The following information is required:

- We need to know more about the motor(s), I.e. whether this is a soft-start, on-line start etc. motor, I.e. more information about the motor and its load assuming that it is only one motor you are going to connect

- The voltage of the motor

- The upstream configuration so that we can calculate what short-circuit currents could be necessary to switch, I.e. transformers, cables, circuit breaker configuration etc.
