The 5HP motor is to be used with the VFD unit which has a 480 Volt plug which mates to the 480 volt receptacle.
Potential: This accessory has the potential of plugging directly to a source voltage, by an end user.
Advice: How can I explain this problem to the personell that there is a potential of Arc Flashing, in event of switch failure, no motor protection and .....
Please advise,
Andy
