3.4CT Ratio Scaling Switches
General InformationThe motor current signal scaling is set according to the motor size and the application
specified when the starter is ordered. To ensure accurate operation, the motor current
signal must be correctly scaled for the motor (and its application) being controlled by
the starter.
Motor current signal scaling may have to be changed if:
Motor size has been changed from the original specification.
•
Motor load has been changed from the original application.
•
Motor current signal scaling is accomplished by verifying the current transformer
ratio as supplied with the starter and then selecting the correct DIP switch setting
from the chart on the following page for the current transformer ratio. The DIP
switches are:
ON in the UP position
•
OFF in the DOWN position
•
NOTE: The applicable ratio is stamped on each CT. Adjust the DIP switches only
when there is no current being supplied to the motor, or the switches could be
damaged.
Confirm Switch SettingsTo verify or change the motor current signal scaling:
Compare the CT ratio stamped on each CT to the CT ratio listed on the wiring

Parameter DefaultThe motor FLA parameter’s default value is 1 Amp.
motor’s FLA is stamped on the motor nameplate). See page 15 for the possible settings
with the CTs supplied and the different burden switch settings.
NOTE: If more than one motor is to be started by the same starter, the motor FLA
parameter must be the sum of all of the individual motor full load amp ratings.
NOTE: At or above 1000 Amps, the actual FLA is displayed by the starter in units of
thousands of Amps (e.g., 1.00 = 1000A, 1.01 = 1010A, 1.20 = 1200A).
Parameter values from 1 Amp through 999 Amps are set in 1 Amp increments.
•
Parameter values from 1000 Amps through 1200 Amps are set in 10 Amp

increments.
NOTE: In current controller mode (Cn3) this parameter represents the 100% current
level.
4.3P2 - Overload Multiplier
Parameter DescriptionThe motor overload multiplier parameter should be set to the same value as the
motor’s service factor. (The motor’s service factor is stamped on the motor name
plate).
The motor overload multiplier affects the overload relay maximum tripping
percentage as indicated in the NEC article 430. The overload multiplier indicates the
maximum continuous running motor current over that marked on the motor
nameplate. For example, a motor with a marked FLA of 126 amps and a 1.15 overload
multiplier may be run at 126 x 1.15 = 150 amps continuous.
NOTE: P2 is not used in any of the controller modes.

within the standard NEMA classification.
NOTE: When the motor thermal overload parameter is set to OFF, the starter does
not provide motor thermal overload protection. In this case, an external means of
motor protection must be provided.

Parameter DefaultThe initial motor starting current parameter’s default value is 100%.
(P1) initially delivered to the motor when it is started. It should be set to a level that
allows the motor to begin accelerating as soon as a start is commanded.
If the motor does not begin to accelerate immediately after a start is commanded, then
increase this parameter value. If the motor begins accelerating too quickly when a
start is commanded, decrease this parameter value.
NOTE: P4 is not used in any of the controller modes.
Parameter values are set in 5% increments (i.e., 55%, 60%, 65%).

4. OPERATING PARAMETERS
4.6P5 - Maximum Motor Starting Current
Parameter DescriptionThe maximum motor starting current parameter limits the amount of current
Parameter ValuesThe maximum motor starting current parameter values range from 200% through
Parameter DefaultThe maximum motor starting current parameter’s default value is 600%.
delivered to the motor during motor start-up and normal motor operation. Its value is
expressed as a percentage of the full load amps (P1) setting.
During motor start-up the motor current may not reach this setting. The maximum
motor starting current setting is reached only when it is required to start the load.
In all cases, the maximum motor starting current must be set high enough to enable
the motor to accelerate to full speed under all load conditions.
NOTE: The motor’s speed should be monitored during start-up to ensure that full
speed is achieved with the set maximum motor starting current value.
The maximum motor starting current value may need to be reduced for constant
current applications in order to limit the motor’s peak starting current. If the
maximum motor starting current is set below the initial current value, the starter will
perform a constant current start, holding the current at the maximum motor starting
current parameter value.
NOTE: P5 is not used in any of the controller modes.
NOTE: Once the motor is up to speed, the starter does not attempt to regulate
current.
600%. Parameter values are set in 5% increments (i.e., 205%, 210%, 215%).
4.7P6 - Motor Ramp Time
Parameter DescriptionThe motor ramp time parameter sets the amount of time (in seconds) that the starter
Parameter ValuesThe motor ramp time parameter values range from 0 seconds through 120 seconds.
Parameter DefaultThe motor ramp time parameter’s default value is 15 seconds.
will smoothly ramp from the selected initial motor current parameter value to the
selected maximum motor current parameter value.
For many applications, the motor and the driven load do not require the set current
level or ramp time to achieve full speed. If the motor’s acceleration during start-up is
acceptable, then no further adjustments are necessary.
NOTE: If the motor accelerates too quickly, increase ramp time. If the motor
accelerates too slowly, decrease ramp time.
NOTE: P6 is not used in any of the controller modes.
NOTE: If a motor ramp time parameter value of 0 seconds is selected with a
maximum motor current parameter value of 600%, the starter will act as a solid state
contactor and the motor will start instantaneously without ramping. This is similar to
a full voltage or across-the-line start.
Parameter values are set in 1 second increments.

