RSGD is also equipped with an overload protection (Class 10).* - **Torque control during ramp-down.** Smoother deceleration of the load. - • **Complete monitoring.** The RSGD is equipped with a Modbus/RTU communication port by 2-wire RS485 connection.** - **Guided model selection.** Easy to use selection tool to select the appropriate soft starter model depending on the application type. ## **Description** **RSGD** is an extremely compact and easy to use 3-phase soft starter for AC induction motors rated up to 100 Arms. The starting parameters can be easily set-up through 3 selector switches. The integrated motor overload protection (Class 10)* and Modbus communication** result in a higher installation flexibility. ## **Applications** RSGD soft starters are the ideal solution for 3-phase fixed speed AC induction motor applications where there is the need to reduce the starting current and/or minimise stresses on the motor during start and stop. The RSGD offers a number of integrated diagnostic functions that can replace additional components inside the electrical panel. Typical applications include: compressors, pumps and fans. ## **Main functions** - Soft starting and soft stopping of AC motors. - Integrated electronic overload protection (Class 10)*. - Serial communication (Modbus) over RS485**. - RSGD VD210, VD210C, VX210, VX210C, VX310C, VX311C models only, - ** RSGD VD210C, VX210C, VX310C, VX311C models only. **1** 14/10/2024 RSGD DS ENG Carlo Gavazzi Ltd. ## **RSGD** **==> picture [40 x 40] intentionally omitted <==** ## **References** ## **Order code** **RSGD V** Enter the code entering the corresponding option instead of . **==> picture [483 x 487] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

Ramp-up Mode of operation
• When the ramp-up knob is in position 1 or 2, the RSGD will follow a self learning current
limit algorithm.
• As soon as A1-A2 (or ST for RSGD60 models) control voltage signal is applied, the RSGD
1 or 2 seconds will start to ramp-up the motor.
• At the very first start the current limit will be 4 x FLC setting.
• In the subsequent starts, the RSGD will automatically adjust the current limit setting to
maintain the motor start time as close as possible to the ramp-up time setting.
• When the ramp-up knob is in position 5 or above, the RSGD will follow a self-learning
current ramp algorithm.
• The RSGD will start with a set of default parameters for starting torque.
• Depending on the ramp-up time setting, the RSGD will apply a current ramp algorithm to
≥ 5 seconds start the motor as close as possible to the set ramp-up time.
• During the motor start, the current will be limited to a maximum of 3.5 x FLC setting.
• In the subsequent starts, the RSGD will continue to adjust the starting parameters of initial
torque and current ramp to ensure that the motor is started as close as possible to the set
ramp-up time.
• During the ramp-up sequence, the RSGD will check if the motor is rotating.
• If the RSGD detects that the motor is in locked rotor condition as soon as control is applied
and/or the motor has not reached full speed at the set ramp-up time, it will trigger the HP
function.
• This mode of operation is indicated via a faster flashing sequence on the ramping/bypass
HP mode of operation
LED (E5).
• The maximum starting current during HP mode can reach: 4 x Ie for ramp-up setting of 1
or 2 seconds and 3.5 x Ie for ramp-up setting ≥ 5 seconds.
• The RSGD will then go in bypass state as soon as it detects that the motor reached full
speed.
Ramp-down Mode of operation
• During ramp-down, the RSGD works on a torque control algorithm for smoother stopping
of the motor.
• As soon as the control voltage signal A1-A2 (or ST for RSGD 60 models) is removed, the
1 to 30 seconds RSGD will slow down the motor gradually according to the ramp-down setting.
• The power semiconductors will be switched OFF as soon as the time (as per ramp-down
setting) has elapsed unless there is a risk of exceeding the maximum temperature on the
semiconductors. In such a case the RSGD will leave the motor to coast to stop.
• If the ramp-down knob is set to 0, the RSGD will leave the motor to coast to stop (no ramp-
0 seconds
down).

