wire size).
Site Requirements
The installation site must adhere to the applicable starter NEMA/CEMA rating. For optimal performance, the installation site must meet
the appropriate environmental and altitude requirements.
3.2.2EMC Installation Guidelines
GeneralIn order to help our customers comply with European electromagnetic compatibility standards, Benshaw Inc. has
developed the following guidelines.
3 - INSTALLATION
Installation Considerations
AttentionThis product has been designed for Class A equipment. Use of the product in domestic environments may cause radio
EnclosureInstall the product in a grounded metal enclosure.
GroundingConnect a grounding conductor to the screw or terminal provided as standard on each controller. Refer to layout/power
WiringRefer to Wiring Practices on page 21.
FilteringTo comply with Conducted Emission Limits (CE requirement), a high voltage (1000V or greater) 0.1 uF capacitor
3.2.3R-Rated Motor Starter Fuses
R-rated fuses are current-limiting, high interrupting rating fuses intended for the short-circuit protection of medium voltage motors and
motor controllers. R-rated fuses are back up fuses that have a minimum interrupting rating, and must be coordinated with overload
relays in combination motor starters.
3.2.4Use of Electro-Mechanical Brakes
If an electro-mechanical brake is used with the starter, it must be powered from the line side of the starter to ensure full voltage is applied
to the brake during a start so it will properly release. A programmable relay can be configured as a run relay and then used to pull-in a
contactor to power the brake whenever the starter is providing power to the motor.
3.2.5Reversing Contactor
If the application requires a reversing contactor, it should be connected on the output side (load) of the soft starter. The contactor must
be closed before starting the soft starter. The soft starter must be off before switching the direction of the reversing contactor. The
reversing contactor must never be switched while the soft starter is operating.

3.2.6Use of Power Factor Capacitors
Power factor correction capacitors and surge capacitors CAN NOT be connected between the starter and the motor. These devices can
damage the SCRs during ramping. These devices appear like a short circuit to the SCR when it turns on, which causes a di/dt level
greater than the SCR can handle. If used, power factor correction capacitors or surge capacitors must be connected ahead of the starter
and sequenced into the power circuit after the start is completed. A programmable relay can be configured as an up-to-speed (UTS) relay
and then used to pull-in a contactor to connect the capacitors after the motor has reached full speed.
Figure 4: Separate Power Factor Correction Disconnect
z NOTE: If the motor manufacturer supplies surge capacitors they must be removed before starting.
Figure 5: Integral Power Factor Correction Disconnect

3.3Mounting Considerations
3.3.1Bypassed Starters
Provisions should be made to ensure that the temperature inside the enclosure never rises above 50°C. If the temperature inside the
enclosure is too high, the starter can be damaged or the operational life can be reduced.
3.4Wiring Considerations
3.4.1Wiring Practices
When making power and control signal connections, the following should be observed:
Never connect input AC power to the motor output terminals T1/U, T2/V, or T3/W.
•
Power wiring to the motor must have the maximum possible separation from all other wiring. Do not run control wiring in the same
•
conduit; this separation reduces the possibility of coupling electrical noise between circuits. Minimum spacing between metallic
conduits containing different wire groups should be three inches (8cm).
Minimum spacing between different wiring groups in the same tray should be six inches.
•
Wire runs outside an enclosure should be run in metallic conduit or have shielding/armor with equivalent attenuation.
•
Whenever power and control wiring cross it should be at a 90 degree angle.
•
Different wire groups should be run in separate conduits.
•
With a reversing application, the starter must be installed in front of the reversing contactors.
•
z NOTE: Local electrical codes must be adhered to for all wiring practices.
3 - INSTALLATION
Mounting Considerations
Wiring Considerations
3.4.2Considerations for Control and Power Wiring
Control wiring refers to wires connected to the control terminal strip that normally carry 24V to 115V and Power wiring refers to wires
connected to the line and load terminals that normally carries 2200VAC to 7200VAC respectively. Select power wiring as follows:
Use only UL or CSA recognized wire.
•
Grounding must be in accordance with NEC, CEC or local codes. If multiple starters are installed near each other, each must be
•
connected to ground. Take care to not form a ground loop. The grounds should be connected in a STAR configuration.
3.4.3Considerations for Signal Wiring
Signal wiring refers to the wires connected to the control terminal strip that are low voltage signals, below 15V.
•
Shielded wire is recommended to prevent electrical noise interference from causing improper operation or nuisance tripping.
•
Signal wire rating should carry as high of a voltage rating as possible, normally at least 300V.
•
Routing of signal wire is important to keep as far away from control and power wiring as possible.
3.4.4Meggering a Motor
If the motor needs to be meggered, remove the motor leads from the starter before conducting the test. Failure to comply may damage the
SCRs and WILL damage the control board, which WILL NOT be replaced under warranty.
3.4.5High Pot Testing
If the starter needs to be high pot tested, perform a DC high pot test. The maximum high pot voltage must not exceed 2.0 times rated
RMS voltage + 2000VAC (High pot to 75% of factory). Failure to comply WILL damage the control board, which WILL NOT be
replaced under warranty. An example to find the maximum high pot voltage is (2.0 * rated RMS voltage + 2000) * 0.75.

