Must be bypassed at the end of starting () The starters conform to product standard IEC 097--, in particular with regard to EMC. This standard ensures a level of immunity for products and a level of emitted interference. In steady state, the interference emitted is below that required by the standard. During acceleration and deceleration phases, low level loads may be affected by low frequency interference (harmonics). To reduce this interference, connect chokes between the line supply and the Altistart 8 (see page 08/). Note: # Power factor correction capacitors can only be used upstream of the Altistart and only powered up at the end of starting. # The starter must be earthed to conform to the regulations concerning leakage currents ( 0 ma). When the use of an upstream "residual current device" for protection is required by the installation standards, an A-Si type device must be used. Check its compatibility with the other protective devices. If the installation involves several starters on the same line supply, each starter must be earthed separately. - pages 00/ and 00/ References: pages 0/ to 0/ Dimensions: pages 0/ to 0/ Schemes: pages 0/ to 0/7 0_Ver.0-EN.fm/

5 Characteristics (continued) Soft starters 0 Torque characteristics Curves indicating changes in the torque depending on the starting current of a threephase asynchronous motor. Curves : direct line starting Curves : starting in current limiting mode Torque curve Ts indicates the total torque range available depending on the limiting current Is. Limiting the starting current Is to a preset value Is will reduce the starting torque Ts to a value which is almost equal to the square of currents Is/Is. Example: For motor characteristics: Ts = Tn for Is = In, limit the current to Is = In (0. Is) resulting in a starting torque Ts = Ts x (0.)² = Tn x 0. = 0.7 Tn Starting current Direct line starting current Starting current limited to Is I/In Id 0 0 0, 0, 0,7 N/Ns Starting torque Direct line starting torque Starting torque with current limited to Is C/Cn Cd Cr 0 0 0, 0, 0,7 N/Ns pages 00/ and 00/ References: pages 0/ to 0/ Dimensions: pages 0/ to 0/ Schemes: pages 0/ to 0/7 0_Ver.0-EN.fm/

6 Characteristics (continued) Soft starters 0 Conventional starting using current limitation or voltage ramp With current limitation Is, the accelerating torque applied to the motor is equal to the motor torque Ts minus the resistive torque Tr. The accelerating torque increases in the starting range as the speed changes and is at its highest at the end of acceleration (curve ). This characteristic means that the load is taken up very abruptly, which is not recommended for pump type applications. Example of speed curve for starting with current limitation Current applied to the motor (I/In) Motor speed N/Ns I/In N/Ns 0, Starting with the Altistart 8 Example of speed curve for starting with torque control Current applied to the motor (I/In) Motor speed N/Ns 0 Torque control on the Altistart 8 applies the torque to the motor during the entire starting phase if the current required (curve ) does not exceed the limiting current. The accelerating torque can be virtually constant over the entire speed range (curve ). It is possible to set the Altistart in order to obtain a high torque on starting for a rapid motor speed rise whilst limiting its temperature rise, and a lower accelerating torque at the end of starting for gradual loading. This control function is ideal for centrifugal pumps or for machines with high resistive torque on starting. I/In N/Ns t 0, Stopping with the Altistart 8 0 # Freewheel stop: the motor comes to a freewheel stop. # Decelerated stop: this type of stop is ideal for pumps and can be used to effectively reduce pressure surges. Torque control on the Altistart 8 reduces the effect of hydraulic transients even if the load increases. This type of control makes adjustment easy. # Braked stop: this type of stop is suitable for high inertia applications as it reduces the stopping time of the machine. t pages 00/ and 00/ References: pages 0/ to 0/ Dimensions: pages 0/ to 0/ Schemes: pages 0/ to 0/7 0_Ver.0-EN.fm/

