General
The new SCANDO 650 hoists are construction hoists for
personnel and materials transport. Two car base structures
can be combined with different gate units and extensions to a
number of different car lengths up to maximum 4.6 m (15- 1).
Car width 1.5 m (4- 11) is fixed.
The car, as well as the ground enclosures doors/gates, can be
positioned on any of the three sides away from mast.

The hoists have a lifting capacity of maximum 3200 kg


(7100 lbs.) up to a lifting height of 200 m (650 ft.).
Lifting speed is 38 m/min. (125 fpm.).
alt. 42, 54 or maximum 65 m/min. (135 , 175 or 215 fpm.)
with VFC-operation.
The SCANDO 650 construction hoist can be set up with
single or dual cars.
The hoist is easily transported by truck, to and from the
erection site and handled with forklift trucks or jib cranes on
the site.
The SCANDO 650 construction hoist is a part of the
SCANDO 650 access system and can be combined with
other products, i.e. platforms or materials hoists.

Regulations

A6 Car
The car is sized to be suitable for ease of transport and is
constructed of high quality steel for strength and weight
reduction. The car walls are constructed of perforated steel
sheeting allowing light to enter and also give the operator a
clear view of the hoistway.
Individually adjustable ball bearing mounted guide roller
assemblies guide the car on the mast.
Car consists of multi layer built-up car floor with fire resistant
plastic material on galvanized steel sheet and aluminium
checker plate on top. The car roof is constructed of aluminium
checker plate.
The car has mechanically locked and electrically monitored
Car exit door in two parts vertical guided entrance and exit doors.
The doors are modular for flexibility and in the SCANDO 650
access program, 4 different car doors are available. The
lightweight moving door blades consist of aluminium profiles
for ease of operation.
Normally the exit door is manufactured in two parts whereas the
entrance door is in one part. (The entrance door is the one
facing the door of the ground enclosure).
The exit door can also be combined with a folding load ramp in

3.2 m (10- 6) wide full height entrance door with C-side
location for the 3.5 m car base structure. Doors of C-location
are always of type vertical sliding.

Note: If a 3rd car door is to be added after a while, the ALC II


floor call selecting system must be accomplished with an ALC
II expanding unit if this floor call selecting system occurs.

As the car roof serves as working platform during erection, it is


provided with safety railing. There is also a trapdoor in the roof
and a ladder in the car to gain entry to the roof for erection
purposes.

Asymmetrical car configuration


The car length on each side of the mast shall be equal, if
possible. The difference may only be one extension section of
0.35 m (1- 1 3/4).
Although the hoist is asymmetrical it should be considered
symmetrical and the longer end dictating the maximum
allowable load.

ALIMAK 34746 - 1/01


Drive unit
A9
A compact unit with two or three pinions engages the rack of
the mast. Each pinion is fitted to a high efficiency helical gear
box driven by a flexible coupling, by a direct start or frequency
controlled, squirrel cage induction motor with built-in electro-
magnetic disc brake.
The drive unit is connected to the car by pull rods.
The connection between car and drive unit means that the hoist
is prepared for an overload sensing system. (OSS).

Pulse encoder
on gearbox

The safety device is completely independent from the drive unit


and installed inside the car with two pinions engaging the rack.
The device is actuated by a centrifugal weight and stops the
hoist when the normal rated speed is exceeded.

FC vs DOL
Frequency controlled electric motors give:
better (softer) riding comfort when starting and stopping.
better stopping accuracy.
less brake wear.
hoist speed can be reduced during installation and inspection
procedures, which is not possible with direct on line (DOL)
started electric motors.

ALIMAK 34747 - 1/01


A 10
Cable guiding device
A 11
Type cable collecting basket
The trailing cable is coiled into a basket. U-shaped guides with
plastic springs along the hoistway guide the trailing power cable
between the cable collecting basket at ground level and the
cable attachment on the car.

