SOFT STARTERS Easy Selection Guide MOTOR CONTROL AND DRIVES nhp.com.au

Follow the three Easy Steps to select the right soft starter for your motor application. STEP 3: Select your motor connection STEP : Select your motor full load current rating Soft starters are commonly used in motor applications. Motor data ratings are referred to as the power of the motor in kw and the full load current (FLC) or nominal current in amps. What is the kw and motor full load current? Both of these ratings can be found on the name plate of the motor or directly from the motor manufacturer. When selecting a soft starter be sure to check the FLC rating is sufficient to run the motor. 3 3 wire motor connection 6 wire motor connection Category Light duty Medium duty Heavy duty duty Start condition 3x FLC, 0 second start 3.5x FLC, 5 second start 4x FLC, 0 second start 4.5x FLC, 30 second start Motor kw Typical ratings for 3-phase motor @ 45 V AC Approx. full Approx. full load current Motor kw load current Motor kw @ 45 V AC @ 45 V AC Approx. full load current @ 45 V AC 0.37 30 55 50 45 0.55.6 37 66 300 55 0.75 45 80 35 535.5 3.5 55 00 375 65. 5 75 35 400 670 4 8.4 90 65 450 750 5.5 0 00 500 80 7.5 4 3 40 560 90 60 80 630 00 5 8 85 35 700 00 8.5 35 00 340 800 380 40 0 390 900 500 STEP : Select your Application Soft starter product selection is influenced by the type of motor application.

When using the PCS in 6 wire mode, the overload current must be set to 58 % of the motor FLC. E.g: a 50 amp motor in 6 wire would use a PCS-030-480 V and the overload current setting would be set to 9 Amps. LED status indication Clear indication of all motor and system fault conditions via a flash coded LED. DIN-rail mounting & screw fixing Complete with DIN-rail mounting and screw fixing, the PCS is easy to install. Configurable Auxiliary Contacts As standard, the PCS provides a configurable (normal or up-to-speed) normally open (N/O) auxiliary contact for motor run status indication. The PCS has a line of side-mount configurable (normal or up-to-speed) auxiliary contacts, allowing you more flexibility. Integral motor overload/fault contact A normally open (N/O) fault contact for indication of motor overload/fault is included on the PCS. 4 5
