CAUTION STATEMENTS
MVE User Manual (710-17074-00G) | 3
2. Caution Statements
Caution Statements cannot cover every potential cause of equipment damage but can highlight common causes of damage. It is
the installer's responsibility to read and understand all instructions in this manual prior to installing, operating or maintaining the
equipment, to follow good electrical practice including applying appropriate personal protective equipment and to seek advice
before operating this equipment in a manner other than as described in this manual.
•Read and understand the entire manual before installing operating, or maintaining the MVE. Follow all applicable
local and national codes.
•Apply appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and clothing, and follow safe electrical work practices.
•Disconnect all power and ensure that the MVE is de-energised before servicing the equipment.
•Do not rely on visual indications such as switch position or fuse removal for determining a de-energised condition.
Always assume that a terminal is energised until it is checked and ensure that a terminal is de-energised and
grounded.
•Isolate the MVE completely from the power supply before attempting any work on the MVE or motor.
•Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm power is off.
•Before servicing the MVE, ensure that all static charge has been discharged by grounding it with an appropriate
grounding device.
•Metal swarf in the cabinet can cause equipment failure.
•The control inputs are powered by the soft starter. Do not apply external voltage to the control input terminals.
•Contacts or switches operating the control inputs must be suitable for low voltage, low current switching (ie gold
flash or similar).
•Cables to the control inputs must be segregated from mains voltage and motor cabling.
•Some contactor coils are not suitable for direct switching with PCB mount relays.
WARNING - ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
The MVE contains dangerous voltages when connected to mains voltage. Only a qualified electrician should carry out
the electrical installation. Improper installation of the motor or the MVE may cause equipment failure, serious injury or
death. Follow this manual and local electrical safety codes.
SHORT CIRCUIT
The MVE is not short circuit proof. After severe overload or short circuit, the operation of the MVE should be fully tested
by an authorised service agent.
GROUNDING AND BRANCH CIRCUIT PROTECTION
It is the responsibility of the user or person installing the MVE to provide proper grounding and branch circuit
protection according to local electrical safety codes.
ARC FLASH HAZARD
Medium voltage equipment has a potential risk of arc flash. When insulation or isolation between electrified
conductors is breached or can no longer withstand the applied voltage, a short circuit occurs through the air. This may
cause a phase-to-ground and/or a phase-to-phase fault.
Although unlikely, arc fault can be caused by:
•Contamination in the insulation caused by deterioration over time
•Inadequate insulation system on cable terminals
•Overvoltage
•Incorrect protection coordination settings
•Overheating of the contact area, due to incorrect tightening of connections
•Introduction of foreign matter, including swarf, vermin, tools or maintenance equipment left in the starter
AuCom medium voltage equipment has been designed to mitigate an arc fault, however it is the responsibility of the
site engineer to ensure that personnel are protected from serious injury that may result from an arc fault.

3.3 Key Features
MVE soft starters offer several special functions to ensure ease of use and to provide optimal motor control in all environments
and applications.
•Customisable Protection
The MVE offers comprehensive protection to ensure safe operation of the motor and soft starter. The protection characteristics
can be customised extensively to match the exact requirements of the installation.
Use 4 Protection Settings on page 48 to set the conditions in which each protection mechanism will activate.
Example:
Use parameter 4C Undercurrent to set the level for an undercurrent trip and parameter 4D Undercurrent
Delay
to set a delay on the trip.
Use 16 Protection Action on page 60 to select the soft starter's response when a protection mechanism
activates. Each protection can be set to trip the starter, activate a warning flag, or be ignored. All protection
activations are recorded in the event log, regardless of the protection class setting.
Example:
Use parameter 16C Undercurrent to select the response for an undercurrent trip (trip, warn or write to log).
The default response is trip.
NOTE
MVE soft starters have built-in trip points to ensure operation remains within the soft starter's capability. These
internal trips cannot be overridden. Certain faults within the MVE will also prevent the soft starter from operating.
Refer to
Troubleshooting on page 66 for details.
•Advanced Thermal Modelling
Intelligent thermal modelling allows the soft starter to predict whether the motor can successfully complete a start. The MVE uses
information from previous starts to calculate the motor's available thermal capacity, and will only permit a start which is predicted
to succeed.
This feature can be enabled or disabled using parameter 4N Motor Temperature Check .
•Comprehensive Event and Trip Logging
The MVE has a 99-place event log to record information on soft starter operation. A separate trip log stores detailed information
about the last eight trips. Refer to
Starter Trip and Event Logger Software on page 7 for details. For further information, or to
download the software, visit www.aucom.com.
•Informative Feedback Screens
A digital display screen allows the MVE to display important information clearly. Comprehensive metering information, details of
starter status and last start performance allow easy monitoring of the starter's performance at all times.
•Dual Parameter Set
The MVE can be programmed with two separate sets of operating parameters. This allows the soft starter to control the motor in
two different starting and stopping configurations.
The secondary motor settings (parameter groups 9 and 10) are ideal for conventional (squirrel-cage) motors which may start in
two different conditions (such as loaded and unloaded conveyors).
NOTE
The MVE is not suitable for controlling two separate motors. The secondary parameter set should only be used for a
secondary configuration of the primary motor.
The MVE will use the secondary motor settings to control a start when instructed via a programmable input (refer to parameters
6A and 6F,
Input A or B Function ).
•Fibre-Optics
The MVE uses two-line fibre-optic connections between the low voltage and high voltage zones for electrical isolation. This
fibre-optic link simplifies installation of chassis mount MVE starters into custom panels.

•Installing Communication Modules
Communication modules attach to the back of the controller:
LV motor test resistor assembly
LV motor test resistor assemblies are used for low voltage motor testing. They reduce the resistance across a phase arm,
increasing the strength of the non-conduction feedback signals. For more information, refer to Low Voltage Test Mode.
Starter Trip and Event Logger Software
The Starter Trip and Event Logger Software allows you to download the trip and event logs from the soft starter, for separate
analysis.
The software is compatible with all AuCom medium voltage soft starters using control software version 1.29 or later.
To use the Starter Trip and Event Logger Software with the MVE, the soft starter must be fitted with a USB Module (PIM-USB-01)
or a Modbus Module (PIM-MB-01).