Type cable trolley on separate guide rail


To be able to control the cables and to overcome the voltage
drop in the power cable at high lifting heights, the power cable
and control cable are fixed firmly to the mast from ground level
to a junction box in the mast halfway to the mast top.
The trailing power cable and the control cable from the junction
box to the cable brackets on the car are tensioned by cable
trollies. The cable trollies travel on a separate guide rail
attached close to the mast from ground level to a point halfway
to the mast top.
Differential expansion/contraction of the power and control
cable requires that the two trollies are not mechanically attached
to each other.
The method described above is also used for hoist installations
in harsh surroundings with highwinds, low temperature etc.

ALIMAK 34749 - 1/01


A 12 Control system
Four different systems are available:
a) Operator control system without self holding contactors
For DOL hoist only.
Operation from the car only by means of a joy-stick for
travel up and down.
The system is automatic, i.e. the car stops as soon as
the joy-stick has been released (dead man type control).

b) Operator control system with self holding contactors


For DOL hoist only.
Operation from the car only by means of a joy-stick and a
additional Stop Next Landing push-button.

d 74

When the hoist approaches the desired landing, the button


Stop Next Landing is pressed. The hoist will then stop
automatically at the landing.

ALIMAK Lift Control, ALC for DOL and FC operation


The ALC is a microprocessor based control with a main
soft-ware and two different control systems available:
Semi-Automatic control system and Collective control system
c) Semi-Automatic control system
This is a common control system but now developed to
work without any landing cams. The position of the hoist is
determined by counting impulses generated by the pulse
encoder attached to the gear box.
The machine can be operated from inside the hoist and if
chosen, also from the landings by using Up, Down and
Stop Next Landing push-buttons.
By pressing a button for up or down, the hoist starts
travelling in the chosen direction. When the hoist
approaches the desired landing, the button Stop Next
Landing is pressed. The hoist will then stop automati-
cally at the landing.

Calls/destinations from the landings transmit on three


230VAC control wires between the hoist and the landings
Push-buttons at ground landing through the base panel. A destination order from the hoist
has three seconds priority over landing calls.

ALIMAK 34750 - 1/06


A 13
d) Collective control system
This is an advanced control system available in the ALC
controller. The machine can be operated from inside the
hoist by destination push-buttons or a keypad and if
chosen, also called from the landings.

a 143

Each landing is provided with two Call buttons, one for


Up and Down resp.

Push-button panels at landings

The actual position and the hoist destination is shown on


displays inside the car. On these displays a fault indica-
tion is given.

For more detailed information regarding the ALC II


system and corresponding landing equipment, refer
to separate manual P/N 9081541-107.

ALIMAK 34751 - 1/06


A 14 Landing equipment
In the SCANDO access system mechanically and electrically
interlocked double-leaf swing doors are included. Or mecha-
nically locked and electrically monitored horizontal sliding
gates at the landings.
The landing equipment can be installed by connecting
them to special brackets at the landings, in openings,
on projections or facade scaffoldings. It can also be
installed on vertical scaffold pipes parallel to the mast
from the ground enclosure to the mast top.
The electric interlocking of the landing equipment is
connected to the control system of the hoist (stop
circuit).
The landing el. equipment consists of a stainless
steel box with necessary control push-buttons for
calling the hoist. Connection cable as well as limit
switch or electromechanical locks for monitoring of
the landing door or alternatively the landing gate.
The equipment is provided with a 6-pole socket outlet
and plug on the connection cable in order to achieve a
quick, secure and proper connection to the control system
of the hoist. 10-pole socket outlet and plug alternately,
where ALC floor call selecting system occurs.
The electric equipment is delivered with connection cable in
lengths of 7 or 15 meter (23 or 49 ft.).

Included electric material is of protection class IP 54 or higher.

ALIMAK 34753 - 1/03


A 16 Safety equipment
Automatic stop at top and bottom landings
At top and bottom landings, limit cams are mounted on the
mast. These cams activate the limit switches, which auto-
matically stop the hoist. The functions for the Up and Down
limit switches are backed up by a final limit switch with its own
Final limit cams on the mast at top and bottom landings. This switch
switch up provides interruption of the three-phase power supply and stops
& down the hoist should the normal limit switch fail.
Below the bottom landing level, close to the hoist mast, buffer
springs are located for the hoist car. The buffer is designed to
stop a descending hoist beyond its normal limit of travel.
Normal upper &
lower limit switch

Heels

Safety details on machinery plate


On the machinery and safety device plates, heels keep the pinion
of the machinery and safety device constantly engaged with the
rack on the hoist mast, in case a counter roller or a guide roller
on the car comes off.