4. OPERATING PARAMETERS
4.8P7 - Motor Stall Time

beginning of the ramp time that the starter will give the motor to achieve its full
operating speed before the starter disconnects the motor’s current and displays a fault
message.
NOTE: P7 is not used in any of the controller modes.
NOTE: Stall time must be greater than ramp time or a stall will always occur.
Parameter values are set in 1 second increments.
4.9P8 - Deceleration Level 1
Parameter DescriptionThe motor deceleration level 1 parameter is the initial percentage of line voltage
delivered to the motor after a Stop command has been received.
NOTE: The motor deceleration level 1 parameter is not functional when the motor
deceleration control jumper JP1 on the control card is in the disabled position or if the
motor deceleration time (P10) parameter is set to OFF (Refer to motor deceleration
time parameter, page 24).
If the motor initially surges when a stop is commanded, decrease this parameter
value. If the motor has a large, sudden drop in speed when a stop is commanded,
increase this parameter value.
NOTE: P8 is not used in any of the controller modes.
Parameter ValuesThe motor deceleration level 1 parameter values range from 0% through 100%.
Parameter DefaultThe motor deceleration level 1 parameter’s default value is 40%.
Parameter values are set in 1% increments.
23
4. OPERATING PARAMETERS
4.10P9 - Deceleration Level 2
Parameter DescriptionThe motor deceleration level 2 parameter is the final percentage of line voltage
Parameter ValuesThe motor deceleration level 2 parameter values range from 0% through 100%.
Parameter DefaultThe motor deceleration level 2 parameter’s default value is 10%.
delivered to the motor after a Stop command has been received, and the time
determined by the motor deceleration time (P10) parameter has expired.
The motor deceleration level 2 parameter is not functional if the motor deceleration
control jumper JP1 on the control card is in the disabled position or if the motor
deceleration time (P10) parameter is set to OFF (Refer to motor deceleration time
parameter, page 24).
If the motor is still rotating when the deceleration time has expired, decrease this
parameter value. If the motor stops rotating before the deceleration time has expired,
increase this parameter value.
NOTE: P9 is not used in any of the controller modes.
Parameter values are set in 1% increments.
NOTE: The motor deceleration level 2 parameter’s value must be less than the motor
deceleration level 1 parameter’s value. If the deceleration level 2 parameter is set
higher than the deceleration level 1 parameter, the starter will swap the deceleration
level 1 and deceleration level 2 settings when decel is commanded.
4.11P10 - Deceleration Time
Parameter DescriptionThe motor deceleration time parameter sets the deceleration time from motor
deceleration level 1 to motor deceleration level 2. Deceleration time is the amount of
time during which the starter will gradually reduce the amount of line voltage being
delivered to the motor (after a Stop command has been received).
The motor deceleration time parameter is not functional when the motor deceleration
control jumper JP1 on the control card is in the disabled position.
When this parameter is set to any value other than OFF, the motor deceleration Level
1 and motor deceleration Level 2 parameters must be programmed.
When the motor deceleration time parameter is set to OFF, the motor deceleration
level 1 and motor deceleration level 2 parameters are disabled.
If the motor is still rotating when the deceleration time expires, increase the
deceleration time. If the motor stops rotating before the deceleration time expires,
decrease the deceleration time.
NOTE: If the motor deceleration time parameter is set to OFF, the motor’s
deceleration is not controlled by the starter. If the motor needs to be stopped faster
than the time it takes to coast to a stop, the deceleration control will not help.
NOTE: P10 is not used in any of the controller modes.
NOTE: If deceleration jumper JP1 is in place and deceleration time is programmed,
the deceleration will not operate. The deceleration timer will block a restart attempt
until it has timed out. This can operate as a blocked restart timer for up to 1 minute.
This is useful for reversing starters or dual starters.
Parameter ValuesThe motor deceleration time parameter values range from OFF to 60 seconds.
Parameter DefaultThe motor deceleration time parameter’s default value is OFF.
Parameter values are set in 1 second increments.