3.6Power Wiring
Input Line Requirements
The input line source needs to be an adequate source to start the motor, generally 2 times the rating of the motor FLA. (This may not
apply in some cases such as being connected to a generator).
3.6.1Recommended Wire Gauges
The wire gauge selection is based on the FLA of the motor. Refer to NEC table 310-16 or CEC Part 1, Table 2 or local code
requirements for selecting the correct wire sizing. Ensure appropriate wire derating for temperature is applied. If more than three current
carrying conductors are in one conduit, ensure NEC table 310.15(B)(2) or CEC Part 1 Table 5C is adhered to. In some areas local codes
may take precedence over the NEC. Refer to your local requirements.
3.6.2Power Wire Connections
Attach the motor cables:
Use the T1, T2 and T3 terminals. Use lugs/crimps or terminals (lugs and crimps are to be provided by the user).
•
Attach the power source cables:
Use the L1, L2 and L3 terminals. Use lugs/crimps or terminals (lugs and crimps are to be provided by the user).
•
3.6.3Motor Lead Length
The standard starter can operate a motor with a maximum of 600 feet of properly sized cable between the “T” leads of the starter and that
of the motor. For wire runs greater than 600 feet contact Benshaw Inc. for application assistance. If shielded cable is used, consult
factory for recommended length.

3.7.1CT Mounting
If the CTs are shipped loose they need to be mounted on the power wiring. Thread the power wire through the CT and supplied sleeving,
ensuring the polarity mark is towards the line side. (The polarity marks may be a white or yellow dot, an “X” on the side of the CT, or the
white wire.) Each phase has its own CT. The CT must then be attached to the power wiring using two tie-wraps.

3.7.2CT Polarity
The CT has a polarity that must be correct for the starter to correctly measure Watts, kW Hours, Power Factor, and for the Power and
TruTorque motor control functions to operate properly.
Each CT has a dot on one side of the flat surfaces. This dot, normally white in color, must be facing in the direction of the line.
CT1 must be on Line L1, CT2 must be on Line L2, CT3 must be on Line L3.
3.7.3Zero Sequence Ground Fault Current Transformer
The Zero Sequence Ground Fault CT can be installed over the three phase conductors for sensitive ground current detection or for use
with high resistance grounded systems.
Figure 9: BICT 2000/1-6 Mechanical Dimensions

3 - INSTALLATION
The correct installation of the current transformer on the motor leads is important. The shield ground wire should also be passed through
the CT window if the motor conductors use shielded cable. Otherwise, capacitive coupling of the phase current into the cable shield may
be measured as ground fault current. See Figure 10 below for proper installation.
z NOTE: Power cable must be covered with voltage rated sleeving/tubing extending a minimum of 3" past both sides of the CT. See
Figure 8 for sleeve installation.

Introduction
5.1Introduction
The MVRMX3incorporates a number of parameters that allow you to configure the starter to meet the special requirements of your
particular application.
The parameters are divided into groups of related functionality, and within the groups the parameters are identified by a short, descriptive
name. They are numbered by the group name followed by an index within the group.
This chapter lists all of the parameters and their possible values.
5.2LCD Display Parameters
The parameters are subdivided into six groups. The groups are QST (Quick Start), CFN (Control Functions), PFN (Protection
Functions), I/O (Input/Output Functions), RTD (Resistance Temperature Device), FUN (Function), FL1(Fault Log) and E01 (Event
Recorder).
The Quick Start Group provides a collection of the parameters that are most commonly changed when commissioning a starter. Many of
the parameters in the Quick Start group are duplicates of the same parameters in other groups.
The following shows the menu structure for the LCD display as well as the text that is displayed for the parameters on the display.
If the LCD is not connected, most parameters shown on the LED display will turn on when LCD is unplugged.

should be set to 1.00.
z NOTE: The NEC (National Electrical Code) does not allow the service factor to be set above 1.40. Check
with other local electrical codes for their requirements.
The National Electrical Code, article 430 Part C, allows for different overload multiplier factors depending on
the motor and operating conditions. NEC section 430-32 outlines the allowable service factor for different
motors.