Safety hooks
To prevent the hoist from climbing off the mast during erection
or dismantling, or to prevent the pinions from disengaging the
rack in case a counter roller or guide roller comes off, safety
hooks are mounted on the drive unit and on the car. The safety
hooks are placed underneath the drive pinion of the machinery,
preventing the hoist from falling off the mast should the drive
pinion run off the top rack.

ALIMAK 34754 - 1/01


A 17
Door interlocks on hoist and landing doors
Hoist doors/ramps and/or landing doors/bars are all electrically
interlocked. If any of the doors are unlocked or opened, the
hoist will not operate until the door is closed.
A mechanically interlocked car or landing door cannot be
opened unless the hoist has stopped at the respective landing.

Safety device
The hoist has a unique well proven safety device which
smoothly stops the hoist on the mast should normal
driving speed be exceeded.
The safety device has a shaft with a centrifugal
weight and a pinion constantly engaged with the
rack on the hoist mast. When the centrifugal
weight activates, the brake cone is screwed in
against a brake lining inside the safety housing.
The hoist is brought to a smooth stop, and
simultaneously the power to the drive motor is
cut off.
In case of guide roller failure there are separate
safety hooks provided which prevent the pinion of
the safety device from disengagement with the rack.

Phase failure relay


The electric equipment is protected by a phase failure relay,
which means that the hoist can only be driven when correct
phase sequence is connected.

ALIMAK 34755 - 1/01


A 18 Optional equipment
Optional centrifugal brake
When lowering by gravity in case of a power failure, a
centrifugal brake incorporated into the drive machinery will
maintain a constant speed preventing the car from reaching
governor tripping speed, and thereby activating the safety
device.

Another method is to reinforce with a 2nd mast tower.
A 23
A concrete slab on the ground is preferable for this type of
installation.

Example:
For a single 3.2 m (10- 6) car with allowable payload capacity
2000 kg (4400 lbs.) the maximum freestanding mast height of 30
meter (100 ft.) can be reached with 2nd mast tower 20 meter (60
ft.) in height;
Estimated concrete slab dimensions:
3.5 x 2.5 meter (11- 5 x 8- 5).
Concrete volume: 15 m3 (20 cu.yds).
Please contact Alimak Calculation Department for advice.

It may be desirable to connect three mast towers to each other.


This is a preferable method to achieve greater height to increase
the distance to the top tie. (On the Eiffel Tower Project in Paris
55 meter (180 ft.) was achieved). By increasing the number of
attached towers the overall hoist structure achieves greater
rigidity.

A concrete slab on the ground is preferable for this type of


installation.
Please contact Alimak Calculation Department for advice.

ALIMAK 34761 - 1/01


A 24 Optional lifting tool for use with on site cranes
The preferred method of assembling the lift system is the use of
a crane with sufficient lifting height.
3 5 mast sections (never exceeding the masts freestanding
capability) can be assembled lying on the ground before being
lifted to the mast top and assembled.
We recommend attaching the load according to the figure in
order to avoid driving the car to the top of the mast in order to
disconnect the load from the crane hook.

The users own protective measures


Protection at the landings
It is recommended that overhead protection is furnished at
landing entrances to protect against falling objects.

Scaffolds and other gangways close to the hoistway


Scaffolds and other gangways and platforms close to the hoist-
way shall be provided with enclosures according to local
regulations.

Illumination of landings
Adequate site lighting shall be provided to illuminate the
landings over the full height of travel of the hoist.

Landings erected at site


Tool P/N 9101281-000
Landings built on site shall be equipped with safety railings and
toe guards and shall meet applicable local regulations.
Each landing shall be designed for the maximum load of the
hoist.

Final commisioning test and verification


of equipment before delivery
The equipment is fully checked according to the directives
stated in EN 12159 para. 6.3, before delivery, to confirm
intended operation.
Safety device and device for deteckting overlad are tested with
full load and additional 25% overload.