7 Selection criteria Soft starters 0 Selection criteria for an Altistart 8 soft start - soft stop unit The Altistart 8 must be selected on the basis of main criteria: # Two line power supply voltage ranges are available for selection: Three-phase a.c. voltage: 0 - V Three-phase a.c. voltage: V # The power and the nominal current indicated on the motor name plate # The type of application and the operating cycle: To simplify selection, the applications are categorised into types: Standard applications Severe applications Standard or severe applications define the limiting values of the current and the cycle for motor duties S and S. Standard application In standard applications, the Altistart 8 is designed to provide: # Starting at In for seconds or at In for seconds from a cold state (corresponding to motor duty S) # Starting at In for seconds or at In for seconds with a load factor of 0% and 0 starts per hour or a an equivalent thermal cycle (corresponding to motor duty S) The motor thermal protection must conform to protection class 0 (see page 0/). Example: centrifugal pump Severe application In severe applications, the Altistart 8 is designed to provide: # Starting at In for 8 seconds or at In for 90 seconds from a cold state (corresponding to S motor duty) # Starting at In for seconds with a load factor of 0% and starts per hour or a an equivalent thermal cycle (corresponding to S motor duty) The motor thermal protection must conform to protection class 0 (see page 0/). Example: grinder Motor duties S motor duty corresponds to starting followed by operation at constant load enabling the thermal equilibrium to be reached. S motor duty corresponds to a cycle comprising starting, operation at constant load and an idle period. This cycle is characterised by a load factor of 0%. Selecting the starter Once the appropriate application has been selected from the following page, select the starter from pages 0/ to 0/ according to the supply voltage and the motor power. Caution: If the Altistart 8 is installed inside an enclosure, observe the mounting and derating recommendations (see page 0/). 09_Ver.0-EN.fm/

8 Selection criteria (continued) Soft starters 0 Application areas Depending on the type of machine, the applications are categorized as standard or severe based on the starting characteristics, which are given as examples only, in the table below.

9 Selection criteria (continued) Soft starters 0 Special uses Other criteria can influence the selection of the Altistart 8: Starter wired to the motor delta terminal (see the recommended application diagram on page 0/) In addition to the most frequently encountered wiring layouts, where the starter is installed in the line supply of the motor and the motor is connected in star or delta configuration, the Altistart 8 ATS8 Q can be wired to the motor delta terminal in series with each winding (see the application diagram below). The starter current is lower than the line current absorbed by the motor by a ratio of Æ. This type of installation enables a starter with a lower rating to be used. Example: For a 00 V/0 kw motor with a line current of 9 A (nominal current for the delta connection), the current in each winding is equal to 9/Æ, i.e. A. Select the starter rating with a maximum permanent nominal current just above this current, i.e. 0A (ATS8CQ for a standard application). To avoid making this calculation, simply use the table on page 0/. This type of installation only permits freewheel stopping and is not compatible with the cascade and preheating functions. ATS8 Q motor Starter wired in series with the motor windings Note: The nominal current and limiting current settings as well as the current displayed during operation are on-line values (so do not have to be calculated by the user). Caution: For this type of installation, observe the wiring scheme and the associated recommendations on page 0/. Starter bypassed by a contactor (see the recommended application diagram on page 0/) The starter can be bypassed by a contactor at the end of starting (to limit the heat dissipated by the starter). The bypass contactor is controlled by the starter and the current measurements and protective mechanisms remain active when the starter is bypassed. The starter is selected on the basis of the main criteria and one of the following criteria: # If the starter is bypassed at the end of starting, the motor is always started from cold state and the starter can be oversized by one rating. Example: Select an ATS 8D7Q for an kw motor in a standard 00 V application. # If the starter must be able to operate without the bypass contactor at the end of starting, it does not have to be derated. Example: Select an ATS 8D7Q for a 7. kw motor in a standard 00 V application. 09_Ver.0-EN.fm/

10 Selection criteria (continued) Soft starters 0 Special uses (continued) Motors in parallel Motors may be connected in parallel provided that the power limit of the starter is not exceeded (the sum of the motor currents must not exceed the nominal current of the starter selected depending on the type of application). Provide thermal protection for each motor. Brush motor The Altistart 8 can operate with a bypassed stator resistance motor or with a resistance lug. The starting torque is modified in accordance with the rotor resistance. If necessary, maintain a low resistance in order to obtain the required torque to overcome the resistive torque on starting. A bypassed brush motor has a very low starting torque. A high stator current is required to obtain the sufficient starting torque. Oversize the starter in order that the value of the limiting current is 7 times that of the nominal current. Note: Ensure that the starting torque of the motor, equal to 7 times the nominal current, is greater than the resistive torque. Note: The Altistart 8 torque control enables excellent soft starting despite the limiting current being 7 times the nominal current required to start the motor. Dahlander motor and -speed motor The Altistart 8 can operate with a -speed motor. A motor demagnetisation period must elapse before changing from low speed to high speed in order to avoid antiphases between the line supply and the motor, which would generate very high currents. Select the starter using the main criteria. Very long cable Very long motor cables cause voltage drops due to the resistance of the cable. If the voltage drop is significant, it could affect the current consumption and the torque available. This must therefore be taken into account when selecting the motor and the starter. Starters in parallel on the same line supply If several starters are installed on the same line supply, line chokes should be installed between the transformer and the starter (see page 08/). Recommendations for use Caution: Do not use the Altistart 8 upstream of loads other than motors (for example transformers and resistors are forbidden). Do not connect power factor correction capacitors to the terminals of a motor controlled by an Altistart 8. 09_Ver.0-EN.fm/

