6.1.10 ECB Run Permissive

General information
With run permissive active, the drive sends a run request
and waits for a remote response to before notifying the
motor to start. The response indicates the system is safe to
operate. Run permissive operates from the LCP hand/off/
auto select in drive or bypass mode. Run permissive is
enabled by programming in the drive parameters.
Before enabling run permissive
•
Complete the start-up procedure to verify motor
rotation direction in bypass is correct and that
the system is ready in all respects for continuous
full speed operation in bypass.
•
Verify that the drive is programmed for the run
permissive function. See the drive support
materials for programming the run permissive
function.
Operation
•
A start command can be initiated from local hand
start, serial communications, or a remote auto
start signal through digital drive input terminals.
•
In response to the start command, an output
request is sent from the programmable drive
relay to the external equipment (to activate a
valve or damper, for example).
•
When a return run signal on the digital input is
received, the motor is started in either drive or
bypass, depending upon which mode is active.
Run permissive function setup
•
See the drive manual or support materials for
programming and wiring to the drive control
terminals.
•
Wire the output run request to the drive output
terminals selected, and program the terminals for
run request.
•
Wire the input run command to the drive input
terminals selected, and program the terminals for
run permissive.

6.1.11 ECB Overload

General information
An overload device provides overcurrent protection for the
motor when running in bypass. The thermally activated
overload monitors motor current and trips to remove
power to the motor if a sustained overcurrent condition
exists. A Class 20 overload is standard with a variable
setting for motor current. Test and reset buttons are also
provided. In drive mode, the drive provides current sensing
and trip protection. Fuses provide quick action for high
over current conditions.
Before enabling overload
MOTOR DAMAGE!
REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO RESET OVERLOAD CAN CAUSE
MOTOR DAMAGE. CORRECT OVERLOAD CONDITION AND
LET OVERLOAD AND MOTOR RETURN TO NORMAL
OPERATING TEMPERATURE BEFORE RESETTING. SEE MOTOR
MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDATIONS FOR TIME
BETWEEN START ATTEMPTS. FAILURE TO CORRECT
OVERLOAD CONDITION AND LET MOTOR RETURN TO
NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE COULD CAUSE
MOTOR DAMAGE.
Operation
Overloads and motors are both rated by class. The class is
defined by the NEC to determine the maximum time to
trip. A Class 20 overload, for example, has a typical trip
delay of 20 s or less at 600% current and normal operating
temperature. This allows for high motor inrush current for
20 s while the motor is ramping up to synchronous speed.
The trip time, however, is based on the percentage of
overload. The higher the overload, the shorter the time.

•
Disable run permissive through the drive
parameters and terminal programming.
•
Verify that the overload current dial setting
matches the motor FLA rating on the motor
nameplate.
•
If the motor FLA is greater or less than range of
the current dial, reconfirm that the motor hp and
voltage are within the option panel (and drive)
rating. If less than the FLA rating, replace the
overload with the correct size. If greater than the
FLA rating, replace the panel with one of a
proper rating.
