PRECAUTIONS
Electric shock prevention:
The enclosure of the starter cabinet must be grounded properly to keep away
from the electric shock even if electric leakage on the enclosure. Disconnect all
power supplies before maintenance for soft starter or motor. Due to storage
function of internal RC circuit, the triggering component will keep dangerous
voltage even if the main power supply is cut off. Use a connection wire to
short-circuit it with ground in order to discharge the voltage.
Compensation capacitance:
The non-active power compensation capacitance is used to raise power factor
must be connected to VS65 soft starter’s input terminal and not connect to the
output terminal; otherwise, the soft starter’s controlled silicon power device
may be damaged.
Insulation test:
To test voltage withstanding ability of the 3-phase supply to ground, have to
take off all circuit control boards. Using a M ohm meter to measure the
insulation voltage withstanding of control board to ground is also forbidden.
Low-voltage test:
The test should be strictly in accordance with operating instructions. The low voltage terminal of the voltage transformer should be disconnected.
Input & output:
Do not make mistakes when connecting input and output terminals of the VS65
soft starter’s main loop; otherwise, there may be result in the unexpected
actions of the soft starter, which could damage the starter and motor.
TRIAL RUN
Before commissioning the softstarter, please, read section 8 of this manual
referred to power cabinet.
Verify all parameters before operating the softstarter. Alteration of parameters
may be required depending on application and load.
Always apply voltage and current signals to each terminal that are within levels
indicated within this manual. Otherwise, damage to the softstarter may result.
EARTH CONNECTION
Connect only to the dedicated ground terminal of the softstarter. Do not use the
case or the chassis screw for grounding.
When installing, grounding wire should be connected first and removed last.
The earth cable must have a minimal cross sectional area that meets local
country electrical regulations.
Motor ground must be connected to the softstarter ground terminal and not to
the installation’s ground. We recommend that the section of the ground
connection cable should be equal or higher than the active conductor.
Installation ground must be connected to the softstarter ground terminal.

1.3. Design Features
The VS65 medium-and high-voltage (3300~15000V) soft starter consists of two cabinets: one is the
power cabinet with main vacuum circuit-breaker, and the other is the softstarter cabinet. Both parts
are described below:
Main Vacuum circuit-breaker
The main vacuum circuit-breaker on the power cabinet allows that the motor can be started
or stopped with the load. The switch should be with the protection for the short circuit.
Regarding the designed maximum value, the 5kV main vacuum circuit-breaker is used for the
2300~4160V soft starter, the 7.2kV one is used for the 6000~7200V soft starter, and the
15kV one is used for the 10~14kV soft starters.
Soft starter
The soft starter part consist of the bypass vacuum contactor, controlled silicon component,
RC absorber circuit, trigger circuit, and the controlling part, etc.
o Bypass vacuum contactor:
After the soft starter fishing the motor starting, the contactor will be closed and allow the
motor current to supply through the bypass contactor. Regarding the used voltage ratio,
the 5kV is used for 2300V and 4160V, the 7.2kV is used for 6000V and 7200V, and the
15kV is used for 10kV and 15kV soft starters.

o RC absorber circuit:
It provides instantaneous voltage protection circuit in order to reduce dV/dt surge voltage
and prevents the damage into the silicon controlled component.
o Trigger circuit:
It provides over 2A trigger pulses to ensure the dynamic voltage to be distributed
between the silicon controlled in series and in parallel stably. Both the trigger circuit and
the controlled silicon will be at the high voltage, which are separated from the control
board and the transformer by optical fibers.
o The controlled silicon high-voltage component are arranged in parallel and in series, the
practical quantity is depending on the motor’s voltage.

1.4. Operating Principle
The VS65 has a micro CPU as its control core that can start up and protect the motor. The CPU can
control and trigger the phase angle of SCR in order to reduce voltage applied to motor, and at next
step, by regulating the voltage and current applied on the motor slowly so that the motor torque can
be increased smoothly till the motor runs at full speed after acceleration ramp.
The starting mode can reduce the surge current at motor’s starting stage, decreasing impact on the
electrical grid and the motor itself. Meanwhile, it also can reduce the mechanical impact to the device,
increasing the equipment’s service life and avoid some fault and breakdown.
VS65 series can provide 3 types of starting mode:
Voltage ramp starting mode:
Current-limited starting mode:
The voltage ramp with current-limiting function is the factory configuration and the most
reliable starting mode that meets the most requirements. The initial torque should be set at a
value that just can drive the motor with the load to start. And then the voltage will be rise
smoothly, within a specified ramp time and starting current range till the motor runs at the fullspeed.
During the starting, the current is increased to the specified value rapidly till the motor runs at
the full speed.
INTRODUCTION
13
Page 16

