Requirement for Remote Control Unit (RCU) for small motor
(OP)
Hi,
Our company standard states the following requirements:
"Electric drives shall be provided with an RCU mounted local to the motor. By means of this RCU, motors can be started/stopped and, in the "O" (neutral) position, automatically control"
Is this common practice even for small LV motor (< 50kW)?

An explosion? A fire? A catastrophic equipment failure?
If that's possible the OEMs lawyers will fight not only them installing the RCU, but fight you doing it too. But if your company has done their homework and your specs and purchase order and agreement are handled properly it'll be mostly a matter of getting their engineering dept to do the work. They may be aware of aspects of their equipment and control system design that they themselves distrust or dislike.
