2 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.
Read and understand the entire manual before installing operating, or maintaining the MVS. Follow all
applicable local and national codes.
Apply appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safe electrical work practices.
Use only electrically insulated tools and clothing and insulated protective gear when working around
electrical equipment.
Disconnect all power and ensure that the MVS is de-energised before servicing the equipment.
Do not rely on visual indications such as switch position or fuse removal for determining a de-energised
condition. Always assume that a terminal is energised until it is checked with a properly rated meter to
ensure that a terminal is de-energised and grounded.
Isolate the MVS completely from the power supply before attempting any work on the MVS or motor.
Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm power is off.
Before servicing the MVS, ensure that all static charge has been discharged by grounding it with an
appropriate grounding device.
Metal swarf in the cabinet can cause equipment failure.
Do not apply voltage to the control input terminals. These are active 24 VDC inputs and must be
controlled with potential free contacts.
Contacts or switches operating the control inputs must be suitable for low voltage, low current switching
(ie gold flash or similar).
Cables to the control inputs must be segregated from mains voltage and motor cabling.
Some electronic contactor coils are not suitable for direct switching with PCB mount relays. Consult the
contactor manufacturer/supplier to confirm suitability.
W
The MVS contains dangerous voltages when connected to mains voltage. Only a qualified electrician should
carry out the electrical installation. Improper installation of the motor or the MVS may cause equipment
failure, serious injury or death. Follow this manual and local electrical safety codes.
The MVS is not short circuit proof. After severe overload or short circuit, the operation of the MVS should
be fully tested by an authorised service agent.
It is the responsibility of the user or person installing the MVS to provide proper grounding and branch circuit
protection according to local electrical safety codes.
Medium voltage equipment has a potential risk of arc flash. When insulation or isolation between electrified
conductors is breached or can no longer withstand the applied voltage, a short circuit occurs through the air.
This may cause a phase-to-ground and/or a phase-to-phase fault.
Although unlikely, arc fault can be caused by:
Contamination in the insulation caused by deterioration over time
Inadequate insulation system on cable terminals
Overvoltage
Incorrect protection coordination settings
Overheating of the contact area, due to incorrect tightening of connections
Introduction of foreign matter, including swarf, vermin, tools or maintenance equipment left in the
starter

CAUTION STATEMENTS
STORAGE
S
The MVS must be stored in its original packaging in a clean and dry environment. The MVS should be
unpacked only after the equipment room is ready for installation. Particular care should be taken to avoid
exposure of the electronics to cement and/or concrete dust.

3.1 Overview
The MVS provides compact and robust soft start solutions for control of medium voltage motors. MVS soft
starters provide a complete range of motor and system protection features and have been designed for reliable
performance in the most demanding installation situations.
The two primary components of a MVS soft starter are:
a power assembly
a controller module
The power assembly and controller module are supplied as a pair and share the same serial number. Care should
be taken during installation to ensure that the correct controller and power assembly are used together.

NOTE
NOTE
MVS soft starters offer several special functions to ensure ease of use and to provide optimal motor control in all
environments and applications.
Customisable Protection
The MVS offers comprehensive protection to ensure safe operation of the motor and soft starter. The protection
characteristics can be customised extensively to match the exact requirements of the installation.

16 Protection Action
Each protection can be set to trip the starter, activate a warning flag, or be ignored. All protection activations are
recorded in the event log, regardless of the protection class setting.
write to log). The default response is trip.
MVS soft starters have built-in trip points to ensure operation remains within the soft starter's
capability. These internal trips cannot be overridden. Certain faults within the MVS will also prevent
the soft starter from operating. Refer to
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
on page 45 to set the conditions in which each protection mechanism will activate.

