Operation
Chapter 8 Operation
The best effect can be achieved by selecting the soft start method which can directly control the most important application
parameters. Soft starters are usually used to limit motor starting current or to control load acceleration and / or deceleration.
The soft starter can be set to constant current or adaptive control.
Control Use
Motor Starting Current Constant Current
Motor / Load Acceleration Adaptive Control
19
Operation
Constant current
Constant current is the traditional soft start mode, which increases the current from zero to the specified current, and then
remains unchanged until the motor accelerates.
Constant current starting is suitable for applications where the starting current must be controlled below a certain level.

Adaptive start control
In the soft start mode of adaptive control, the soft starter will adjust the current so that the motor can start with the selected
acceleration curve within a specified time.
Look out
The speed of adaptive control starting motor can not be faster than that of direct starting mode.
If the starting ramp time (parameter 2b) is shorter than the direct starting time of the motor, the starting
current may reach the direct starting current level.
Each application has a specific starting curve based on load characteristics and motor characteristics. Adaptive control provides
three different starting curves, which can meet different application requirements. The selection of the curve matching with the
application of the inherent curve will help to make the acceleration process smooth in the whole starting time.
If the adaptive control curve with great difference is selected, the control effect of the inherent curve will be greatly affected.
The soft starter monitors the motor performance every time it starts the motor, so as to improve the soft start control in the future.
● adaptive control
Using adaptive control to control the starting performance:
1. Select adaptive control (parameter 2a) on the start mode menu
2. Set the desired starting ramp time (parameter 2b)
3. Select the desired adaptive starting curve (parameter 2e)
4. Set the starting current limit (parameter 2D) large enough to start successfully. The first adaptive control start is constant
current start. In this way, the soft starter can understand the characteristics of the connected motor. In the subsequent adaptive
control starting process, the soft starter uses this motor data.

Look out
Adaptive control can control the speed curve of the motor in the programmed time range.
This may result in a larger current than traditional control methods.
Jump start
Jump start provides additional torque for a short time at the start of starting, which can be used with current ramp starting or
constant current starting.
Jump starting helps to start loads that require a minimum starting torque but are easy to accelerate later
(e.g. flywheel loads such as calenders).

Adaptive stop control
In the soft stop mode of adaptive control, the soft starter controls the current to make the motor stop using the selected
deceleration curve within the specified time. Adaptive control can be used to extend the stop time of low inertia load.
Each application has a specific stop curve based on load characteristics and motor characteristics. Adaptive control provides
three different stop curves. Select the adaptive control curve that can best meet the application requirements.
Be careful
The adaptive control does not let the motor decelerate rapidly, and the motor stop speed is not faster than the sliding
stop. To shorten the stop time of the large inertia load, use the brake operation.
Look out
Adaptive control can control the speed curve of the motor in the programmed time range. This may result in a larger
current than traditional control methods.
adaptive control
Use adaptive control to control stop performance:
1. Select adaptive control (parameter 2H) on the stop mode menu

Operation
The first adaptive control stop is the normal soft stop. In this way, the soft starter can understand the characteristics of the
connected motor. This motor data is used by the soft starter during subsequent adaptive control stops.
Be careful
Adaptive control controls the load according to the programmed curve. The stop current varies with the selected
deceleration curve and stop time.
If a motor connected to a soft starter programmed with adaptive control to start or stop is replaced, or the starter is tested
on a different motor before it is actually installed, the starter must learn the characteristics of the new motor. If parameter
1A motor rated current or parameter 2K adaptive control gain is changed, the soft starter automatically re understands the
motor characteristics.
Pump stop
The hydraulic characteristics of pumping system are quite different. This difference means that different deceleration
curves and stop times are used for different applications. The following table provides the selection principles for the
adaptive control deceleration curve, but we recommend that you test three curves to determine the best curve for the
application.
Adaptive stop curve Application
After deceleration Even if the motor / water pump speed decreases a little, it will lead to a high head system with fast
switching of forward flow and reverse flow.
Constant deceleration The application of medium and low head and large flow with large liquid momentum.
Early deceleration An open pumping system in which the liquid must return through the pump but the pump does not reverse.
Braking
Braking can shorten the motor stop time.
During braking, the motor can be heard to make more noise. This is a normal motor braking phenomenon.
After selecting the brake, the soft starter will use dc injection method to slow down the motor.
Soft starter brake:
● DC braking contactor is not required.
● control all three phases to evenly distribute the braking current and corresponding heating in the motor.
Look out
If the braking torque is set too high, the motor stops before the end of the braking time, and the motor generates
too much heat, which may cause motor damage. Brake torque must be carefully configured to ensure safe
operation of the starter and motor.
When the motor stops, the peak current of the direct starting motor will appear due to too much braking torque
setting. Make sure that the fuse installed in the branch circuit of the motor is correctly selected.
Look out
The brake operation makes the heating speed of the motor faster than that calculated by the thermal protection
model of the motor.
If brake operation is used, install a motor thermistor or set a restart delay long enough (parameter 4m).
Braking is divided into two stages:
● pre braking: moderate braking to reduce the motor speed to the point where full braking can be successfully carried out
(about 70% of the speed).
● full braking: provide the maximum braking torque, but the effect is not good when the speed exceeds about 70%.
Equipped with soft starter for braking operation:
1. Set the desired stop time length (1) for parameter 2I. This is the total braking time, which must be set to be more than the
braking time (parameter 2m)For a long time, in order to reduce the motor speed to about 70% before braking. If the stop
time is too short and the motor fails to brake successfully, the motor will Taxi stop.
2. Set the braking time (parameter 2m) to about a quarter of the programmed stop time. This is the time of the full braking period (2).
3. Adjust the braking torque (parameter 2L) to achieve the desired stopping performance. If the setting is too small, the motor
can not stop stably, but will be closed during the braking period After bunching, taxiing stops.