- Note 1: for the Canadian application, the control terminals A1, A2 (or A1, A2, ST for RSGD60 versions) of the RSGD devices shall be supplied by a secondary circuit where power is limited by a transformer, rectifier, voltage divider, or similar device that derives power from a primary circuit, and where the short-circuit limit between conductors of the secondary circuit or between conductors and ground is 1500VA or less. The short-circuit volt ampere limit is the product of the open circuit voltage and the short circuit ampere. - Note 2: RSGD60 soft starters require a separate 100 - 240V, 50/60Hz single phase control source. Output connections (L1, L2, L3, T1, T2, T3) are not galvanically isolated from the external supply connections (A1, A2, ST). - Note 3: For the RSGD60 versions the L1, L2, L3 voltage should be applied before or within 250ms from when the control signal ‘ST’ is applied. **12** 14/10/2024 RSGD DS ENG Carlo Gavazzi Ltd. **RSGD** **==> picture [40 x 40] intentionally omitted <==** **==> picture [484 x 195] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

Note: the overload cycle describes the switching capability of the soft starter at a surrounding temperature of 40°C as described in EN/ IEC 60947-4-2. An overload cycle AC53b:3-12:348 means that the soft starter can handle a starting current of 3x Ie for 12 seconds followed by an OFF time of 348 seconds. * For RSGD6045 models, operational current is 45 Arms @ 25°C. ## **Auxiliary relays** **==> picture [483 x 192] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

To reset alarms via the R1-R2 terminals you need to: Make sure that the alarm reset mode is set to MANUAL (MANUAL LED ON). To set the alarm reset mode to MANUAL press the Test/Reset button for 5 seconds when the RSGD is in IDLE mode. **Remote reset of alarms (R1, R2)*** When RSGD is in alarm mode, short the terminals R1, R2 for 1 second. This will clear the alarm and RSGD will go to IDLE state. Note: do not apply voltage on R1, R2 terminals as this might damage the soft starter. **28** 14/10/2024 RSGD DS ENG Carlo Gavazzi Ltd. **RSGD** ## **Short circuit protection** Type 1 protection implies that after a short circuit, the device under test will no longer be in a functioning state. The product variants listed in the table hereunder are suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 5,000* symmetrical Amperes, 400 or 600 Volts maximum when protected by fuses. Tests at 5,000 A* were performed with Class RK5 fuses, fast acting; please refer to the table below for maximum allowed ampere rating of the fuse. Use fuses only. * For RSGD 70 to RSGD 100 models 10,000 symmetrical Amperes apply. Note: For fuse size of 600A or less, Class CC, G, H, K, J, RK1 or T fuses can be used instead of RK5 fuses. ## **Time delay fuses (UL 508)** |**Item No.**|**Max. fuse size[A]**|**Current[kA]**|**Class**|**Max. voltage [VAC]**| |---|---|---|---|---| |**RSGD..12**|15|5|RK5|600| |**RSGD..16**|20|||| |**RSGD..25**|25|||| |**RSGD..32**|50|||| |**RSGD..45**|50|||| |**RSGD..55**|60|||| |**RSGD..70**|100|10||| |**RSGD..85**||||| |**RSGD..100**||||| ## **Manual motor starters** |**Item No.**|**Model No.**|**Current[kA]**|**Max. voltage [VAC]**| |---|---|---|---| |**RSGD..12**|GMS32H-17|10|400| |**RSGD..16**|GMS32H-17||| |**RSGD..25**|GMS32H-32||| |**RSGD..32**|GMS32H-32||| |**RSGD..45**|GMS63H-50||| |**RSGD..55**|GMS63H-63||| |**RSGD..70**|GMS100H-75||| |**RSGD..85**|GMS100H-100||| |**RSGD..100**|GMS100H-100||| Note: products protected with manual motor starters must be wired with a minimum length of 2.0 m (10.0 m for 12, 16 A models) of Cu wire conductor with a maximum cross-sectional area of 2.5 mm[2] for 12 Arms and 16 Arms devices, 10 mm[2] for 25, 32, 45 Arms devices, 16 mm[2] for 55 Arms devices and 50mm[2] for higher currents.