Troubleshooting
on page 72 for details.
Advanced Thermal Modelling
Intelligent thermal modelling allows the soft starter to predict whether the motor can successfully complete a start.
The MVS uses information from previous starts to calculate the motor's available thermal capacity, and will only
permit a start which is predicted to succeed.
This feature can be enabled or disabled using parameter
Comprehensive Event and Trip Logging
The MVS has a 99-place event log to record information on soft starter operation. A separate trip log stores
detailed information about the last eight trips.
Informative Feedback Screens
A digital display screen allows the MVS to display important information clearly. Comprehensive metering
information, details of starter status and last start performance allow easy monitoring of the starter's performance at
all times.
Dual Parameter Set
The MVS can be programmed with two separate sets of operating parameters. This allows the soft starter to
control the motor in two different starting and stopping configurations.
The secondary motor settings (parameter groups 9 and 10) are ideal for conventional (squirrel-cage) motors which
may start in two different conditions (such as loaded and unloaded conveyors).
MVS soft starters are not suitable for controlling two separate motors. The secondary parameter set should
only be used for a secondary configuration of the primary motor.
4N Motor Temperature Check
.
The MVS will use the secondary motor settings to control a start when instructed via a programmable input (refer
to parameters 6A and 6F,
Fibre Optics
The MVS uses two-line fibre optic connections between the low voltage control module and the high voltage
power assembly for electrical isolation. This fibre optic link simplifies installation of chassis mount MVS starters into
custom panels.

RECEIVING AND STORAGE
NOTE
NOTE
5 Receiving and Storage
All AuCom panels are individually packed and securely braced for shipment. Depending on the size and weight, it
may be necessary to ship the equipment in several sections to facilitate handling.
Panels may include relatively delicate equipment. Handle all sections with care when unloading. Some electrical
components may be shipped separately and then installed on-site. The shipping inventory should account for all
individual components.
5.1 Receiving
Inspect equipment as soon as possible for any damage that may have occurred during transit. Before accepting
delivery, examine packaging for any signs of damage. A damaged package may indicate that the panel and internal
components may also be damaged.
Check that the shipping manifest accounts for all equipment delivered. Any missing or damaged equipment should
be noted on the freight bill and the carrier notified immediately. A record of the missing or damaged equipment
should also be sent to AuCom.
Avoid using heavy or sharp-edged tools while unpacking, as these may damage the equipment. Use nail
pliers to separate all four sides of the wooden packaging box.
5.2 Storage
If immediate installation is not possible, the equipment should be stored in its original packaging in a clean and dry
area indoors. Always store panels upright on their wooden pallets to keep them off the floor and allow air to pass
under it freely.
Equipment can be stored for a maximum of 12 months from the date of packaging as the quality of the
packaging material degrades over time.
The following storage conditions should be met (IEC 60721-3-1, classification 1K3):
Temperature -5 °C ~ 40 °C
Relative humidity 50 ~ 95%
Rate of change of temperature 0.5 °C/min
The following general precautions should be followed when storing equipment indoors:
Do not unpack the panel or other components until they are ready for installation.
If electrical components such as circuit breakers are to be stored for more than three months in humid
conditions, space heaters should be used in the storage area to limit condensation. Switchgear panels with
in-built anti-condensation heaters may be powered from an external supply during storage.
Rats and other vermin may cause considerable damage and periodic inspection is necessary to minimise
the danger they pose.
Ensure the floor of the storage area is smooth and level to prevent mechanical strain to the structure and
components.

6 Installation
Site installation of panels should only be carried out by specially trained and skilled personnel. The location must be
adequately prepared with wall openings, ventilation ducts and cabling connections to the power supply.

6.2 Foundation Requirements
The maximum tolerance for switchroom floor is ± 2 mm per metre (with a maximum of ± 5 mm over
the entire panel line-up). Failure to comply with these recommendations may impair the
electro-mechanical functionality of some components and the structural integrity of the entire panel
system.
The base of the panels is suitable for mounting directly to the switchroom floor. It is recommended that buried steel
channels are installed in a level concrete floor to support the equipment. The surfaces of the buried steel channels
should be level with the finished floor and aligned with each other prior to final anchoring. The panel’s base should
be evenly supported by the concrete floor. If the panel is raised above the floor level by the mounting channels, the
entire base frame must be supported at the same level. If the panel is part of a line-up, all channels must be level
and aligned with each other.
The figure below illustrates typical methods for anchoring panels to buried steel channels.