DescriptionThe Motor Running Overload Class parameter sets the class of the electronic overload for starting and
running if the Indep S/R OL (PFN 28) parameter is set to "Off". If separate starting versus running overload
classes are desired, set the Indep S/R OL (PFN 28) parameter to "On".
The starter stores the thermal overload value as a percentage value between 0 and 100%, with 0% representing
a “cold” overload and 100% representing a tripped overload.
When the parameter is set to "Off", the electronic overload is disabled in all states, starting and running. A
separate motor overload protection device must be supplied.
z NOTE: Care must be taken not to damage the motor when turning the running overload class off or setting
a high value.
z NOTE: Consult motor manufacturer data to determine the correct motor overload settings.

parameter sets the current that is initially supplied to the motor when a start is commanded. The initial current
should be set to the level that allows the motor to begin rotating within a couple of seconds of receiving a start
command.
To adjust the initial current setting, give the starter a run command. Observe the motor to see how long it
takes before it begins rotating and then stop the unit. For every second that the motor doesn’t rotate, increase
the initial current by 20%. Typical loads require an initial current in the range of 50% to 175%.
If the motor does not rotate within a few seconds after a start command, the initial current should be increased.
If the motor accelerates too quickly after a start command, the initial current should be decreased.

The motor is considered up-to-speed once the current stabilizes below 175 percent of the FLA value and the
ramp time expires.
z NOTE: During normal acceleration ramps, the up-to-speed timer has to be greater than the sum of the
highest ramp time in use and the kick time. The up-to-speed timer does not automatically change to be greater
than the ramp time. If a ramp time greater than the up-to-speed timer is set, the starter will declare an
up-to-speed fault every time a start is attempted.
z NOTE: When the Start Mode (CFN 01) parameter is set to "Voltage Ramp", the UTS timer acts as an
acceleration kick. When the UTS timer expires, full voltage is applied to the motor. This feature can be used
to reduce motor oscillations if they occur near the end of an open loop voltage ramp start.
z NOTE: When the Starter Type (FUN 07) parameter is set to "Wye-Delta", the UTS timer is used as the
transition timer. When the UTS timer expires, the transition from Wye starting mode to Delta running mode
takes place if it has not already occurred.

The closed loop current control acceleration ramp is ideal for starting most general-purpose motor
applications. Ex: crushers, ball mills, reciprocating compressors, saws, centrifuges, and most other
applications.
The closed loop trutorque control acceleration ramp is suitable for applications that require a minimum of
torque transients during starting or for consistently loaded applications that require a reduction of torque
surges during starting. Ex: centrifugal pumps, fans, and belt driven equipment.
The closed loop power control acceleration ramp is ideal for starting applications using a generator or other
limited capacity source.
In addition to the basic motor and starter setup variables, the following needs to be done to use the tachometer
feedback control ramp:
•
Connect a tachometer with appropriate DC output voltage and correct polarity to the MX3power card
input (TB5-2(+input), TB5-3(-input)).
•

Squared – The squared profile increases the control reference (voltage, current, torque, power, speed) in a
squared manner. A squared acceleration profile can be useful when using TruTorque control on a load with a
squared torque characteristic (such as pumps, and fans). A squared torque profile can provide a more linear
speed profile during acceleration and deceleration.
S–Curve – The S-curve profile slowly increases the control reference’s rate of change at the beginning of the
ramp profile and an slowly decreases the rate of change of the reference at the end of the ramp profile. This
profile can be useful when using closed loop tach control to smooth the starting and ending of the acceleration
profile. It can also be useful with other types of control methods that require extra smooth starts.

