A second smaller inrush spike will occur. McQuay does not recommend use of this type of starter.
  • Page 6: Receiving And Setting

    The unit should be inspected immediately after receipt for possible damage. All McQuay centrifugal starters are shipped FOB factory and all claims for handling and shipping damage are the responsibility of the consignee. Extreme care must be used when rigging the starter to prevent damage. See the certified dimension drawings included in the job submittal for the center of gravity of the unit.
  • Page 7 Safety Precautions Electrical codes require that all equipment (starter, motor, operator station, etc.) be properly grounded. An incoming disconnect must be locked open before wiring or servicing the starter, motor, or other related equipment. The equipment must only be serviced by qualified personnel fully familiar with the equipment.

    Separate Power Source Chiller control power usually comes from a control transformer located in the starter and factory or field wired to the chiller control panel. In the event a separate transformer supplies control voltage, it must be rated at 3 KVA, with an inrush rating of 12 KVA minimum at 80% power factor and 95% secondary voltage.

  • Page 38 reducing motor heating. If a Wye to Delta transition has not already occurred, a transition will always occur when the complete UTS / Transition Time (QST 09, P9) expires. The D3 control can operate two configurations of Wye-Delta starters, open transition and closed transition.
  • Page 39: Figure 11, Wye Delta Profile

    The starter will remain in the Delta or running mode until the start command is removed or a fault occurs. Usually the D3 intelligent Wye to Delta transition algorithm provides an optimal transition point that minimizes the transient current and torque surges that can occur. However sometimes, based on the motor and loading, the Wye to Delta transition will occur only after the Transition Time has expired.

    Menu Structure The Micro II control has a 2 level menu structure. There are eight main menus that contain parameters related to the different functions of the starter and five of the main menus contain additional sub-menus that divide the parameters into functional groups. The following shows the structure of the menu structure.

Quick Start Motor FLA Parameter Description The motor FLA parameter must be set to the full load amps of the motor connected to the starter for the starter to function correctly. NOTE: The starter uses the entered motor FLA for every current based calculation.
  • Page 56 Int. Curr. (initial current) Description The initial current parameter is set as a percentage of the motor FLA parameter setting. The initial current parameter sets the current that will initially reach the motor when a start is commanded. If the motor does not rotate within a few seconds after a start command, the initial current should be increased.