Calculating the size of the enclosure Maximum thermal resistance Rth ( C/W) θ = maximum temperature inside enclosure in C θ θe Rth = θe = maximum external temperature in C P P = total power dissipated in the enclosure in W The starter/motor combinations on pages 0/ and 0/ can only be used in ambient temperatures Ã0 C. For temperatures between 0 C and 0 C, derate the maximum permanent current of the starter by % for every degree above 0 C. Power dissipated by the starter: see pages 0/ and 0/. If the starts are infrequent, it is advisable to bypass the Altistart at the end of starting in order to reduce heat dissipation. The power dissipated will then be between and 0 W. Add the power dissipated by the other equipment components. Effective exchange surface area of enclosure S (m ) (sides + top + front panel if wall-mounted) K S = Rth K is the thermal resistance per m of casing For ACM type metal enclosures: K = 0. with internal fan, K = 0. without fan Caution: Do not use insulated enclosures as they have a poor level of conductivity. pages 00/ and 00/ Characteristics: pages 0/ and 0/ References: pages 0/ to 0/ Schemes: pages 0/ to 0/7 0_Ver.0-EN.fm/

Adjustment range: 0. to. times the starter nominal current. # Limiting current The maximum starting current can be adjusted. Adjustment range: 0% to 700% of the nominal motor current set and limited to 00% of the maximum permanent current defined for the starter rating. % Cn # Acceleration ramp time During the starting phase, the Altistart 8 applies a torque ramp to the motor. The time (ACC) set corresponds to the time taken by the ramp to reach the nominal torque (starting at 0).

It can be used to dampen the hydraulic transient in order to significantly reduce pressure surges. The deceleration ramp time (dec) can be adjusted. During deceleration, the pump flow rate decreases and becomes negligible at a certain speed. To continue to decelerate would serve no purpose. A torque threshold (EdC) can be set at which the motor will change to freewheel stop mode, avoiding the unnecessary heating of the motor and the pump. 0 dec t Decelerated stop by torque control during time dec with threshold Edc for changing to freewheel stop mode Edc = 0% of nominal motor torque 00 % brc = 0 Dynamic braking motor stop (application: stopping high inertia machines) This type of stop will decelerate the motor if there is considerable inertia. The braking torque level (brc) can be adjusted. The dynamic braking time (T) corresponds to the time taken to decelerate from 00% to 0% of the nominal motor speed. To improve braking at the end of deceleration, the starter injects a d.c. current for an adjustable period of time (T). brc = 00 0 % 0 T T t Dynamic braking stops for different braking torque levels brc 0_Ver.0-EN.fm/

41 Functions (continued) Soft starters 0 t(s) 0000 Protection functions The Altistart 8 offers functions for protecting the motor and the machine Class A # Calculated motor thermal protection The starter continuously calculates the temperature rise of the motor based on the nominal current which has been set and the actual current absorbed. In order to adapt the Altistart to individual motors and applications, several protection classes are offered in accordance with standard IEC 097--: class 0, class, class 0 (severe application), class, class 0 (standard application), class 0 A, sub-class. Different protection classes are defined for the starting capacities of the motor: - cold start without thermal fault (corresponding to a stabilised motor thermal state, motor switched off) - warm start without thermal fault (corresponding to a stabilised motor thermal state, at nominal power) The motor thermal protection function can be disabled. After the motor has stopped or the starter has been switched off, the thermal state is calculated even if the control circuit is not energised. The Altistart thermal control prevents the motor from restarting if the temperature rise is too high. If special motors are used which do not have thermal protection via curves, provide external thermal protection via probes or thermal overload relays. The starter is factory-set to protection class 0. The tripping curves are based on the relationship between the starting current Is and the (adjustable) nominal motor current In. 0,,,00,00,00,00 Motor thermal protection curves (cold),00 7,00 Id/In 8,00 Trip time (cold) Trip time for a standard application (class 0) Trip time for a severe application (class 0) Is = In Is = In Is = In Is =.

