A motor start is detected as described in section 3.1.
3.1.3.1
Number of Starts (66)
This feature is used where plant or motor operational constraints are to be considered or to ensure that permitted
winding temperatures are not exceeded.
Gn 66 Max. Number of Starts setting allows the user to select the maximum permissible number of starts
Once the maximum permissible number of starts has occurred within the defined period then starting is
inhibited for the duration of the start inhibit delay setting.
Gn 66 Max. Starts Period setting is the minimum time interval within which the assigned number of starts
may occur (e.g. starts per hour for a notching or jogging device.
Gn 66 Start Inhibit Delay setting: Where the number of starts has been exceeded within the 'max starts
period' starting is inhibited until this time delay has elapsed.
Gn 66 Time Between Starts setting is provided to determine the minimum permissible time between two
consecutive starts.
Gn 66 Restore After Power Down setting: Where enabled the number of motor starts recorded to the
relay powering down is restored when the relay is powered up again.
A restart is inhibited by the same output contact used for the thermal restart inhibit feature. The restart inhibit
output is only energised after the motor has stopped (current falls below I
progress is not interrupted.
A 'Start Protection Reset' command is available in the 'Maintenance Menu' which allows the user to reset both the
Number of Starts and the Minimum Time Between Starts features.
