Description
An ABB 300/400-line full voltage magnetic
motor starter consists of a magnetic
contactor with a three-leg block overload
relay and a manually operated circuit
breaker or disconnect switch. The
disconnect switch may either be fusible
or non-fusible. The non-fusible disconnect
switch provides a means of manually
disconnecting the motor from the line.
The circuit breaker or fusible disconnect
switch provides motor branch short-
circuit protection. The overload relay
provides motor protection against
running and stalled motor overload.
The overload relay is provided with a
yellow trip indicator, located to the right
of the reset arm and visible when the
overload relay is tripped.
Features
1. Strongbox coil.
2. Overload relay, incorporates a dial
for ±10% field adjustment of tripping
current, so that it is no longer
necessary to change heaters to
eliminate such problems as nuisance
tripping in hot weather.
3. Overload trip indicator.
4. Straight-through wiring.
5. Oversized power terminals will
accommodate up to 2 runs of
500 MCM wire.
6. Starter can be disassembled and
inspected in a matter of seconds.
7. Circuit breaker or disconnect switch
is mechanically interlocked with the
enclosure door to prevent opening
the door until the handle is moved
to the OFF position.
Installation
Before connecting the starter:
1. Remove all packing.
2. Clean magnet mating surfaces
of any dust or foreign matter.
3. Select heaters in accordance with
heater table, which accompanies
each device.
4. Operate movable magnet and
operating arm by pressing on the
nameplate to assure free movement.
5. Mount the starter on a sturdy
vertical support.
6. The overload relay may be reset
manually by depressing and releasing
the reset arm. Overload relays with an
optional normally open contact are
electrically isolated from the normally
closed contact.
7. Provide motor branch circuit protection
in accordance with the National
Electrical Code.
Coil removal
The encapsulated coil is impervious to
moisture, dirt and oil. It resists mechanical
damage and failure due to high humidity.
No tools are required to remove coil.
1. Remove power from device.
2. Unscrew one end of the retainer (B —
figure 1) and slide it out of the slot.
3. Remove movable magnet assembly.
4. Loosen four coil retainer screws (C —
figure 1) . Press against coil and pull up
and out on coil retainers (A — figure 1).