NOTE
Switchgear panels may be connected together to form a panel line-up. Assembling the panel line-up includes the
following operations:
Aligning the panels
Fastening the panels together
Connecting the earth bus
Lifting and Moving
Panels can be moved in a number of ways. However, care should be taken to protect the panel sections or
enclosed electrical components from damage during moving. Provision has been made along the base of the panel
to fit lifting rods. Lifting cables can then be fitted for lifting with a crane.
The recommended method of moving the panel is using a crane. If height constraints prevent the use of
a crane, a forklift or jack may be used before removal of the wooden pallet.
INSTALLATION

1. Locate the four lifting holes in the base frame of the panel.
2. Pass lifting rods through the lifting holes from one side of the panel to the other. Use lifting rods which are
approximately 30mm in diameter to ensure that rods are of sufficient tensile strength to bear the weight of the
panel.
3. Loop lifting cables around the ends of the lifting rods on both sides of the panel.
4. Fit spreader bars to the lifting cables at the top of the panel. The lifting cables must have spreaders from
front-to-rear and side-to-side to prevent twisting the lifting cables during transportation.
Before moving the panel:
60°
Ensure that the crane is tall enough that the angle formed between the
arms of the sling is no more than 60° when viewed from the front or rear
of the panel.
Always use lifting equipment that is rated for the prescribed load. Only
use a crane of sufficient lifting capacity to bear the weight of the
equipment to be lifted.
Identify the centre of gravity, physical dimensions, weight etc.
Plan the path along which the switchgear will be moved, ensuring that it is
free from obstructions.
If moving more than one unit at a time, disconnect bus connections
between panels to prevent damage to the busbars.
Ensure that adequate precautions have been taken to protect personnel
before moving the panel.
Only use AuCom recommended bolts and metal connectors. Never
replace or modify a manufactured lifting component.

Aligning the panels
Switchgear sections may be shipped individually to facilitate loading and transportation. At the installation site, the
shipping sections must be securely bolted together to form the switchgear line-up. Align the shipping sections side
by side on the foundation as follows:
Remove all packaging material from the first switchgear section to be installed, except the wooden pallet
on which each panel is mounted. The wooden pallet protects the switchgear and reduces risk of damage
during moving.
Move the panel to the desired location (refer to
bolts and discard the wooden pallet.
Line up the bolt holes in the base frame of the switchgear with the holes in the foundation steel channels
(refer to
Once the individual panels have been placed in position, use a level or plumb line to make sure the panel
line-up is level both across its depth and along its length. Draw an installation baseline the entire length of
the complete switchgear.
Install the other switchgear sections following the above steps, with reference to the installation base line.
Fastening the panels together
Once the sections of the switchgear line-up have been aligned exactly, fasten adjacent panels together securely.
Use M6x10 screws to fasten panels together using the joining brackets supplied.

24R fuse for 6.6 kV: A072B1DARO-24R or JCR-B-24R
Protection fuses are only required when the switching device used is a contactor.
Power Factor Correction
Do not connect power factor correction capacitors to the output of MVS soft starters. If static power
factor correction is employed, it must be connected to the supply side of the soft starter.
Power factor correction capacitors should be selected based on the motor data and the required final power factor.
If power factor correction capacitors are being used, select a contactor according to the required kVAr. The
contactor must be connected on the supply side of the soft starter. The power factor correction capacitor
contactor coil is associated with output terminals 33, 34 of the soft starter's Interface PCB.
Line Inductors
Output line inductors may be required if the cable run between the soft starter and the motor is greater than 200
metres. Line inductors are typically installed in a shielded caged enclosure at the soft starter end of the motor cable.
Factors which determine the requirement of line inductors are; the soft starter model, system operating voltage,
output cable length and cable type.
Contact your local supplier for advice when using motor output cables exceeding 200 metres. Cable data will be
required, including the capacitance per km of the cable to be used.
Transient/ Overvoltage Protection
Overvoltage protection should be installed if there is a risk of high voltage transients at the installation. Contact your
local supplier for details.
Control Supply Transformer (PT/VT)
The MVS requires a low voltage control supply. If low voltage is not available, a transformer is required. Use a
transformer with primary voltage matching the MV mains voltage, and secondary voltage to suit the MVS starter.
Use a single phase 550 VA transformer with protection fuses on both the primary and secondary sides.

