About this manual About this manual WARNING Indicates a hazard that may cause personal injury or death. CAUTION Indicates a hazard that may damage the equipment or installation. NOTE Provides helpful information. Disclaimer The examples and diagrams in this manual are included solely for illustrative purposes. The information contained in this manual is subject to change at any time and without prior notice.
Caution statements Caution statements Caution statements cannot cover every potential cause of equipment damage but can highlight common causes of damage. It is the installer's responsibility to read and understand all instructions in this manual prior to installing, operating or maintaining the equipment, to follow good electrical practice including applying appropriate personal protective equipment and to seek advice before operating this equipment in a manner other than as described in this manual.
Caution statements Unexpected operation WARNING – ACCIDENTAL STARTS In some installations, accidental starts may pose an increased risk to safety of personnel or damage to the machines being driven. In such cases, it is recommended that the power supply to the soft starter is fitted with an isolating switch and a circuit-breaking device (eg power contactor) controllable through an external safety system (eg emergency stop, fault detector).

System design Model selection Starter sizing The soft starter must be the correct size for the motor and the application. Select a soft starter that has a current rating at least equal to the motor's full load current (nameplate) rating, at the start duty. The soft starter's current rating determines the maximum motor size it can be used with.
System design Current ratings Contact your local supplier for ratings under operating conditions not covered by these ratings charts. IEC ratings All ratings are calculated at altitude of 1000 metres and ambient temperature of 40 ºC. • In-line installation, bypassed 3.0-10:350 3.5-15:345 4.0-10:350...
System design Finger guard kit Finger guards may be specified for personnel safety. Finger guards fit over the soft starter terminals to prevent accidental contact with live terminals. Finger guards provide IP20 protection when used with cable of diameter 22 mm or greater. Finger guards are available for models 0184B~1250B.
System design 3.10 Power factor correction If power factor correction is used, a dedicated contactor should be used to switch in the capacitors. To use the soft starter to control power factor correction, connect the PFC contactor to a programmable relay set to Run. When the motor reaches full speed, the relay will close and power factor correction will be switched in.

Installation Externally bypassed installation The soft starter is installed with a main contactor (AC3 rated) and an external bypass contactor. To bypass the soft starter during run, use an external bypass contactor with an AC1 rating. To bypass the soft starter completely (to allow direct on-line starting if the starter is damaged), use an external bypass contactor with an AC3 rating.

Operation PowerThrough PowerThrough allows the soft starter to control the motor even if the soft starter is damaged on one phase. The soft starter will use two-phase control techniques to soft start and soft stop the motor. PowerThrough does not support adaptive control soft starting or soft stopping. In PowerThrough, the soft starter will use constant current soft starting and timed voltage ramp soft stopping.
Operation • Parameter 7C Input A Trip Delay: sets a delay between the input activating and the soft starter tripping. • Parameter 7D Input A Initial Delay: sets a delay before the soft starter monitors the state of the input, after the start signal. For example, a delay may be required to allow time for pipeline pressure to build up.

Operation Adaptive Control is ideal for pumping applications, where it can minimise the damaging effects of fluid hammer. We recommend testing the three profiles to identify the best profile for the application. Adaptive Stop Profile Application Late Deceleration High head systems where even a small decrease in motor/pump speed results in a rapid transition between forward flow and reverse flow.

Operation • Parameter 2O DC Brake Torque: set as required to slow the load. If set too low, the motor will not stop completely and will coast to stop after the end of the braking period. • Parameter 2P DC Brake Time: Set Brake Time (parameter 2P) to approximately one quarter of the programmed Stop Time.
Operation 8.10 Pump clean The starter can perform a pump clean function before soft starting the motor. This can help dislodge debris from the impeller. Pump clean starts the motor in reverse then forward direction, then stops the motor. Pump clean can be configured to repeat the process up to 5 times.