42 Functions (continued) Soft starters 0 C (Cn) 00 % LUL + 0 % LUL t < tul 0 % Motor underload detection (ULL) tul ULL t Protection functions (continued) # Motor underload protection The starter detects a motor underload if the motor torque falls below a preset torque threshold (LUL) for a specific (adjustable) period of time (tul). The motor underload threshold can be set between 0% and 00% of the nominal motor torque. The permissible underload duration can be set between and 0 s. The detection function can trigger an alarm or a fault. The detection function can be disabled. The "motor underload detected" alarm can be indicated by a configurable logic output and/or displayed via the serial link in the state of the starter. The "motor underload detected" fault (ULF) locks the starter and can be displayed via the serial link. I 00 % # Excessive acceleration time protection This protection function can be used to detect a start which takes place in adverse conditions. Examples of such conditions include a locked rotor or a motor unable to reach its nominal rotation speed. If the start duration is greater than the value set (between 0 and 999 s), the drive changes to fault mode. The function can be disabled. LOC LOC -0 % 0 % t < tol Motor overcurrent detection (OIL) tol OIL t # Current overload protection The starter detects a current overload if the motor current exceeds a preset overcurrent threshold (LOC) for a specific (adjustable) period of time (tol). The overcurrent threshold can be set between 0% and 00% of the nominal motor current. The permissible overcurrent duration can be set between 0. and 0 s. This function is only active in steady state. The detection function can trigger an alarm or a fault. It can also be disabled. The "current overload detected" alarm can be indicated by a configurable logic output and/or displayed via the serial link. The "current overload detected" fault (OLC) locks the starter and can be displayed via the serial link in the state of the starter. # Protection against line phase inversion This function can be used to detect the direction of rotation of the motor phases and, if it is enabled, to indicate a fault when the direction of rotation is reversed. # Time before restarting This function can be used to avoid several consecutive starts which may cause: - the thermal overheating of the application, which is not permitted - a thermal fault which will require maintenance work to be carried out - overcurrents (if the direction of rotation is reversed) or repeats (run/stop commands) Following a stop command, the motor can only restart once the preset time delay has elapsed. The motor is restarted once the time delay has elapsed if a run command is still valid or if a new run command is sent. Adjustment range: 0 to 999 s. Configuring the starter overload and underload with PowerSuite on a PC # Motor phase loss detection The function is used to adjust the sensitivity of the protection function in order to detect a loss of current or a low current in one of the three motor phases for at least 0. s or in all three motor phases for at least 0. s. The value of the minimum current level can be set between % and 0% of the starter nominal current. # Automatic restart After locking on a fault, the function permits up to six restart attempts at intervals of 0 s if the fault has disappeared and the run commands are still present. After the sixth attempt, the starter will remain locked and the fault will have to be reset before a restart is permitted. If the function is active, the fault relay remains activated if line phase loss, motor phase loss or line frequency out of tolerance faults are detected. This function can only be used in -wire control. 0_Ver.0-EN.fm/

43 Functions (continued) Soft starters 0 Advanced adjustment functions # Torque limit Designed primarily for high inertia and constant torque conveyor applications, the function restricts the torque ramp reference to the preset value. For example, the function can be used to limit the torque to a constant value throughout the starting period. Adjustment range: 0% to 00% of the nominal motor torque. C 00 % Un 0 % Un Cd Torque Rampe ramp de couple # Voltage boost level The function can be used to avoid any "starting" torque (phenomenon caused by friction on stopping or by mechanical play). When a run command is sent, the starter applies a fixed voltage to the motor for a limited period of time before starting. The function can be disabled. The voltage setting value varies between 0% and 00% of the nominal motor voltage. 00 ms t Application of a voltage boost equal to 00% of the nominal motor voltage # Connecting the starter to the motor delta terminal ATS8///Q starters connected to motors with delta terminals can be wired in series in the motor windings. This type of connection reduces the current in the starter by a ratio of Æ, which enables a lower rating starter to be used. The nominal current and limiting current settings as well as the current displayed during operation are on-line values and are indicated on the motor. For this application, the braking or decelerating stop functions are inactive. Only freewheel stopping is possible. The adjustment range of the nominal motor current and the limiting current are multiplied by ÆÃif the function is selected. This function is not compatible with the following functions: motor phase loss detection, motor preheating, cascade, decelerated stop and dynamic braking. Use the scheme recommended on page 0/ for this type of configuration. # Test on low power motor This function can be used to test a starter on a motor whose power is very much lower that of the starter. It can be used for example to check the electrical wiring of a device. The function is automatically cancelled when the starter is switched off. The next time the starter is switched on, the starter returns to its initial configuration. # Activation of the cascade function This function can be used to start and decelerate several cascaded motors with a single starter. In order to gain maximum benefit from torque control, it is advisable to use motors with powers between 0. and times the power of the motor. The wiring diagram for the cascaded motor function is shown on page 0/. This function is not compatible with the following functions: motor preheating and connection to the motor delta terminal. # Line frequency The following frequencies can be selected for the function: - 0 Hz. The frequency fault monitoring tolerance is ± 0%. - 0 Hz. The frequency fault monitoring tolerance is ± 0%. - Automatic detection of the line frequency by the starter The frequency fault monitoring tolerance is ± %. 0 Hz and 0 Hz are recommended if the power supply is provided by a generating set, given their high tolerance. # Reset kwh or the operating time Sets the value of the power in kw/h or the operating time value to 0. The calculation of the values is updated once the reset command has been sent. # Return to factory settings The function can be used to reset each setting to its initial value (starter factory setting, see page 0/). 0_Ver.0-EN.fm/

