Commissioning
1. Open the door by unlocking the
locks
2. Before switching ON, re-check
external connections.
3. Set Overload relay to 0.58 times the
rated motor current.
4. Set the dial of the Timer to an
approx. value of starting time of
Motor(preferablymorethan6secs)
A. Star-delta Timer setting
1. First Start the motor by pressing
Green push button, marked "I"
2. Measure time taken for it to reach
nearly rated speed or steady state
current(indicatedwhenmotorhum
reachesasteadypitch)
3. Stop the Motor, set Timer to this
measured value, by rotating the
Timer dial.
B. Relay Settings
1. For Closer protection set the
Overload Relay to the phase current
as measured by an ammeter.
2. In absence of Ammeter, use
procedure as given below:
a) Startthemotorandletitrun
for half an hour. Then gradually
reduce relay setting till it trips.
Set Relay at a slightly higher
value of this setting.
b) Allowresettimeofapprox.4
min. Press the blue knob on the
relay completely to reset the
relay.
c) Re-startmotoraftersome
time. If the relay does not trip,
consider it to be properly set. If it
trips follow step b with setting at
little higher value and recheck.
d) Overloadrelaycharacteristics
given below can be used to
estimate the average tripping
time at different multiples of set
current.
Caution:
1. Switch OFF the Starter, and
disconnect the main supply by
switching OFF the main switch
before doing any maintenance.
2. Under No Circumstances should
the Relay be set higher than phase
current i.e.. 0.58 times the rated
current on the motor nameplate.
3. If the Relay trip even when set
at the rated Motor current, the
suitability of the starter or relay for
the particular application should be
checked with the nearest Siemens
ofce.
4. Refer Table 1 for the Motor current
corresponding to the Motor rating.
