FOR SYMCOM’S MOTORSAVER
MODEL 460
The Model 460 MotorSaver
is an auto ranging voltage monitor designed to
protect three-phase motors regardless of size. The MotorSaver
is used on
190-480 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz motors to protect from damage caused by single
phasing, low voltage, high voltage, phase reversal, and voltage unbalance.
CONNECTIONS
1. Mount the MotorSaver
in a convenient location in or near the motor
control panel. If the location is wet or dusty, the MotorSaver
should
be mounted in a NEMA 4 or 12 enclosure. The MotorSaver
can be
mounted to a back panel using two #6 or #8 x 5/8 screws or can be
snapped onto a DIN rail.
2. Connect L1, L2 and L3 on the MotorSaver’s terminal strip to the LINE SIDE
of the motor starter. (See Figure No. 1).
3. Connect the output relay to the circuitry to be controlled. For motor control,
connect the normally open contact in series with the magnetic coil of the
motor starter as shown in Figure No. 1. For alarm operation, connect the
normally closed contact in series with the control circuit as shown in Figure
No. 2.

SETTINGS
1.
Line voltage adjustment: Rotate the
“VOLTAGE ADJ. (VAC)”
to the nominal
three-phase line voltage feeding the motor
to be protected.
2. Restart delay adjustment: Rotate the
“RESTART (SEC)”
adjustment to the
desired position. The restart delay is the
time between MotorSaver
seeing
acceptable voltage and the MotorSaver
closing its output contacts. For
compressor applications, the restart delay
should be set for the approximate time it
takes for the head pressure to bleed
off of the compressor. For other
applications, the restart delay is typically
set between 2 and 10 seconds.
3. Trip delay adjustment: Rotate the
“TRIP
DELAY (SEC)”
adjustment to the desired
setting. This adjustment does not affect the
trip delay on phasing faults. Typically, the
trip delay adjustment is set between 1 and 5
seconds. In areas where voltage uctuations are frequent, the trip delay
adjustment may be set greater than 10 seconds.
4. Voltage unbalance adjustment: Rotate the
“UNBALANCE TRIP (NEMA%)”
adjustment to the desired unbalance trip level. The NEMA MG1 standard
does not recommend operating a motor above 1% voltage unbalance without
derating
derating
the motor. The NEMA MG1 standard also recommends against
operating a motor above a 5% voltage unbalance under any circumstances.
SymCom recommends consulting the motor manufacturer for speci c
tolerances.

Percent Unbalance = Maximum Deviation from the Average
Average x 100
Example: The measured line-to-line voltages are 203, 210, and 212.
Average = 203 + 210 + 212
3= 208.3
The maximum deviation from the average is the largest difference
between the average voltage (208.3) and any one voltage reading.
208.3 - 203 = 5.3 210 - 208.3 = 1.7 212 - 208.3 = 3.7
The maximum deviation from the average is 5.3.

208.3 x 100 = 2.5% Unbalance

power to the motor. The MotorSaver’s green RUN light will blink
during the RESTART delay. After the RESTART delay, the MotorSaver

energize its output contacts and the green RUN light will illuminate. If the contacts
do not energize and the RUN light does not illuminate, see the

SOLUTION
No lights are on.
The unit seems
completely dead.
N / A
Measure the three line-to-line voltages. If
any of the voltages are below 150 VAC, the
MotorSaver
does not have enough power
to operate its internal electronics. This
may occur on a single-phased system. If
the voltages are correct, call SymCom at
1-800-843-8848 or 1-605-348-5580.
Red light is
blinking (on initial
power up).
Turn off the three-phase power. Swap any
two leads powering the MotorSaver
(L1,
L2, or L3). There is a 50-50 chance of
connecting L1, L2, and L3 correctly the rst
time. Re-apply the three-phase power.
Red light is
blinking (after the
motor has been
previously
running).
The incoming lines have been reverse
phased. The MotorSaver
is preventing
the motor from running backwards. Correct
the phase sequence.
Red light is
blinking in this
pattern.
The voltage is unbalanced or
single-phased. Measure the incoming line
voltages and calculate the % unbalance. If
the voltage unbalance does not exceed the
% unbalance reset value, call SymCom at
1-800-843-8848 or 1-605-348-5580.
Red light is on
steady.
The voltage is out of tolerance. Measure
the three line-to-line voltages. Calculate
the average of the three voltages. If the
average is 7% above or below the nominal
voltage as selected by the LINE VOLTAGE
ADJUST, the MotorSaver
is functioning
properly. If the voltage is within ±7% of the
selected line voltage, call SymCom at
1-800-843-8848 or 1-605-348-5580.
Green light blinks
and motor is not
running.
The MotorSaver
is in restart delay.
Green light is on
steady, but motor
does not start.
The MotorSaver
is in run mode. Ensure
other control devices are allowing the
motor to start. Check control circuit for
loose wires or malfunctioning switches.
