2. Motor 1 Settings

2.10 Motor Overload Lockout Calculation

If this parameter is set to automatic, the overload lockout is calculated using the last four starts instead of from the parameter.

It will automatically calculate the overload content required to start the motor. It will lockout the starter if there is not enough overload content available. The release value calculated is based on the average overload content used for the past four (4) successful motor starts. A factor of 1.25 is applied as an application margin.

For example:

The overload content used for the past 4 starts were 30%, 29%, 30%, 27%.

step 1 (30+29+30+27) / 4 = 29%

step 2 29% * 1.25 = 36%.

step 3 100% - 36% = 64% Therefore 64% is the calculated overload lockout.

Options:

Automatic

 
Off (default)

Adaptive

This function is not available in this release.

4.1.2 Initial Level

Sets the initial start level for voltage ramp, power ramp and TruTorque ramp as a percentage of motor full load current. Set so that the motor begins to accelerate immediately after a start is initiated.

If the motor starts too abruptly (that is, with a jolt), reduce the initial level. If the motor starts too slowly or does not rotate, increase the initial level by 5%.

If the motor starts rotating immediately but accelerates too quickly or too slowly, adjust Ramp time.

Range:

0–100%

25% (default)

NOTE: If the initial level is too low, the starter may trip on 'Ramp undercurrent'. Increase the initial level setting.

4.1.3 Initial Current

Sets the initial start current level for current ramp starting, as a percentage of motor full load current. Set so that the motor begins to accelerate immediately after a start is initiated.

If the motor does not begin rotating immediately, increase the initial current by 20% for every second that the motor does not rotate.

Range:

50–700%

200% (default)

4.1.4 Ramp Time

Sets the ramp time for a voltage ramp, power ramp and TruTorque or current ramp start. The starter will ramp from the initial level/initial current to the maximum level/current limit.

To make the motor accelerate faster, decrease the ramp time. To make the motor accelerate slower, increase the ramp time.

Range:

00:01–03:00 (mm:ss)

00:15 mm:ss (default)

NOTE: Setting the ramp time to a specific value does not necessarily mean that the motor takes that exact amount of time to accelerate to full speed.

  • If the application accelerates easily, the motor and load may reach full speed before the ramp time ends.

  • The motor and load may take longer than the ramp time to achieve full speed.

  • If the ramp time expires before the motor reaches full speed, the starter continues to supply the maximum level until the motor reaches full speed or the starter trips on 'Excess start time' or 'Motor overload'.

Applies to power and TruTorque starting ramps.

Range:
10–325% 105% (default)

4.1.6 Current Limit

Set so that enough current is applied for the motor to accelerate to full speed.

Range:
100–700% FLA 350% FLA (default)
NOTE:

Setting the current limit to a lower value may limit the voltage drop on the power system. It also limits the torque the motor produces, to help prevent damage to the driven load.

Setting the current limit too low will block a successful start.

4.1.7 Ramp Profile

Selects which profile the starter will use for a current ramp, voltage ramp, power ramp, or TruTorque start. See Acceleration Control for details.

00:01–03:00 (mm:ss)

00:15 mm:ss (default)

NOTE: Setting the ramp time to a specific value does not necessarily mean that the motor takes that exact amount of time to accelerate to full speed.

  • If the application accelerates easily, the motor and load may reach full speed before the ramp time ends.