ALIMAK 34762 - 1/05


Load signs
A 25
Load sign showing maximum load and maximum number of
passengers in the car, must be displayed inside the car and on
each landing, according to EN 12159.
The sign must be durable and with minimum 25 mm (1 in.)
height of the characters.
It is advisable to use hot seal laminating film for this purpose.
Data on load signs must be in accordance with technical data
and additional technical information on pages B1 B4 in this
manual.
Print your own load sign. Click here; Acrobat PDF
Note: It is possible to copy text and paste into your own word
processing program on your computer.

If car overload sensing device is used


Restrictions regarding allowable No. of passengers in the car
are dictated by applicable requirements in the EU Member
States and based on the average weight 80 kg (176 lbs.) and
space 0.2 m2 (2.15 sq.ft) intended for each and every person.
(The corresponding average weight is 90.7 kg (200 lbs.)
according to ANSI/ASME).
Use of the overload sensing device, installed and calibrated for
the hoist's maximum allowable payload capacity will sum up
the total weight of the passengers in the car for each and every
trip. No. of passengers in the car can then be more than
stipulated in EU norms due to the passenger's average weight.
Car payload 2400 kg (5290 lbs.) will give allowable no. of
passengers inside the car = 40 pcs., with estimated passenger
average weight 60 kg (132 lbs.).
Furthermore, the overload sensing device will handle the
passenger's personal equipment as well.

ALIMAK 34763A - 1/05


A 26 Sign inside the car showing specifications for the particular
installation
It is possible to write /erase the sign inside the car showing
specifications for the particular installation. The sign must be
filled in and signed by a person responsible for the entire hoist
installation.
The intention with showing this sign is to ensure personnel
using the hoist and inspectors from the responsible authorities
that the hoist is correctly installed according to the person
responsible for the entire hoist installation.

Foundation
G1
The hoist can be installed on a gravel bed, a concrete slab or in
some cases a foundation pit is required.
What way to go depends on the circumstances and the National
hoist regulations.

Concrete slab
A concrete slab is to be made according to the following instruc-
tions, and according to the actual model of hoist.
It is important that the mounting holes of the foundation frame
are brought in level with the completed concrete surface, and
that the concrete is vibrated thoroughly especially around the
foundation frame.
It is also important that the finished surface is plane and
horizontal.

Foundation frame:
part no. 9025 751-000 for mast

(2-1 5/8 x 2-1 5/8)
part no. 9021 586-000 for mast
section c/c 650 x 900
(2-1 5/8 x 2-11 7/16)

The foundation may be made in any of the following ways,


depending upon the finished concrete level compared with the
ground level.

A concrete slab level with the ground is the most common type
of foundation. A ramp up to the level of the sill is usually made
of fill, wood or steel.

Concrete slab below ground level


(1 - 3 3/4)

This alternative requires draining.

Min. 100 mm (4) gravel

IMPORTANT: Please note that the foundation must always be


isolated, or the surrounding soil prevented from freezing, if there
is a risk of frost heave.

ALIMAK 34785 - 1/01


Extra reinforcement of concrete slab
G3
for hoist with landing equipment on vertical pipe support

20 mm (.8 in)
The concrete slab must have additional reinforcement in order to
carry the extra load due to the vertical pipes, landing equipment
and the extra load, due to the landings (people, buggies, materials,
etc).
The extra reinforcement is only necessary within the areas shown
in the picture below. The layer of reinforcement should be placed g6

20 mm (.8 in.) below the upper edge of the slab.


Note that a concrete slab which forms part of a foundation pit
does not require this extra reinforcement.

The concrete must reach 70% of the required compressive
strength before the installation of the hoist may start.
This is usually obtained 7 days after placing the concrete.
If a shorter time is needed, higher strength concrete may be
used.

G6 Components for attachments of enclosure
For the attachment of the enclosure on the foundation we
recommend to use expansion bolts.
Please note that these items are not furnished with the hoist.

When extra safety space is required under the hoist


car at the bottom landing
Some local hoist regulations require an extra safety space under
the hoist car bottom landing. The same concrete slab as before
can be used provided that the enclosure front is raised according
to local hoist regulations.