5. OPERATING PROCEDURES
Ensure that each voltage measurement is less than 2 VAC.
Other Checks:
Measure the current on the motor cables to verify that the current on the motor
•
cables is balanced and each line is within acceptable amperage limits.
Measure the motor shaft speed with a tachometer to confirm that the motor is
•
operating at rated speed.
CAUTION: Hazardous voltages exist at the starter terminals. Use extreme
caution when measuring the voltages.
Thermal OverloadThe thermal overload provides motor thermal protection. It is designed so that the
percentage of overload will follow the thermal content of the motor. The starter uses
the current to model the motor temperature. The starter also models the running heat
in the motor by lowering the allowable overload time depending on the motor load (see
page 7 for the overload curves).
The thermal overload will settle at the following thermal content percentages,
according to the motor load:
10% - When the motor current is between 0% and 50% of the FLA value.
•
20% - When the motor current is between 50% and 75% of the FLA value.
•
30% - When the motor current is between 75% and 100% of the FLA value.
•
Once the thermal overload has tripped, the starter will take the following times to cool
down, which are dependant on the class of the overload:
Class 10 overload - 6 minutes
•
Class 20 overload - 12 minutes
•
Class 30 overload - 18 minutes
•
To ensure that the motor will not overheat during normal operations check the motor
thermal overload content. At the normal LED display:
Press the Down push button on the control card or remote door display.
•
The percentage of the motor’s total thermal capacity (i.e., the motor thermal
•
overload content) will appear on the red LED Display.
•
Ensure that the motor thermal capacity is not increasing past the hot running
value, as listed above, during normal operation. It will rise during starting and
then it should settle once the motor is up to speed.
•
Press the Down push button on the control card or remote door display to return
to the normal LED display.
NOTE: If power to the control card is removed, all motor thermal overload content
information stored by the starter will be lost. Caution should always be used to ensure
that a thermally overloaded motor is not started as if it were a cold motor.
CAUTION: Except in emergencies, allow a thermally overloaded motor to cool before
restarting it. This will prevent damaging the motor.
Resolving Overload TripsThe National Electrical Code, article 430 Part C, allows for different overload
32
multiplier factors depending on the motor and operating conditions.
NEC section 430-32 outlines the allowable overload multiplier (P2) for different
motors as follows:
MotorOverload Multiplier
Service factor 1.15 or more1.25
Motor temp. rise 40°C or less1.25
All others1.15
NEC section 430-34 permits further modifications if the overload multiplier (P2) is not
sufficient to start the motor:
MotorOverload Multiplier
Service factor 1.15 or more1.40
Motor temp. rise 40°C or less1.40
All others1.30
5. OPERATING PROCEDURES
Although the NEC doesn’t address the effect of the ambient temperature of the motor
location, guidance can be derived by examining NEC limits. If the motor is operating
in an ambient temperature that is less than 40°C, then the overload multiplier can be
increased while still protecting the motor from exceeding it maximum designed
temperature. The following curve gives the ambient temperature vs the correction
factor.
Temperature vs Correction Factor
100
80
60
40
Temperature
20
0
Correction Factor
1.001.500.50
For example; If a motor operates at 0°C then a 1.36 correction factor could be applied
to the overload multiplier. This could give a theoretical overload multiplier of 1.36 x
1.25 or 1.70. The highest legal value of overload multiplier is 1.40 so this could be
used.
Overload Emergency ResetIn emergency cases, when a thermally overloaded motor must be restarted before it
has cooled, and the power to the starter cannot be easily removed, the motor thermal
content emergency reset can be used to delete motor thermal overload content
information from the starter so that the motor can be restarted.
To reset the motor thermal content in an emergency:
•
Press the Down button and Enter buttons simultaneously on the control card.
•
All motor thermal overload content information stored by the starter will be
deleted, and the motor may be restarted.
