 Soft Starter Pocket Guide

Thermal capacity, also called “maximum locked rotor time” or 
“maximum DOL start time”, describes the maximum time a motor 
can run at locked rotor current from cold. This information is usually 
available from the motor datasheet.

The MCD202 and MCD3000 overload protection can be set to match 
the motors thermal capability using the motors locked rotor time 
(cold).

Motor thermal capacity: What is it?