G8 Concrete slab without foundation frame
In order to use a concrete slab without a foundation frame, the
following requirements must be met:
The procedures/specifications for preparing the concrete slab
will be the same ones used for preparing a concrete slab with
a foundation frame.
The base frame must be attached with expansion bolts that can
each withstand a pull-out force of at least:
Freestanding in service = 67 kN (15060 lbf.).
Freestanding during erection with load not exceeding
allowable erection load = 51 kN (11465 lbf.).
The expansion bolts should be mounted in the holes normally
used for attaching the base frame to the foundation frame.
Installation is prohibited when wind speeds are in excess of
15 m/sec. (33 mph).
The maximum height allowed for the first tie is 9 meters
(30 ft) provided that the reduced allowable erection load
1160 kg (2560 lbs.) is not exceeded.
The type of installation must be approved by the local gover-
ning authorities.

Transportable foundation
In order to use a transportable steel foundation, the following
requirements must be met:
The steel foundation must conform to all of Alimaks specifi-
cations. (These can be ordered separately from an Alimak
representative).
The type of installation must be approved by the local gover-
ning authorities.

ALIMAK 34791 - 1/06


Load on foundation
G9
The static load on the foundation consists of:
The payload of the hoist (x 2 for dual cars).
Base unit dead weight. [ For dual cars, add approx 2000 kg
(4400 lbs.)].
Counterweight if used (x 2 for dual cars).
Hoist mast dead weight.
Add 10% of the total for mast ties, power cable, and cable
guiding devices.
Add a further 25% of the total for vertical pipe support, if used.

The dynamic load on the foundation consists of:


100% impact (or according to local regulations) on the pay-
load and 2/3 of the base unit dead weight.

Example:

G 10 Ground pressure
Max. ground pressure under the concrete slabs is 0.15 MPa
(21.75 psi) provided that the foundation has been reinforced and
built up according to the given instructions.
Should the ground be able to stand higher pressures, it is possible
to increase the load on the foundation. Please contact ALIMAK
for information.
Examples of acceptable ground pressure according to SBN 1975
(Swedish Building Norms):
Moraine = 0.4 1.0 MPa (58 145 psi)
Fine sand = 0.2 MPa ( 29 psi)

The ground pressure due to the installation is calculated


according to the following formula:
Pv is the sum of the static and the dynamic load and the dead
weight of foundation in kN. Estimate approx. 24 kN/m3 for
concrete.
See Concrete slab dimensions for D, W and concrete volume.
D x W is the concrete slab surface in m2.

Projecting hoist mast
H1
Generally following selection process is used:
1. Type of mast section 3. Type of mast tie
2. Number of mast sections 4. Number of mast ties
Hoist model i.e. load capacity and speed are assumed to be
known.

1. Type of mast section


Determined by the capacity of the hoist and whether the mast
will be provided with one or dual cars as well as the lifting
height. See further information on following pages.

2. Number of mast sections Lh


Determined by required lifting height (Lh) = 1.508 meter and
the necessary number of extra mast sections depending on:

Whether the hoist will be installed on a concrete slab at ground


level.
without counterweight equipment = 3 extra mast sections.
with counterweight equipment = 4 extra mast sections.
Hoist car
Whether the hoist will be installed with an extended enclosure
or with a foundation pit below ground level. Counterweight
Mast
without counterweight equipment = 4 extra mast sections.
with counterweight equipment = 5 extra mast sections.

3. Type of mast ties Vertical pipes h1

Determined by whether there will be a single or dual car hoist


and whether counterweight equipment and/or vertical pipes will
be used. See table below:

The selection of ties depends also on the length of tie required tie distance.
For detailed specifications see heading Mast ties.

4. Numbers of mast ties


Determined by tie distance and overhang at various maximum
lifting height. See tables in the end of chapter.

ALIMAK 34796 - 1/01


H2 Mast sections
With the exception of one or two racks, with or without counter-
weight guide rail, there are mainly three different types of mast
sections available:
Standard mast with tube dimension:
76 x 4.2 mm (3x 11/64). (outer diameter x thickness)
Reinforced mast with tube dimension:
76 x 6.3 mm (3x 1/4).
76 x 8.0 mm (3x 5/16).
Suitable mast section dimension for each hoist in question and
actual lifting height is given in the tables at the end of this
chapter.

