- Before energizing the motor feeder, check movement of each contactor by means of manually pressing the moving bridge.
- Ensure that all the connections are fully tighten as per the required force (NM) value of each screw/bolt.
- Ensure that shorting links at star contactor are intact & tighten.
- Ensure that control fuse carrier with HRC fuse is intact and in case of MCB, it is in ‘ON’ position.
- Incase terminal provided for external additional interlock have not been used, a shorting link must be provided.
- Incase terminal provided for start/ stop operation through BMS have not been used, do not provide shorting link between these two terminals.
Philosophy of Operation
- Start push button gives command to Star/Delta timer.
- The same command goes to Star contactor through NC contacts of timer and Delta contactor.
- After energizing Star contactor, it gives start command to Line contactor through NO contact of Star contactor
- Once Line contactor get energize, it gets sealing command from its own NO contacts.
- Motor starts on Star connections.
- After prefix time the timer disconnect control supply to Star contactor and give supply to Delta contactor through NC contact of Star contactor, now motor runs on Delta circuit.
