2.3.9.
Frequent start protection (66)
NOTE!
This function is available only in motor protection mode.
The simplest way to start an asynchronous motor is just to
switch the stator windings to the supply voltages. However
every such start will heat up the motor considerably because
the initial currents are significantly above the rated current.
If the motor manufacturer has defined the maximum number of
starts within on hour or/and the minimum time between two
consecutive starts this stage is easy to apply to prevent too
frequent starts.
When current has been less that I
stop
and then exceeds I
StartMin
the situation is recognized as a start. The maximum current for
a stopped motor I
stop
is 10 % x I
mot
. The minimum current for a
just started motor I
StartMin
is 150 % x I
mot
.
