Supply Specifications General Specifications
This motor controller is in-
tended to be used to softstart
single phase run capacitor
induction motors and thereby
reduce the stress or wear on
gear and belt/chain drives and
to give smooth operation of
machines. Soft starting is
achieved by controlling the
motor voltage. During running
operation the semiconductor is
bypassed by an internal elec-
tromechanical r elay.
The initial torque can be ad-
justed from 0 to 85% of the
nominal torque.
The softstart time can be ad-
justed from 0.5 to appr ox.
6.5 s.
A green LED indicates supply.
Two yellow LEDs indicate
Ramp up and Running mode.
Overload protection is not pr o-
vided in this motor controller
and must therefore be in-
stalled separately.
The controller is only switching
L1 line. The L2/N and L3 are
continuously connected to the
load.

Changing from Direct ON
Line start to soft start
(Line controlled soft-start)
(Fig. 1 )
Changing a Direct On Line
start into a soft start is very
simple with the RSE soft-
starting relay:
1) Cut the cable to the motor
and insert the RSE relay.
2) Connect control input to the
two mains lines.
Set initial
torque to minimum
and
ramp up potentiometer to
maximum.
3) Power up again - adjust the
start torque so the motor
starts turning immediately
after power is applied, and
adjust ramp time to the
appropriate value.
When C1 is operated, the
motor controller will perform
soft-start of the motor. When
C1 is switched off, the motor
will stop, the motor controller
will reset and after 0.5 s a new
soft-start can be performed.
Please note that the controller
does not insulate the motor
from the mains. Contactor C1
is therefore needed as a ser-
vice switch for the motor.

Time between rampings
To prevent the semiconduc-
tors from overheating, a cer-
tain time between ramping
should be allowed. The time
between rampings depends
on the motor current during
ramping and ramp time (see
tables below).
Note:
Table is valid for ambient
temperature 25°C. For higher
ambient temperature add
5%/°C to values in the tables.
The shaded areas in the tables
are for blocked rotor. Do not
repeat rampings with blocked
rotor.
Fusing Considerations
The motor controller provides
by-passing of the semicon-
ductor during running opera-
tion. Therefore the semicon-
ductor can only be damaged
by short-circuit currents dur-
ing ramp-up and ramp-down
function.
A single-phase run capacitor
induction motor with correctly
installed and adjusted over-
load protection does not short
totally between lines or direct-
ly to earth as some other
types of loads, e.g. heater
bands. In a failing motor there
will always be some part of a
winding to limit the fault cur-
rent. If the motor is installed in
an environment where the
supply to the motor cannot be
damaged, the short circuit
protection can be considered
to be acceptable if the con-
troller is protected by a single-
pole thermal-magnetic over-
load relay.
If the risk of short circuit of the
motor cable, the controller or
the load exists, then the con-
troller must be protected by
ultrafast fuses, e.g. Ferraz 660
gRB 10-25. Fuseholder type
PST 10.
3-phase torque r eduction
When C1 is closed, a torque
reduced start of the 3-phase
motor will be performed
according to the setting of the
ramp-up potentiometer, and
the setting of the initial torque
potentiometer.
Warning:
When the motor is stopped
C1 must be open to remove
all 3 phases from the motor.
This is necessary to avoid 2-
phase running of the motor.
