1. Starter Details :
A motor Starter has two basic functions to perform; 1) Starting and stopping the motor. 2) Providing adequate protection to the motor and safeguarding it in the event of sustained overloads, single phasing, locked rotor conditions and undervoltage. Siemens makes a wide variety and range of Starters suitable for various applications. However, for small general purpose motor

feeders, we normally come across; a) Direct-on-line starting and b) Star Delta starting

1.a Direct-On-Line Starting

General : The most economical and popular method of starting squirrel cage induction motors, is direct-on-line, where the starter is connected directly across the three phases of the supply. However, the starting current at the moment of switching direct-on-line can be as high

Fig. 1 3

as 6-8 times the rated current. Due to this reason, the Electricity Boards have laid down general regulations that direct-on-line starting of squirrel cage motors shall be allowed only for small motors-upto 5 or 7 .5 H.P . This regulation is particularly enforced in rural areas. The Siemens direct-on-line starter (Ref. Fig. 2) consists of three functional components: 1) The contactor which is responsible for the switching function and low voltage protection.

2) The bimetal overload relay which is the sensing device that switches off the contactor when the motor gets overloaded or under single phasing. 3) Push buttons used for switching ON and OFF Contactor : The new DOL starter designed by Siemens for motors up to 10 HP is fitted with 3 TW02 type of contactor. This contactor is specially designed by Siemens considering the requirements of industry as well as agriculture.

Fig. 2 Direct On Line Starter 4

Considering the specific need of the agricultural pumpset applications, Siemens has designed a special wide band coil (200400V). This coil can operate reliably even when there is wide voltage fluctuation. The contact rating of this contactor is 20 A. This high contact rating has made RAJA starter the most suitable starter even for the starting of 7 .5 HP submersible pumps. Bimetal Overload Relay : The RAJA direct-on-line starter is fitted with the new 3UW50 type of relay. These relays are computer calibrated and therefore, are very accurate. The main benefit of this bimetal relay is the built-in single phasing protection in addition to the overload protection. Operation of D.O.L. starter: For starting, the ON push button is pressed, which energizes the contactor coil, thus switching on the circuit.

When the OFF push button is pressed, the contactor is de-energized, switching off the circuit. The bimetal relay under normal functioning of motor, plays no active part in the starter. But under overload, single phasing or locked rotor conditions of motor, the bimetal relay cuts-off the supply to the contactor coil, tripping the circuit. The contactor itself provides the necessary no-voltage protection in so far as it will drop out in the case of a supply failure, and for restarting on resumption of supply, the ON push button will have to be pressed again.

1.b Star-Delta Starting:

General: For squirrel cage motors which cannot be started direct-on-line due to starting current limitations, the simplest alternative is stardelta starting. In star-delta starting the motor is started in star
5

connection, the connections being changed over to delta when the motor has reached nearly rated speed. By connecting the motor in star during the starting period, the impressed phase voltage is reduced to 0.58 of the voltage in delta connection. The corresponding line current in star is thus only one-third that in delta. For most motors started directon-line, the current at the moment of staring is about six to eight times its rated current and therefore by starting in star the current is reduced to only about 2 to

2.5 times the rated current. As both, the phase voltage and current are reduced during the starting period in star connection, the torque is also reduced and is only one-third of that in delta. The starting torque produced by normal duty motors is about 150% of the rated torque and hence star-delta starting can be used only with drives where the load torque at the moment of starting is not more than 50% of the rated torque. Fig. 3 gives a graphical representation of the stardelta phenomena. The motor

is started in star and once it has picked up speed, its connections are changed over to delta However, the timing of the changeover is extremely important. To illustrate this, two changeover points A, B have been shown to illustrate the effect of an early changeover. The shape of the delta curve is such that no appreciable limitation of the current is possible till the motor speed has reached at least 80% of its synchronous value. Siemens manufactures two basic types of Star-delta starters: 1) Handle Operated StarDelta Starter where the changeover of stator connections from star to delta is done manually through a switch. 2) Automatic Star-Delta Starter where the changeover of stator connections from star to delta is automatic after a preset time by the use of a timer.

For closer protection of the motor, particularly against single phasing, the overload relay in all Siemens Star-Delta Starters has been connected in the phase circuit, and hence should be set for 0.58 times the actual current drawn by the motor, as measured by an ammeter. In no case should be bimetal setting be more than 0.58 times the rated line current mentioned on the motor name plate.

Star-Delta Starter (Handle Operated):

Siemens RAJA Handle Operated Star-Delta starter type 3LW42 consists of a star-delta switch, a contactor, an overload relay, Reset push button and a safety ON push button. (Fig. 4) This RAJA starter, too, is fitted with the new 3TW02 contactor and the new 3UW50 bimetal overload relay which are discussed in section 1.a above. The 3LAO is a motor control
7

Fig. 4 Star-Delta Starter (Handle Operated)

switch capable of making and breaking 6-8 times the rated current. A mechanical life of 50 lakh switching cycles is achieved by the use of a form-fit design of parts. Special bearings are provided where parts of metal rub against plastic. These bearings show 200 times less wear than friction between metals. The use of silver as contact material and short contact opening paths ensures a contact life of 10 lakh switching cycles.
8