Mast sections of different tube dimension can be combined


As can be seen from the following tables this is only necessary
at extremely high lifting heights.
In such cases turn to Alimak Calculation Department who can
optimize the installation so that as few reinforced mast sections
as possible need to be used.

ALIMAK 34797 - 1/01


Identification
H3
In order to easily identify the mast sections with different tube
dimensions, the mast sections are colour-marked and weld marked
corresponding to wall thickness as indicated below.

Tube dimension Tube dimension Tube dimension


76 x 4.2 76 x 6.3 76 x 8.0

No marking Blue Yellow


No marking Weld marked 6 Weld marked 8

Between the mast sections with different tube dimensions transi-


tion sections are used. These are marked as follows:

Tube dimension Tube dimension


76 x 8.0 76 x 6.3 76 x 6.3 76 x 4.2

Blue No marking
Yellow Blue
Weld marked 8 6 Weld marked 6

IMPORTANT:
A transition section or a reinforced mast section must always be
used for connection against bottom frame.
A transition section must always be used between mast
sections with different tube thicknesses.
Reinforced mast sections must always be placed at the bottom
of a mast installation.

ALIMAK 34798 - 1/01


H4 Mast ties
The ties are usually mounted with anchoring details or with
bolts through bearing walls, e.g. archs, balconies, steel or
concrete beams. If you intend to use embedment anchorings,
these must be prepared well in advance before erection.
Note that the wall must always be dimensioned to take up the
reaction forces of the ties.

* Maximum allowed overhang during erection is 24.0 m (79 ft.), only if


installation proceeds from the car with maximum 1160 kg (2560 lbs.) load
in car ( 2 persons and additional 8 pcs mast sections ) and a wind speed
less than 12.5 m/s (28 mph).

IMPORTANT:
Placing of landings must be avoided at max. free top and
right between tie with long distances due to the deflection of
the mast. If this is not possible an extra tie should be instal-
led at the landing.
In cases where required lifting height exceeds the max.
allowable mast height, we kindly ask you to contact Alimak
for advice.

H 18 Attachment of ties
Wall bracket
The ties are attached to the building by bolts, washers and nuts
into the holes which are drilled at the installation or embedment
sets or other approved suitable wall bracket attachments.
Cast in place inserts must be installed prior to the hoist
installation in order for the concrete to cure properly and reach
its proper strength. Concrete must be of suitable strength for
calculated loads (See Reaction forces). Care must be taken in
locating the inserts at their proper location (See type of mast tie).
Reinforcement
If other type of bolt is used such as epoxy cast in bolt or
expansion bolt, it is important to choose an approved type
which can take the calculated force in this application with a
satisfactory safety factor.
Specifications for this type of attachment should follow the
manufacturers recommendations and be approved by the
governing authority for their use.

Preparations before installation
I1
To install your rack and pinion hoist as efficiently and safely as
possible and at lowest cost, it is important that the following
preparations are made before the erector is called and the
installation is started.
STOP

Permission
Make sure the chosen site of erection meets the requirements set
out by local authorities for safety and inspection and that their
permission, if necessary, to install the hoist has been obtained. i1

Erection place
Prepare the installation site so that electric power, light, lifting
equipment and tools are available and there is adequate access
for the lift transporter beware of overhead obstructions.
If possible, prepare for the installation of ties and landing
accessories such as supports, platforms and railing. Suitable
places for attaching the ties are vaults, balconies or other
concrete or steel structures. See applicable installation drawing.
Remember that these structures must be strong enough to absorb
the reaction forces of the ties and landing door assemblies.
All mast sections should be stored on dry firm ground and as
close to the erection place as possible.

Foundation
Prepare the foundation with parts required for fixing the base
frame of the mast. See chapter Foundation in the manual
Technical Description.

IMPORTANT! i2

Make sure before casting the foundation that the measurement


between the foundation frame and the face of the hoistway
corresponds to the ties to be used.

Delivery check-up Transportation

tation damage.
Should there be any damage, report the same to the responsible
transportation insurance company within 7 days from the date
of arrival of the goods.
Other claims should be made to ALIMAK representative within
i3
the same period.

