## **Mode of O eration p** The soft-start and soft-stop time can be adjusted from 0.5 to approx. 7s. This motor controller is intended to be used to softstart/ softstop 3-phase squirrel cage induction motors and thereby reduce the stress or wear on gear and belt/chain drives and to give smooth operation of machines. Soft starting and/or stopping is achieved by controlling the motor voltage. During running operation the semiconductor is bypassed by an internal electromechanical relay. A green LED indicates supply. Two yellow LEDs indicate Ramp up/down and Running mode. Overload protection is not provided in this motor controller and must therefore be installed separately. The controller is switching 2 lines. The 3rd line is continuously connected to the load. The initial torque can be adjusted from 0 to 85% of the nominal torque. ## **Semiconductor Data** **==> picture [223 x 45] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

Changing a Direct On Line start
into a soft start is very simple
with the RSE soft-starting re- L1 L2 L3 L1 L2 L3
lay:
A1
1) Cut the cable to the motor
and insert the RSE relay. A2
A3
2) Connect control input to two U/T1 U/T2 W/T3 U/T1 U/T2 W/T3
of the incoming lines. Set
initial torque to minimum and Y M M
ramp up and down to maxi-
mum.
Fig. 1
3) Power up again - adjust the
start torque so the motor
starts turning immediately L1 L2 L3 L1 L2 L3 N
after power is applied, and
adjust ramp time to the
peep PeRL
appropriate value.
When C1 is operated, the L1 L2 L3 L1 L2 L3
motor controller will performsoft-start of the motor. When A1
C1 is switched off, the motor
will stop, the motor controller A2
will reset and after 0.5 s a new A3
soft-start can be performed. U/T1 U/T2 W/T3 U/T1 U/T2 W/T3

Please note that the controller does not insulate the motor from the mains. Contactor C1 is therefore needed as a service switch for the motor. _Fig. 2 For voltages higher than 480 VAC_ ## **Soft-start and soft-stop** _(Fig. 3_ ) When S1 is closed, soft-start of the motor will be performed according to the setting of the ramp-up potentiometer and the setting of the initial torque potentiometer. When S1 is opened, soft-stop will be performed according to the setting of the ramp-down potentiometer. **==> picture [51 x 132] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

For higher ambient temperature add 5%/°C to values in the tables. The shaded areas in the tables are for blocked rotor. Do not repeat rampings with blocked rotor. To prevent the semiconductors from overheating, a certain time between ramping should be allowed. The time between rampings depends on the motor current during ramping and ramp time (see tables below). ## **RSE .. 03 - B** ## **Time between rampings** |**RSE .. 03 - B**

Therefore the semiconductors can only be damaged by short-circuit currents during ramp-up and ramp-down function. A 3-phase induction motor with correctly installed and adjusted overload protection does not short totally between lines or directly to earth as some other types of loads, e.g. heater bands. In a failing motor there will always be some part of a winding to limit the fault current. If the motor is installed in an environment where the supply to the motor cannot be damaged, the short circuit protection can be considered to be acceptable if the controller is protected by a 3- pole thermal-magnetic overload relay (see table below). If the risk of short circuit of the motor cable, the controller or the load exists, then the controller must be protected by ultrafast fuses, e.g. for a 3 A type: Ferraz 6.9 gRB 10-10, for an 12 A type: Ferraz 6.9 gRB 10-25.