4 Protection Settings
These parameters determine when the soft starter's protection mechanisms will activate. The activation point for
each protection mechanism can be set to suit the installation.
The soft starter responds to protection events by tripping, warning, or writing the event to the event log. The
response is determined by the Protection Action settings. The default response is a trip.
C
The protection settings are vital for safe operation of the soft starter and motor. Defeating the
protection may compromise the installation and should only be done in the case of emergency.

The MVS has two instantaneous trip functions, stage 1 and 2. These protection functions are configured to be
complementary.
Stage 1 must be configured to protect the motor against a locked rotor (shearpin) situation during run mode.
Stage 1 should trigger at lower current/higher time values than Stage 2.
Stage 2 must be configured to protect the main switching device. When Stage 2 triggers, the starter opens the
main switching device.
If the main switching element is a contactor (protected by a fuse), then this function must be coordinated with the
fuse to ensure that the contactor does NOT open until the fuse ruptures.
If the main switching element is a breaker, then the delay must be minimised to provide the best possible protection
to the SCR.

6 Inputs
The MVS has two programmable inputs, which allow remote control of the soft starter.
Motor Set Select The MVS can be configured with two separate sets of
motor data.
To use the secondary motor data, parameter 6A must be
set to 'Motor Set Select' and C53, C54 must be closed
when a start command is given. The MVS checks which
motor data to use at a start, and will use that motor data
for the entire start/stop cycle.
Input Trip (N/O) (default) Input A can be used to trip the soft starter. When
parameter 6A is set to Input Trip (N/O), a closed circuit
across C53, C54 trips the soft starter.
(Refer to parameters 6C, 6D, 6E)
Input Trip (N/C) When parameter 6A is set to Input Trip (N/C), an open
circuit across C53, C54 trips the soft starter.
(Refer to parameters 6C, 6D, 6E)
Local/Remote Select Input A can be used to select between local and remote
control, instead of using the L
controller. When the input is open, the starter is in local
mode and can be controlled via the controller. When the
input is closed, the starter is in remote mode. The
and L
starter will ignore any Local/Remote select command from
the serial communications network.
To use Input A to select between local and remote
control, parameter 6Q must be set to 'LCL/RMT Anytime'
or 'LCL/RMT When Off'.
Emergency Run In emergency run the soft starter continues to run until
stopped, ignoring all trips and warnings (refer to parameter
15C for details).
Closing the circuit across C53, C54 activates emergency
run.
Opening the circuit ends emergency run and the MVS
stops the motor.

9 Motor Data-2
The MVS can support two different starting and stopping motor data sets.
To select the secondary motor data set, a programmable input must be configured to parameter set selection
(parameters 6A and 6F) and the input must be active when the soft starter receives a start signal.
You can only choose which motor data set to use while the soft starter is stopped.

10.6 Low Voltage Test Mode
The MVS can be connected to a low voltage motor ( 500 VAC) for testing. This allows the user to thoroughly
test the soft starter and its associated power and control circuits. The low voltage test mode provides a means of
testing the soft starter's configuration without requiring a full medium voltage test facility.
For models V06 and higher, one non-conduction resistor assembly must be connected to each phase arm (three
assemblies are supplied with the soft starter). The non-conduction resistor assembly is not required for models
V02 ~ V04.
During the low voltage test, the soft starter's control input, relay output and protection settings can be tested. Low
voltage mode is not suitable for testing soft starting or soft stopping performance.

