7.1.2 Starting by Current Limit
(P202=1)
1) To start the motor with a current limit you must apply a load to the
motor. No-load tests can be done by voltage ramp;
2) Set P102 to the time required for the start. At first set short times,
20s to 25s. This time will be used as the blocked rotor time, when
the motor is unable to start;
3) Set P110 with Current Limit by considering its electrical installation
and ensuring sufficient torque for the motor start. Initially you can
set 2x to 3x the nominal motor current (In of the motor).

- Starting by constant current limit
NOTES!
1) If the current limit is not reached during the starting, the motor will
reach nominal speed immediately;
2) P401 must be set according to the current of the used motor;
3) A low Current Limit results in too low torque for the motor start.
Always mantain the motor running after it has been enabled;
4) For loads requiring a higher initial starting torque, you can use the
kick start function, P520, or the current ramp;
5) If errors are detected during the motor start, check all connections
of the Soft-Starter to the power line, the motor connections, the
voltage levels of the power line, the fuses, circuit-breakers and
disconnecting switches.