Operation
Be careful
When using DC braking, the power supply and soft starter (input terminals L1, L2, L3) must be connected in
positive phase sequence, and the parameter 4G phase sequence must be set to positive.
Be careful
If the load may change during braking, install a zero speed sensor to ensure that the soft starter stops DC braking
when the motor stops.
This can avoid unnecessary heating of the motor.
For details on how to use a soft starter with an external speed sensor (for example, in applications where the load
changes during braking), see DC braking with an external zero speed sensor on page 57.
Look out
Low speed operation makes the cooling effect of motor decrease, so it is not suitable for continuous
operation mode.
Inching operation makes the heating speed of the motor faster than that calculated by the thermal
protection model of the motor. If inching operation is used, install - a motor thermistor, or set a restart
delay long enough (parameter 4m).
Be careful
Soft start and soft stop cannot be used during inching operation.
Inching is only applicable to group motor. For a detailed understanding of the -- group motor settings and
the second group motor settings, refer to the second group motor settings.
For different motor models, the maximum forward inching torque is about 50% - 75% of the rated torque
(FLT). The torque of motor reverse inching is about 25% to 50% of rated torque.
Valuepoint 15E the ratio of the torque applied to the motor by the inching torque control to the maximum
inching torque of the soft starter.
Be careful
If parameter 15E is set above 50%, shaft vibration may be increased.

To activate the jog operation, you can use the programmable inputs (see parameters 6a and 6F [only operate in remote control
mode]), or you can use the shortcut keys (parameters 8b and 8C).
If the jog command is still valid, start the jog again after the end of the restart delay. During the jog operation, all commands
except the above are ignored.
24
Operation
The triangle (six wire) connection method does not support adaptive control, inching, braking and two-phase control functions.
If these functions are programmed when the starter is connected by the triangle connection method, the control characteristics
are as follows:
Be careful
If the triangle connection method is adopted, the current unbalance protection is the only phase loss protection during
operation. Do not disable the current unbalance protection (parameter 4h) when the delta connection method is used.
Be careful
If delta connection method is adopted, input the rated current of motor with parameter 1A. The soft starter automatically
detects whether the motor is connected by the star connection method or the triangle connection method, and calculates
the correct current of the triangle connection.

the soft starter starts (if not already running) and continues to work until the end of
emergency running, ignoring stop commands and trips. Emergency operation is controlled
by programmable parameters.
Attention
It is not recommended to use emergency operation continuously. Emergency operation may damage the
life of the starter because all protections and trips are disabled.
Using the starter in emergency operation mode will void the product warranty.
15D—Short-circuit thyristor action
Options: Three-phase control only (default)
Two-phase control
Explain: Select whether the soft starter allows two-phase control. For critical applications, if one
phase of the soft starter is damaged, the soft starter is allowed to use two-phase control
to control the motor. Two-phase control can only be used after the soft starter has tripped
and reset due to "Lx-Tx short circuit".
Attention
Two-phase control can adopt two-phase soft-start technology, so special care must be taken when
determining the specifications of the circuit breaker and protection. Contact your local supplier
for assistance.
Attention
Only motors connected by star connection support two-phase control. If the soft starter is connected
using a delta connection method, two-phase control does not work.
The next time the control power is applied, the starter will trip due to an Lx-Tx short circuit. If the control
power is turned on again between two starts, the two-phase control does not work.

