  • Page 5: Description

    These units can be supplied as an option to the TRU-START solid state starter, or as stand alone units for new or retrofit installations. Cutler-Hammer TRU-START DC Injection braking modules offer a unique combination of features that make it very reliable, easy to use, and energy efficient. These features include:...
  • Page 6: Application Notes

    1.2 APPLICATION NOTES The motor torque/speed characteristic of an induction motor under DC supply is similar to the normal curve published for constant frequency, at 50 or 60 Hz, but this time having "synchronous speed" zero RPM. This is illustrated below. For smooth braking the DC current is typically adjusted to 300% of the motor nameplate current.
  • Page 7: Controls

    1.3 CONTROLS The OP-STOP unit contains two major parts, the power circuit and the control card. The power circuit is a 4 SCR single phase full wave controlled rectifier. This configuration optimizes the DC current injected to the motor per input current. The control is contained in a single PC board, CA398-3.

  • Page 16: Faults

    3.5 FAULTS When a fault exists the DC Injection DCI relay is de-energized, preventing a properly interlocked starter from being activated. When an TRU-START DC Injection is used in conjunction with a C-H starter, this interlock is also carried out through signals passed by energized the ribbon cable at OPT.

    4 INSTALLATION AND START UP 4.1 INSPECTION The DC Injection unit has been packaged to protect it from damage caused by normal handling during shipping, however mishandling may cause damage to the DC Injection unit. Unpack the unit as soon as it is received and check for any shipping or storage damages. If damage is found notify the carrier.
  • Page 18: Wiring Guidelines

    4.4 WIRING GUIDELINES Follow all local electrical codes for installation requirements and wire sizing. Size the power wiring as per local code and on long wire runs it is recommended to use a larger wire size. Power factor correcting capacitors MUST NOT be connected to the DC Injection unit output. If desired, they must be connected on the line side of the unit.