After low voltage mode testing, ensure that the non-conduction resistor assembly is removed from each
phase arm before connecting the soft starter to a medium voltage motor. If the non-conduction resistor
assemblies remain on the phase arms, the soft starter may suffer severe damage.
To operate the MVS in low voltage test mode:
2. Isolate the soft starter from the motor and the mains supply.
3. Connect one non-conduction resistor assembly to each phase arm.
4. Connect T1, T2, T3 of the soft starter to a three phase motor with full load current of 5 ~ 20 A. Connect L1,
L2, L3 of the soft starter to three phase mains supply with voltage less than 500 VAC (frequency 50 Hz or
60 Hz).
5. Set parameter
6. Switch on control and mains supply, and use the MVS to start the motor. The start command can be sent
from the controller or via the remote input. Monitor the soft starter's display and verify the line current and
voltage readings.
7. Stop and restart the motor several times to confirm correct and consistent operation.
8. When testing is complete, isolate the soft starter from the mains supply. Disconnect the soft starter from the
motor and then remove control voltage. Remove the non-conduction resistor assembly from each phase arm.

Select 'Changeover Contactor'
Parameter 7B
Set this to the maximum time (5m:00s).
Parameter 12A
Select 'Dual Ramp' (for slip-ring induction motor control)
Parameter 12C
Default setting is 150 milliseconds. Set this to a value just greater than the changeover contactor
(K3) pole closing time.
Parameter 12D
Default setting is 50%. Set this parameter to a value which is high enough to cause the motor to
instantly accelerate once the rotor resistance (R1) has been bridged out and low enough to avoid a
motor current pulse.
2. Start the motor under normal load conditions and record the time it takes to reach a constant speed with
external rotor resistance (R1) in the circuit. Stop the motor soon after a constant speed has been reached.
Change parameter 7B to the recorded time value.
3. Start the motor under normal load conditions and monitor the motor speed behaviour and motor current
when the changeover contactor (K3) switches in to short-out the rotor resistance (R1)
If the motor does not start to accelerate immediately after changeover, increase the setting of parameter 12D.
If there is a pulse in motor current immediately after changeover, reduce the setting of parameter 12D.

Motor, System and Soft Starter Protection Mechanisms
The MVS incorporates extensive protection features to ensure safe operation of the motor, system and soft starter.
Most protection features can be customised to suit the installation. Use parameter group 4 Protection Settings to
control the situation where the protections will activate and parameter group 16 Protection Action to select the
soft starter's response. The default response is to trip the soft starter.
Protection Coordination
Check protection settings on the supply side of the starter to ensure correct coordination with the parameters of
the soft starter. .
When using fuse and main contactors, set the upstream circuit breaker protection parameters according to the
ratings for fuse and contactor. The contactor must not open if the current is above its maximum breaking current
value. The fuse must act first or the upstream breakers instantaneous trip level must be less than the contactor's
maximum breaking current level.
If using circuit breakers only, set the soft starter's maximum instantaneous trip time < 150 ms. Always use a suitable
external protection relay with a circuit breaker to ensure instantaneous overcurrent trip functionality.
Voltage must not be continuously maintained on the phase arms while the motor is off. Short circuit protective
equipment must be installed in all cases.
Motor Overload Protection
The MVS offers thermal model motor overload protection which monitors the performance of the motor and
calculates its temperature in all states. This protection is based on the motor information programmed in
parameter groups 1 and 9, and the thermal model adjusts itself according to the motor's recent operating history
(including temperature rise from previous operation).

13 Troubleshooting
The MVS provides extensive information to help the operator diagnose and remedy any operating difficulties.
In addition to the motor and load protection features already described, the MVS reports in detail on the starter's
own state. Any internal failure will cause the soft starter to trip, and full details will be recorded in the Trip Log and
Event Log.
13.1 Protection Responses
When a protection condition is detected, the MVS will write this to the event log and may also trip or issue a
warning. The soft starter's response depends on the Protection Action setting (parameter group 16).
Some protection responses cannot be adjusted by the user. These trips are usually caused by external events (such
as phase loss) or by a fault within the soft starter. These trips do not have associated parameters and cannot be set
to Warn or Log.
If the MVS trips you will need to identify and clear the condition that triggered the trip, then reset the soft starter
before restarting. To reset the starter, press the
input.
If the MVS has issued a warning, the soft starter will reset itself once the cause of the warning has been resolved.
13.2 Trip Messages
This table lists soft starter's protection mechanisms and the probable cause of the trip. Some of these can be
adjusted using parameter group 4 Protection Settings and parameter group 16 Protection Action, other settings are
built-in system protections and cannot be set or adjusted.
