  • Page 12: Installation

    12 • Solstart Plus 145, 170 INSTALLATION WARNING! Do not interchange line and load connections Do not connect the Solstart Plus “Inside Delta” Prior to Installation Check that Motor’s Full Load Ampere (FLA) is lower than, or equal, to the starter’s Full Load Current (FLC) and that Mains and Control voltages are as indicated on the starter’s side label.

  • Page 13: Temperature Range & Heat Dissipation

    13 • Installation Note: For harsh environments (sewage treatment plants, etc.), it is recommended to order the starter with printed circuit board coating. Refer to section 3.7.1 on page 8 for ordering information. Temperature range & heat dissipation The starter is rated to operate over a temperature range of -10ºC (14ºF) to + 40ºC (104ºF). Relative non-condensed humidity inside the enclosure should not exceed 95%.

  • Page 14: Control Keypad

    Motor FLA is the motor's Full Load Current rating as shown on its nameplate. FLC is the starter Full Load Current as shown on its label. Example: When starting a 27A motor using Solstart Plus 31: FLC% × Therefore set the FLC% to a reading of 87% (see Ex.) 87 % °...
  • Page 15 15 • Control Keypad Potentiometer Description Range Initial Voltage 10-80% Determines the initial voltage to the motor (torque is directly proportional to the square of the voltage). Range: 10-80% of nominal voltage. This adjustment also determines the inrush current and mechanical shock.

  • Page 16: Indication Leds And Reset Button

    16 • Control Keypad Potentiometer Range Description Ramp Down 0.5-10 sec. Used to control deceleration of high friction loads. When Ramp-Down potentiometer is set, upon stop signal the starter output voltage is gradually ramped down. When "Ramp-down Time" is set to minimum, the motor will stop immediately.

  • Page 17: Starting Procedure

    17 • STARTING PROCEDURE STARTING PROCEDURE When mains voltage is connected to the Solstart Plus, even if control voltage is disconnected, full voltage may appear on the starter load terminals. Therefore, for isolation purposes, it is necessary to connect an isolating device before (upstream) the starter.

    20 • TROUBLE SHOOTING Upon Start the voltage and current increase until current reaches Current Limit value. The voltage remains at this value until motor reaches nominal speed, where current starts to decrease, voltage continues to ramp-up to nominal. At this time, the motor should have smoothly accelerated to full speed. TROUBLE SHOOTING Upon fault –...