Application example
10.5 DC Braking With External Zero Speed Sensor
If the load may change during braking, the advantage of using an external zero speed sensor is that the soft starter brake can be
turned off. This control method ensures that the soft starter brake is always turned off after the motor is stationary, thereby
avoiding unnecessary motor heating.
The following schematic shows how to use the zero speed sensor with a soft starter to turn off the braking function when the
motor is stopped. The zero speed sensor (A2) is often called the underspeed detector. Its internal contacts open at zero speed
and close when the speed is greater than zero. When the motor reaches the stop state, C53, C54 will be disconnected and the
starter will be disabled. After the next start command is issued (ie the next application of Ka1), C53, C54 are closed and the
soft starter is enabled.
The soft starter must work in remote mode. Parameter 6A input A function must be set to disable the starter.
Attention
If the braking torque is set too large, the motor will stop before the braking time is over, and the motor
generates excessive heat, which may cause damage to the motor. The braking torque must be carefully
configured to ensure the safe operation of the starter and motor.
Setting the braking torque too large will cause the peak current to start directly when the motor is stopped.
Make sure that the fuses installed in the motor branch circuit are correctly selected.
Attention
The braking operation caused the motor to heat faster than the speed calculated using the motor thermal
protection model. If using brake operation, install a motor thermistor or set a sufficiently long restart
delay (parameter 4M).

10.6 Soft Braking
For large inertia load applications and / or variable load applications, a soft starter can be configured for soft braking.
In this application, soft starters are used with forward and brake contactors. When the soft starter receives the start signal (button
S1), close the forward rotation
Contactor (KM1), set control motor according to the programmed group motor.
When the soft starter receives the stop signal (button S2), open the forward contactor (KM1), and close the brake contactor (KM2)
after a delay of about 2-3 seconds (kt1).
The KA3 is also closed to activate the second set of motor settings programmed by the user for the desired stop performance
characteristics.
When the motor speed is close to zero, the zero speed sensor (A2) stops the soft starter and disconnects the brake contactor (KM2).

* The KT3 timer is required only if the zero-speed sensor is a relay type that performs a self-test after power-on and then
immediately disconnects the output.
parameter settings:
● Parameter 6A input A function. (Terminals C53, C54)
● Select "Motor parameter selection"-specify input A for motor parameter selection.
● Use the first group of motor parameters to set the starting performance characteristics.
● Use the second set of motor settings to set the braking performance characteristics.
● Parameter 7G relay C function
● Select "Trip"-specify the trip function for relay output C.
Note
If the soft starter trips due to the power frequency (parameter 16F frequency) when the brake
contactor KM2 is opened, modify the frequency protection setting.
54
Application example
High-speed contactor (Km1), low-speed contactor (KM2) and star contactor (KM3) can be used, and a soft starter
can be configured for two-speed Dahlander motor control.
Be careful
Pole amplitude modulation (PAM) motors use external winding configuration to effectively change the
rotor frequency, thus changing the speed. Soft starters are not suitable for use with such two speed motors.
When the soft starter receives the high-speed start signal, close the high-speed contactor (KM1) and star contactor (Km3), and
then set the control motor according to the first group of motors.
When the soft starter receives the low speed start signal, close the low speed contactor (km2). Input a is closed and the soft starter
sets the control motor according to the second set of motors.

Debugging
1. Configure the soft starter as follows:
Parameter setting: parameter 7d relay B function
Select 'change over contactor'
● parameter 7e relay B open delay
Set this parameter to the maximum time (5 minutes: 00 seconds).
● parameter 12a motor data 1 ramp
Select 'double slope' (for slip ring induction motor control)
● parameter 12C conversion time
The default setting is 150 milliseconds. Set this value to a value greater than the phase closing time of the
change-over contactor (KM1).
● valuepoint 12D slip ring reduction
The default setting is 50%. Set this parameter large enough to allow the motor to accelerate immediately
after the rotor resistance (R1) is bypassed, if set Small enough to avoid motor current pulse.
2. Start the motor under normal load and record the time required for the motor to reach a constant speed when the circuit has
external rotor resistance (R1).
Stop the motor as soon as it reaches a constant speed. Change parameter 7e to the recorded time value.
56
Application example
3. Start the motor under normal load conditions and monitor the speed characteristics and motor current of the motor after the
switching contactor (KM1) is switched and the stator resistance (R1) is shorted.
If the motor does not accelerate immediately after the conversion, increase the setting of parameter 12D.
If the motor current changes abruptly after the conversion, the setting of parameter 12D needs to be reduced.
