VersiStart i III
64
11.7
Two Speed Motor
The VersiStart i III can be configured for control of dual speed Dahlander type motors, using a high speed contactor (K1), low speed
contactor (K2) and a star contactor (K3).
NOTE
Pole Amplitude Modulated (PAM) motors alter the speed by effectively changing the stator frequency using external
winding configuration. Soft starters are not suitable for use with this type of two-speed motor.
When the soft starter receives a high speed start signal, it closes the high speed contactor (K1) and star contactor (K3), then controls the
motor according to the primary motor settings.
When the soft starter receives a low speed start signal, it closes the low speed contactor (K2). This closes Input A and the VersiStart i III
controls the motor according to the secondary motor settings.

Parameter settings:
x
Parameter 6D Input A Function
x
Select 'Motor Set Select' - assigns Input A for Motor set selection.
x
Set high speed performance characteristics using the primary motor settings.
x
Set low speed performance characteristics using the secondary motor settings.
x
Parameter 7D Relay B Function
x
Select 'Trip' - assigns Trip function to Relay Output B
NOTE
If the VersiStart i III trips on supply frequency (parameter 16F Frequency) when the high-speed start signal (7) is
removed, modify the frequency protection settings.