POWER ELECTRONICS
Heavy load starting mode:
The mode is used mainly in some applications where the motor drives the loads with big
inertia such as the fan, the ball mills, etc. The function can increase 8 seconds to alternative
the bypass circuit in order to avoid excessively impact current due to too earlier switching.
Figure 1.1 Block diagram
1.5. Protection for Motor and System
VS65 soft starter series provides protections for the soft starter and for the motor. These protections
are:
3-phases input loss protection: the motor will only start at 3-phases input supply.
Over temperature protection: this is due to the softstarter startup frequently, that will be resulted in
the controlled silicon working at over temperature (up to 85℃)
Over starting time protection: if the starting time is too long to damage the softstarter and the
motor. The maximum value of starting time is up to 120s.
The softstarter can cut off the output of controlled silicon during the starting or switch off the
bypass vacuum contactor after starting in order to protect the motor. Meanwhile, by the external
detection input (e.g. overload, phase input loss, etc.), these will cut off the power supply.

2. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
2.1. Acceptance and Unpacking
VS65 is usually transported upright. For the shipment abroad, the equipment may be placed
horizontally in a container.
Unpack the goods carefully and check for any damage taken placed during the transportation. In
case of damaged, please fill in a damage report within 15 days of reception of delivery order.
Confirm the received shipment accord with the ordered model. The product model is shown on the
label of the low-voltage control board.
2.2. Initial Inspection
Check whether there is damage during transportation and handling.
Check whether there is the loosen parts, broken wires, or loosen connections phenomenon during
the transportation and handling. The loosen connections should increase impedance and affect the
performance.
Before startup, please check and confirm the rated voltage and the rated current.
2.3. Operating Environment
The proper installing location can ensure its normal running and service life. VS65 softstarter must be
installed in an environment meeting these requirements:
Operating temperature: 0~50℃ (32°F-122°F) (running at -20℃ is acceptable if there is the
heating resistance) against rain and moisture.
Humidity: 5~95% non-condensing.
Keep away from the metal scraps, conductive dusts, and corrosive gases.
Oscillation (less than 0.5G).
2.4. Power Connections
Connect the 3-phase medium voltage power lines to the equipment’s input terminals L1, L2, and L3.
Connect the three phases of motor to the output terminals U, V, and W.
The copper bars or the cable must be complied with the standard of the current capacity and the
voltage isolation.
WARNING
Pressing the “Stop” button does not means to cut off the power supply, there is still high voltage
applied to the AC main loop. Prior to maintenance, it is necessary to switch off the main power
supply, i.e. turn off the main vacuum circuit-breaker, and put it at the test position. The WARNING
sign should be adhered on the panel of control cabinet and complied w ith the local electrical
regulations. It is forbidden to connect a capacitance power-factor compensator with the output of
VS65, otherwise will be resulted in the impact current that may damage SCR during startin g. Do
not connect a capacitor to the output of soft starter. If PFC (power-factor compensa tor) is
necessary, please contact with the manufacturer. To avoid the wrong connection of the input and
output terminals; otherwise the logic control circuits will be damaged.

2.6. Connection and Usage of Control Terminals
2.6.1. Preparations for connection
If the user intends to use the external terminals, we suggest using a shielded wire leading out
from the terminal, the shielded should be connected to the ground.
To prevent electro-magnetic interference, the control cable should be kept away from motor’s
cables and other inductive devices.
2.6.2. Connection of relay output terminal
Bypass relay terminals
After the starting process is finished, the inside contact will be closed, the bypass contact KM
will be closed; when the stop instruction is order, the inside contact will be opened (See Fig
2.1).
Figure 2.1 J11 Connector wiring
Fault output terminals
The inside contact can be programmed. It is normally-open at factory setting and can be set
to normally-closed through programming. The contact has capacity of AC 250V 5A.
Interlocking relay output terminals
These contacts are mainly used when the device is interlocked with other equipments. It may
be programmed to select status.
See 4.3.6 contact capacity AC 250V 5A; external control input terminal J2
Emergency stop input terminal
They are used for the external fault signal input. Only be closed, the starter can run. When
they are opened, the starter will stop. The user may program to no use the function.
The three terminals are to be connected to external startup and stop buttons. They need to
be programmed.
Fig 2.2 shows the three-wire connection method.
POWER ELECTRONICS

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
Page 21
POWER ELECTRONICS
But the two-wire connection should be practiced for the cases below (See Fig 2.3).
1. When the customer needs only a switching contact to control starting and stop of softstarter,
like the control contact J of PC/PLC.
2. When the delay function of soft starter is used, when J is closed and after a certain delay, the
starter begins starting. The delay value can be set by programming (See 4.3.3 for details).
Analogue current signal output (4~20mA)
This is used to the proportional 4~20mA current signal of main loop, with the proportional
output current can be selected by programming (See 4.3.9).
Operational power supply terminal
Provides power supply 110~220V (AC 50Hz) by a voltage transformer usually.
Field bus terminal
MODBUS RTU and PROFIBUS share the terminal. It is necessary to select the protocol
while ordering the softstarter. See Chapter 7 for the communication protocol.

7. COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
The customer can select the protocol between Modbus and Profibus when placing orders. In case of
choosing communication bus controlling, the function code 09 must be set to 04, 05, or 06 to activate the
communication function.
7.1. Profibus Protocol
The device uses Profibus-DP to implement the communication function. The protocol standard is
specified by EN50170. The Profibus communication interface has the following features:
The Profibus performs cyclic communication rapidly;
The Profibus supports baud rate up to 12MHz;
Up to 125 soft starters can be controlled;
With a Profibus debugging tool, configuring is very easy;
The built-in Profibus communication module is very convenient in connection setup;
All control parameters of soft starter can be set, modified by serial bus;
The response time of data is 5ms.
Principles for quickly setup
It is necessary to connect with the cable between the master and softstarter correctly, including
terminal resistance (for communication rate of 12M).
The bus cable should be a shielded cable, the shielding should be connected to ground.
The bus must be in running status;
The softstarter must be power-on.
The slave address (function code) of soft starter must be set correctly and consistent with that on
the master. The soft starting address must be unique.
When the soft starter shows a fault of connection, please check the connection cable between the
master station and the softstarter, the slave address, and other parameters.
The terminal A and B should be connected to 220ohm resistance in parallel. When multiple
devices are connected in parallel, only one of them needs to be connected with a resistance.
7.1.1. Application protocol
The Profibus controls VS65 by data blocks. There are two data areas, the Parameter
Identification Area PKW and the Process Control Area PZD, occupying 2 words in input/output
respectively. The former is used to read and modify starter’s function parameters and the latter is
used to control and monitor status and current. The master station’s configuration is given by
GSD file (See the table below).

8.1.Switch Operation of Power Cabinet
The next steps must be followed in order to power-on the power cabinet:
1. Moving the MV breaker from the test position to the working position by the rotating Rocker.
You can hear a “click” sound while the MV breaker is on the working position, after power up you
can find the “MV breaker in working position” lamp is ON.
2. Storing energy for MV breaker.
By the “Store energy for MV breaker “switch, you can turn ON and find the “Energy for MV
breaker stored” lamp is ON.
Note: The store of energy should be available immediately once the switch “Store energy for MV breaker” is
on.
3. MV breaker is closed.
Rotate the “MV breaker ON/OFF” from the “off” left position to the “pre-off” middle position to the
“pre-on” middle position and to the “On” right position. You can find the “MV breaker on” lamp is
ON.
The power-off process of the power cabinet is the following one:
1. MV breaker is opened.
Rotate the “MV breaker ON/OFF” from the “on” right position to the “pre-on” middle position and
to the “pre-off” middle position till the “off” left position. You can find the “MV breaker off” lamp is
ON and the “MV breaker on” lamp is OFF.
2. Moving the MV breaker from the working position to the test position by the rotating Rocker.
If you want to maintenance of the SS, you have to put the MV breaker on the test position to
ensure cut off the MV power.

8.2.1.1.Basic Principle
OCDT protection, two stages
The OCDT I is valid after starting the motor and can set a delay time. It is mainly used for the
short-circuit protection of the motor. Any phase current among A, B, C is larger than the setting
protection value and after delay time, the device will trip at once.
Figure 8.2 Logic diagram of OCDT I protection
The OCDT II is used for the rotor locked protection of the motor. It is valid after starting the motor.
The function can prevent from too long starting time and rotor locked. Any phase current among
A, B, C is larger than the setting protection value and after delay time, the device will trip at once.
Figure 8.3 Logic diagram of OCDT II protection
Negative-phase-sequence over current protection
The device provide the NPS I protection to prevent the motor from phase loss, serious voltage
imbalance. The NPS II protection can be used for the more sensitive current imbalance and you
can select the action between warn and trip.

Overload protection
If the current of phase A or phase C (or three phases) is larger than overload setting value, then
the timer is starting. The device can select the action between the warn and trip.
Thermal Overload protection
Thermal overload protection is used to prevent the motor from overheat. Considering the thermal
effect of positive-sequence current (I1) and negative-sequence current (I2), we build a formula as
below to simulate the process of the motor producing (Ieq) heat:
In the start-up time of the motor, K1=0.5 and after the start-up time, K 2=3 ~ 10.
After the device trip, the motor is forbidden to restart until the motor has return to the cool status
or press the “RES” key on the keypad.
Earth fault protection
If the zero sequence current is larger than the setting value, then the timer is starting. The device
can select the action between the warn and trip.

Residual over voltage protection
The residual over voltage protection is also used to prevent the stator from the earth fault. If the
zero sequence voltage is larger than the setting value, then the timer is starting. The device can
select the action between the warn and trip.

Under voltage protection
If the line voltage is less than the setting value and the lasting time is longer than the setting time,
the under voltage protection will be operated. The device can automatically detect PT breaking.

Over voltage protection
If the line voltage is larger than the setting value and the lasting time is longer than the setting
time, the over voltage protection will be operated.
