Reduce the load on the motor during acceleration.  Total motor load during 

this period is the sum of the accelerating torque plus load torque.  Once 

motor is up to speed the load can be reapplied. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Inverter-to-Bypass Delay

 

The AF 600 FP bypass panels come standard with manual bypass functionality 
only.  This requires an operator to manually transition power from the drive to 

the AC line via the Drive/Off/Bypass selector switch in the event of a drive fault.  

When transitioning power to the motor from “Drive” to “Bypass” the operator 

must place the switch in the “Off” position for a minimal of 10 seconds. This 

delay is to allow for the motor’s rotor flux to decay prior to applying direct AC 

line power, which would be out of sync and phase with the flux, resulting in a 

potentially damaging current and torque pulsation.  Typically a delay of three 

motor AC time constants will be adequate to ensure that the flux has decayed 

to a low enough level to apply AC line power.  An induction motor’s open circuit 

AC time constant is dependent on a number of factors including horsepower 

rating and number of poles.  Generally speaking the time constant increases as 

HP goes up and as the number of poles go down. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If your bypass panel was ordered with the optional automatic bypass 

functionality, the time delay required when transitioning between drive and 

bypass has been designed into the panels control logic.  For panels rated 30Hp 
and below at 208 VAC plus 75Hp and below at 460 VAC & 575 VAC a 

C-2000™

 

electronic timer mounted on top of the bypass contactor (M3).  This timer is 

factory set for a 5-second delay and can be easily adjusted via a small flat 

blade screwdriver.  For panels greater than 30Hp at 208 VAC and greater than 

75Hp at 460 VAC & 575 VAC a separately mounted time delay relay is provided 

to insert the required delay.  This timer is factory set for a 10-second delay and 

can be easily adjusted via manually turning the dial on the face of the relay.  If it 

is desired to change the delay setting when transitioning from drive to bypass 

mode then consult with the manufacturer of your motor and adjust the time 

delay accordingly.

WARNING:  The overload relay should not be turned to a higher setting 
than allowed by the rules above to allow starting the motor across the 
line without tripping.  Doing so will compromise the overload protection 
which could lead to component damage or fire which could threaten 
personnel safety.  Refer to NEC for further information. 

CAUTION:

  Failure to insert enough time delay between operation of the 

motor from the inverter and operation across-the-line can result in a 

devastating torque pulse which can damage your motor, driven load and/or 

installation.  The AF 600 FP drive does not have a line synchronizing function 

to permit a smooth switchover to AC line power, therefore the time delay is 

the only way to ensure a safe transition.
