Appendix A Applying More Than One ArmorStart LT Motor Controller in a Single Branch Circuit on Industrial Machinery
machinery is found in 3.3.56 of NFPA 79 and 670.2 of Article 670, Industrial
Machinery, in NFPA 70.
These conventions are used throughout this appendix. First, although all of the
equipment is connected to a three-phase electrical supply, all of the figures are
shown as one-line diagrams. Second, although all of the ArmorStart LT motor
controllers are listed for group installation with both fuses and a specific family
of inverse time circuit breakers, this appendix considers only fuses. This is done to
avoid repetitive explanations with minor, but necessary qualifications, for circuit
breakers. Generally, the principles for selecting the fuses also apply to selecting
inverse time circuit breakers. Third, all references unless indicated otherwise, are
to NFPA 79 – 2012.

ArmorStart LT
Product Family This section contains a brief description of the attributes of the ArmorStart LT
motor controllers that are relevant to applying them in multiple-motor
branch circuits.
The term motor controller refers to the device that stops and starts the motor.
The ArmorStart LT product family consists of two types of motor controllers.
The Bulletin 290 and 291 controllers are magnetic motor controllers that use an
electromechanical contactor to stop and start the motor. The Bulletin 294 motor
controllers use a variable-frequency AC drive to stop, start and vary the speed
of the motor. This appendix refers to the Bulletin 290, 291 and 294 products as
either motor controllers or just controllers.
