Safety guidelines
Note
It is recommended that contactor controls QE* are wired to the relay outputs of the basic
unit.
Note
if the SIMOCODE pro S basic unit is used, an additional multifunction module is required for
this control function.
The typical change-over time from star to delta is between 100 ms and 150 ms.
Note
Spurious tripping can occur if you use the internal ground-fault detection for star-delta
connections. During delta operation, the summation current is non-zero due to harmonics.
Note
If the current measuring module is switched to delta (normal case), a current which is 1/√3
times smaller must be set for the star-delta starter control function.

Change-over pause
The switching time from star to delta can be extended by the change-over pause. Reason:
For motors with a high ratio between starting current and rated current, the line voltage plus
motor EMF might result in a very high delta starting current if the change-over pause is too
short. The motor EMF decreases if the pause is longer.
