11.. GENERALITIES

Squirrel-Cage Motor Starting

There are numerous applications where soft starting and limited current peak are needed, thereby making direct starting of squirrel-cage motors impossible. Traditionally in such cases other types of starting with reduced stator voltage have been resorted to. The best-known are star-delta starters, autotransformer starters, stator resistance starters or using part winding motors. Any reduced starting voltage imposes a current limitation, thus reducing the starting torque, but there will always be peaks during the change from one point or state to another which can damage the machine being driven. Note that in general, all reduced voltage starts reduce torque in squared proportion to the current in the phases of the motor (not on the line) and the latter in turn is reduced in linear proportion to the voltage. From this it can be deduced that any start with reduced voltage reduces the torque in squared proportion to the voltage per motor phase. From this point of view soft starting produces just like any other reduced voltage start, a reduction in starting torque, according to the adjusted parameters. The advantage is the ease with which this ramp can be controlled to produce a soft start in accordance with the actual requirement of the machine.

Advantages of the ASTAT-BP Solid State Soft Starters

Increase in productivity and reliability with the use of static soft starters

Starting and stopping the motor without steps or transitions lengthens the life of power-driven machine mechanical elements, greatly reducing stress on transmission and coupling parts. Consequently, overhauling times are reduced and machine and facility lifespans are lengthened.

Improvement in acceleration / deceleration characteristics

Being able to start by using the voltage ramp or alternatively by limiting current lets acceleration fit the load characteristics. Application of a pulse start may also be selected in cases of high static friction load. Stopping may be made by cutting-off power or by soft stop ramp.

Internal bypass

In order to reduce heat dissipation and power loss and for better wiring simplicity, an internal bypass device is incorporated in the ASTAT-BP. Bypass is closed after ramping up and opens upon stop or soft stop commands.

Protected motor

The soft starter protects the motor from overloads as well as from incorrect operating conditions such as loss of an input or output phase, blocked rotor, thyristor short circuit, etc.

Digital technology

The control system is based on the use of a highly specialized microcontroller by which signals are treated digitally, thereby avoiding deratings and adjustments common to analogue circuits and obtaining excellent precision and speed of execution. The control board is made with the technology of surface mounting devices (SMD), which increases equipment reliability.

High level of immunity

Design of the unit was closely tied to the conditions of supply lines, which handle more disturbances every day. The control signals are opto-electronically isolated and various levels of protection have been set up in the circuits to immunize the equipment against external disturbance and its effects.

Easy to run and adjust

This unit can be used for a wide range of applications. Adjustments are very easy to make and diverse options maybe selected for have equipment capabilities suited to application needs every time.

Easy maintenance due to full monitoring

The alphanumeric display and the LEDs on its front overlay makes the equipment working conditions known at any time.

Pump control

The ASTAT-BP includes several soft stop curves which is more effective than the standard soft stop, reducing fluid surges or hammering in a pipe line system. This method reduces the motor speed, by controlling internal parameters in the motor as well as the output voltage in a close-loop system.

Advanced functions

The ASTAT-BP includes advanced functions, like linear acceleration ramp, forward and reverse jog, programmable I/O or connection to a control system via Modbus protocol included as standard and other optional protocols. These functions allow the incorporation of the soft starter to a distributed control net, in automated plant processes, together with other soft starters,programmable controllers, variable speed drives, etc.

Overload Class is operational as programmed in the Overload Protect parameter. (see next parameter) The O/L circuitry incorporates a thermal memory register that calculates heating minus dissipation of the motor. The ASTAT-BP trips when the register fills up. The time constant for cool down after overload trip is: For IEC/NEMA Class 10 – 320seconds For IEC/NEMA Class 20 – 640seconds For NEMA Class 30 – 960seconds Refer to section 2.4 on page 10 for thermal characteristic.

Range Unit Description

Kickstart level is 80% Un.

Intended to start high friction loads that require high starting

torque for a short time.

A pulse of 80% Un without Current Limit is initiated to break the

load free.

Kickstart Time is adjustable, 0.1–1sec. After this pulse the

voltage is ramped down to Starting Voltage setting

before ramping up again to full voltage according to the Start

Settings.

After reaching 50% the display changes to: Starting Current 100-400%

mains voltage

The motor’s torque is directly proportional to the square

of the voltage.

This adjustment also determines the inrush current and

mechanical shock. A setting that is too high may cause high

initial mechanical shock and high inrush current. This can occur

even if Current Limit is set low because the Starting

Voltage setting overrides the Current Limit setting.

A setting that is too low may result in prolonged time until the

motor starts to turn. In general, this setting should ensure that

the motor starts turning immediately after start signal.

Note:

When Starting Voltage is set its maximum value, this

displays changes to Starting Current.

When Starting Current is set the ASTAT-BP causes

current ramp instead of voltage ramp.

There is no Kickstart function when ASTAT-BP is connected in DELTA Conf.

The range of the Starting Voltage can be extended to 5-80% by using the EXPANDED SETTING as described in section 4.7.6 page 36.

Range Unit Description

Motor Current

A setting that is too high will increase the current drawn from

mains and speed up acceleration.

A setting that is too low may prevent the motor from completing

the acceleration process and reaching full speed. In general, this

setting should be set to a value that is high enough to prevent

stalling.

Current Limit is limited to the value of:

<350x(Starter Current/Motor Current)>

with a minimum setting of 300% and a maximum

setting of 700%.

Note:

Current Limit does not operate during RUN and SOFT

STOP.

10 SEC.

Determines the motor’s voltage Ramp UP Time, from initial to

full voltage.

It is recommended to set the Ramp UP Time to the minimum

acceptable value (approx. 5 sec).

Notes:

Since Current Limit overrides Ramp UP Time, when

Current Limit is set low, the starting time will be longer

than the Ramp UP Time setting.

When the motor reaches full speed before voltage reaches

nominal, Ramp UP Time setting is overridden, causing voltage

to quickly ramp-up to nominal.

Using Soft Start Curve 1, 2, 3 prevents quick

ramp up.

The range of the Ramp UP Time can be extended to 1-90 sec. by using the EXPANDED SETTING as described in section 4.7.6 page 36.