45 Functions (continued) Soft starters 0 Logic input application functions The starter has logic inputs: # logic inputs (RUN and STOP) are reserved for run/stop commands which can be sent in the form of stay-put contacts or as pulsed contacts. -wire control: Starting and stopping are controlled by a single logic input. State of the logic input controls starting and state 0 controls stopping. -wire control: Starting and stopping are controlled by separate logic inputs. A stop is obtained on opening (state 0) the STOP input. The pulse on the RUN input is stored until the stop input opens. Assigning the logic inputs with PowerSuite on PPC # logic inputs (LI and LI) can be configured with the following functions: Freewheel stop: When combined with a braked stop or decelerated stop command, activating the logic input will stop the motor in freewheel mode. External fault: Enables the starter to detect an external user fault (level, pressure, etc.). When the contact is open, the starter changes to fault mode. Motor preheating: Used to prevent the motor from freezing or to prevent temperature variations which may cause condensation. When the logic input is activated, an adjustable current flows through the motor after a time delay which can be set between 0 and 999 s. This current heats the motor without causing it to rotate. This function is not compatible with the following functions: connection to the motor delta terminal and cascading. Force to local control mode: If a serial link is used, this function can be used to change from line mode (control via serial link) to local mode (control via the terminal). Inhibit all protection: Enables the forced operation of the starter in an emergency by overriding the main faults (smoke extraction system for example). Warning: This type of use invalidates the starter warranty. Reset motor thermal fault: Enables the fault to be reset remotely. Activation of the cascade function: In this case, the motor thermal protection is disabled and relay R is configured as the fault isolation relay. Can be used to start and decelerate several motors one after the other with a single starter (see application diagram on pages 0/ and 0/7). Reset all faults: Enables all faults to be reset remotely. Second set of motor parameters: Enables a second set of parameters to be selected to start and decelerate two different motors with a single starter. 0_Ver.0-EN.fm/8

46 Functions (continued) Soft starters 0 Logic output application functions The starter has logic outputs (LO and LO) which, depending on their configuration, can be used for remote indication of the following states or events: # Motor thermal alarm: Indicates that the motor thermal state has exceeded the alarm threshold and can be used for example to avoid starting a motor if the thermal reserve is insufficient. # Motor powered: Indicates that there may be current in the motor. # Motor overcurrent alarm: The motor current is higher than the threshold set. # Motor underload alarm: The motor torque is lower than the threshold set. # Motor PTC probe alarm: Indicates that the thermal state monitored by the PTC motor probe has been exceeded. # Second set of motor parameters activated Assigning the analogue output with PowerSuite on PC Relay and analogue output application functions The starter has relays, of which are configurable. # End of starting relay R: Cannot be configured. The end of starting relay controls the bypass contactor on the starter. It is activated when the motor has completed the starting phase. It is deactivated when a stop command is sent and in the event of a fault. The starter regains control when a braking or deceleration command is sent. # Relay R application functions Relay R can be configured as follows: Fault relay: Relay R is activated when the starter is powered and there are no faults. It is deactivated when a fault occurs and the motor switches to freewheel mode. Isolating relay: The contact of relay R closes when a run command is sent and re-opens when a stop command is sent, at the end of deceleration on a decelerated stop or in the event of a fault. The line contactor is deactivated and the motor is isolated from the line supply (see application diagram page 0/). # Relay R application functions Relay R is configured to indicate the same states or events as logic outputs LO or LO (see above). # Analogue current output AO application functions The analogue output AO provides an image of the following values: motor current, motor torque, motor thermal state, cosine ϕ, active power. The following settings are associated with the analogue output: - the type of signal supplied: 0-0 ma or -0 ma - the scale setting of the signal. The function associates the maximum amplitude of the analogue output (0 ma) with a percentage of the nominal value of the parameter, which can be set between 0% and 00%.