DescriptionThe Kick Level 1 parameter sets the current level that precedes any ramp when a start is first commanded.
See AlsoStart Mode on (CFN 01) on page 63.
The kick current is only useful on motor loads that are hard to get rotating but then are much easier to move
once they are rotating. An example of a load that is hard to get rotating is a ball mill. The ball mill requires a
high torque to get it to rotate the first quarter turn (90°). Once the ball mill is past 90°of rotation, the material
inside begins tumbling and it is easier to turn.
The kick level is usually set to a low value and then the kick time is adjusted to get the motor rotating. If the
kick time is set to more than 2.0 seconds without the motor rotating, increase the kick current by 100% and
re-adjust the kick time.

parameter sets the initial or starting voltage level when transferring from running to deceleration. The
deceleration beginning level is not a precise percentage of actual line voltage, but defines a point on the
S-curve deceleration profile.
A typical voltage decel begin level setting is between 30% and 40%. If the motor initially surges (oscillates)
when a stop is commanded, decrease this parameter value. If there is a sudden drop in motor speed when a
stop is commanded, increase this parameter value.

DescriptionWhen the Stop Mode (CFN 15) is set to "DC brake", the DC Brake Level parameter sets the level of DC

current applied to the motor during braking. The desired brake level is determined by the combination of the
system inertia, system friction, and the desired braking time. If the motor is braking too fast the level should
be reduced. If the motor is not braking fast enough the level should be increased. Refer to Nema MG1, Parts
12 and 20 for maximum load inertias. A PTC Thermistor or RTD MUST be installed to protect the motor.
DC Brake Function Programming Steps:
1. The DC Brake function may be enabled by setting the Stop Mode (CFN 15) parameter to "DC Brake".
2. Once this function is enabled, a relay output configuration (I/O 10 - 15) must be used to control the DC
brake contactor or 7th SCR gate drive card during braking. It is recommended to use Relay R3 - (I/O12)
because it is a higher rated relay.
z NOTE: Standard duty braking
- For load inertias less than 6 x motor inertia
Heavy duty braking
- For NEMA MG1 parts 12 and 20 maximum load inertias
z NOTE: When DC injection braking is utilized, discretion must be used when setting up the DC Brake
Level. Motor heating during DC braking is similar to motor heating during starting. Even though the Motor
OL is active (if not set to "Off") during DC injection braking, excessive motor heating could still result if the
load inertia is large or the brake level is set too high. Caution must be used to assure that the motor has the
thermal capacity to handle braking the desired load in the desired period of time without excessive heating.
z NOTE: Consult motor manufacturer for high inertia applications.

z NOTE: Not to be used as an emergency stop. When motor braking is required even during a power outage
an electromechanical brake must be used.

magnetic field and motor counter EMF to decay before applying the DC braking current. If a large surge of
current is detected when DC braking is first engaged increase the delay time. If the delay before the braking
action begins is too long then decrease the delay time. In general, low horsepower motors can utilize shorter

DescriptionThe Phase Detect Delay parameter sets the delay time on Fault #27: "Phase Loss." This fault detects a loss of
proper phase timing even when the phasing remains valid; example: loss of line when the motor back
generates a voltage. This allows a much faster detection than low line or no current at run faults.
Over Frequency Trip LevelPFN 14

DescriptionThe Over Frequency Trip Level parameter sets the highest line frequency that the starter will operate on.
When operating on line power, the default setting will usually suffice. If the application is speed sensitive, or
the line power is suspect, the Over Frequency Trip Level parameter can be set to the highest acceptable
frequency. When operating on generator power, the Over Frequency Trip Level parameter should be set to
the highest acceptable frequency. This will ensure that a generator problem will not cause unnecessarily large
fluctuations in the speed of the motor.
The frequency must be above the over frequency trip level setting for the Frequency Trip Time (PFN 16)
parameter before the starter will recognize a high frequency condition. Once a high frequency condition
exists, the starter will shut down and display a Fault #13, "High Freq Trip."

DescriptionIf “Off”
When this parameter is “Off” the overload defined by the Motor Running Overload Class parameter (QST 03)
is active in all states.
If “On”
When this parameter is “On”, the starting and running overloads are separate with each having their own
settings. The starting overload class is used during motor acceleration and acceleration kick. The running
overload class is used during all other modes of operation.
If both the running overload and the starting overload classes are set to "Off", then the existing accumulated
motor OL% is erased and no motor overload is calculated in any state.
If the starting overload class is set to "Off" and the running overload class is set to "On", then the I
overload does NOT accumulate during acceleration kick and acceleration ramping states. However, the
existing accumulated OL% remains during starting and the hot/cold motor compensation is still active. The
OL% is capped at 99% during starting.
Although there is really no reason to do so, the starting overload class could be set to "On" and the running
overload class set to "Off".