ALIMAK 34733 - 1/01


I2 Arrangement of power supply
Direct On Line (DOL) starting of electric motors results in a very
high starting current. The current must overcome the resistance
in the cables which results in a voltage drop. This voltage drop
occurs not only in the trailing cables, but also in the power
supply cable installed between the jobsite distribution board and
the electric panel B at the base. The total voltage drop is the
sum of the voltage drop in all the cables. The consequence of
the voltage drop is a substantial reduction in the output torque
i4
of the motor.
In order to avoid starting problems it is of the utmost importance
that the main power supply is adequately sized with respect to
the starting current and the voltage drop. The following data
should be noted:
During starting conditions, in the upward direction with rated
load, the voltage drop must not exceed 15% of the rated
voltage when measured at the motor terminals. In the Base
panel, the voltage drop of the incoming power supply
terminals must not exceed 3% of the rated voltage during the
starting conditions.
Once the rated speed is established during upward travel with
rated load, the voltage drop must not exceed 5% of the rated
voltage when measured at the motor terminals. In the Base
panel, the incoming power supply voltage should, in practice,
not drop at all, i.e. not exceed 1 2 % drop.
Except for the above mentioned supply voltage levels
during start and running conditions, the quality of the
main power supply to the lift/hoist must be in accordance
with the requirements of EN 50160:1999.

Clients power supply


Supply cables to hoists with DOL or Y/D starting
The 3-phase power supply cable from the jobsite distribution
board to the B panel at the base can be calculated from the
formulas below. The formulas are applicable for the most common
types of hoists having 1 or 2 motor drive machinery with DOL-
starting at 400V, 50Hz and 460V, 60Hz.
Note: If an earth leakage circuit breaker, ELCB, (ground fault
circuit breaker) is to be used, the trip-out value should be
f4 chosen for equipment protection i.e. 500mA.
Use of 30mA ELCB is not recommended as it continuously
trips due to the motor starting current.

* In order to avoid single phasing should a main fuse blow, we strongly recommend the power supply to be fused
by means of a three-phase circuit breaker.

Supply cables to hoists and lifts with VFC


(Variable Frequency Converter)
The size of the power supply cable must always comply with
Rules and Regulations stipulated by the local Authority for
electrical installations. Customers power supply cable must
also be sized to ensure that the voltage drop in the Base panel
does not exceed 3% when starting with full load with the hoist
moving in the upward direction.
The size of the power supply cable can be calculated by follo-
wing formula:
a = L x P x 0.0056... ...where
a = Conductor area in mm2 copper
L = Length in m of the power supply cable from distribution
board to the Base panel

Voltage drop in the power supply
I5
Typical symptoms
The hoist will not start with the full rated load.
The brakes will not lift when starting in the Up-direction.
The contactors oscillate on and off (shatter) when starting
with full load in the Up-direction.
The contacts of the Up and the main contactors are damaged.

Steps to be taken to overcome a voltage drop problem


The best method to avoid any voltage drop problem is to make a
proper engineering review of the conditions at the job site
before installing the hoist. When installed, the options are
limited.However, should a situation occur where the power
supply seems to be insufficient, it is important to determine
whether this depends on the voltage drop in the power supply or
something else. Use an instrument to measure the incoming
power supply voltage in both the B-panel at the base and the M-
panel on/in the car. Take the readings during starting
conditions in theupward direction with rated load in the car. If
the voltage drop exceeds the values given above, one or more of
the following steps can be taken:
1. Increase the conductor size in the power supply cable from
the jobsite distribution board to the B-panel at base.
2. Increase the conductor size in the trailing power cables
between the Base panel and the car. Due to mechanical and
performance reasons, the conductors in the trailing cable
should not exceed 16 mm2.
The fixed cable to the junction box at 1/2 lifting height can
be increased in size.
3. Reduce the rated load.
4. Install a step-up transformer in the power supply in order to
increase the voltage.
Note! Motor windings must be adaptable to this higher
voltage. Otherwise the motor must be changed. To give the
best possible advantage, the step-up transformer should
preferably be located close to the jobsite distribution board.
5. Use some sort of soft start equipment.

If you have any questions regarding the power supply cables


or the trailing cables, please contact Alimak for advice.