This switch is used for the star-delta switching function. Operation : To start the motor, move the 3LAO switch handle from O position to star (Y) position with the right hand and press the start - (I) push button with your left hand. The motor starts and when it has almost come to its rated speed (indicated when the motor hum reaches a steady pitch), turn the handle to delta position, still taking care to keep the push button

pressed. Only now, the push button and the switch handle can be released. The safety push button is provided to ensure that the motor cannot be left running in the Star connection due to the negligence or ignorance of the operator, and thereby burn out. Also, the motor cannot be started in delta position. To stop the motor, bring the handle of the switch to O position. Likewise if the starter trips automatically due to any fault, the switch handle is first to be brought to O position and the bimetal relay has to be reset. Then the starting procedure described above can be adopted.

Automatic Star-Delta Starter :

Automatic Star-Delta Starter type 3TE consists of three contactors, one each for line, star and delta, a bimetal overload relay, a timer for

automatic changeover from star to delta and push buttons for control command. When the ON push button is pressed, the line contactor and the star contactor pick up and the motor runs in star. After the preset starting time, the timer automatically switches off the star contactor and switches ON the delta contactor, thus after the starting period, the motor runs in delta. The OFF push button has been provided to trip the entire circuit. Siemens provide accurate timers to ensure changeover from star to delta at the correct set time. Though more expensive, this starter has the added advantage over the Handle Operated star-delta starter in that it is fully automatic. Here the timer can be set initially and all future operations are automatic, thus avoiding the early changeover to delta which could be possible by a hasty or ignorant operator.

4. Installation & Maintenance guidelines

A. Installation : a) Use the suitable starter as per your requirements. (Refer section 2 - Selection of Motor Starters) b) Use the appropriate cable sizes and back-up fuse for smooth operation of the starter. Terminal screws = M4, stripped length = 10 mm, max. = 4 mm2 copper c) Mount the starter on vertical, rigid surface (maximum tilt permissible o = 15 with respect to the vertical plane) d) Use of cable glands is recommended to avoid dust ingress. e) Set the blue knob on the relay to manual or auto mode as appropriate. f) Set the relay to actual motor current or as outlined in the operating instructions booklet. g) Check the on/off operation as outlined elsewhere in this brochure.

B. Maintenance Caution ! Switch off the starter and disconnect the main supply by switching off the main switch before doing any maintenance. Follow the various maintenance tips given in the operating instruction booklet Routine Inspection: Inspect terminals, contacts, arc chambers periodically two months after installation and every six months thereafter. Routine inspections help to monitor the state of the contactor. These contribute to the reliability of the plant and minimize risk of breakdown during production hours. Isolation for Maintenance : Switch off the contactor & upstream devices before inspecting the contactor as a safety precaution. Terminals : Tighten terminals periodically Connections have a tendency to loosen with time 1 7

particularly those of aluminium which is a soft material. The terminals should be tightened with a torque specified in the table. Screws Tightening torque. N cm M 3.0 M 3.5 M 4.0 40 - 55 80 - 100 80 - 100

has become less than 40% of its original volume. Do not employ carbon impression method to check healthiness of contacts. Do not use abrasives e.g. do not file contacts, do not use emery paper on contacts. Abrasives remove silver from the contact tip & drastically reduce the contact life. Do not grease the contacts. The contact condition should be inspected after a fault i.e. short circuit. If the contacts are slightly welded, separate them with a screw driver. Slight but separable welding does not affect the performance of the contactor, its acceptability is recognized by IS13947/IEC 947 specifications. If the contacts are not easily separable i.e. permanently welded, replace the contacts and use the contactor, provided its other parts are in proper condition. Replacing the complete contactor is not necessary in such a case.

Contact Condition : Tarnished/Blackened Contact : Tarnishing is normal for any silver item, it is due to the formation of silver oxide which is a good conductor of heat and electricity, hence tarnished contacts need not be replaced. Blackened or sooty contacts which are otherwise in a good condition need not be replaced. These contacts can be cleaned with CRC 2-26. Do not replace slightly pitted contact. Whether a contact is good or not depends on the volume of contact material which remains in it. Replace contacts when the contact tip
18

Replace contacts in pairs i.e. fixed & moving contacts of one pole together. This ensures proper mating of the contact tips. After replacing contacts, operate the contactor a few times before putting it back to normal service. Do not replace the contacts after the mechanical life is over. Maximum number of replacements is about 4; after which the contactor requires replacement. Magnets : In case of rust/dust accumulation on the magnet faces, clean them with CRC 2-26/ Chamoi leather. Do not use degreasing agent as petrol. Dust/rust affect contactor performance and cause humming. Do not clean magnets with

sharp/pointed objects. Filing upsets the mating of the magnet faces. Clean lightly with fine size 00 emery paper if required. Mechanical Life : When the mechanical life of the contactor is over, replace the complete contactor. Following are the indicators of the end of mechanical life. For E shaped magnet, air gap between the central limbs is reduced to zero. This is indicated when there is rubbing of paint on the central pole face of the upper magnet. Broken shading ring of the magnet. Flaring of magnet pole faces, hence difficulty in removing coil. Incurable humming. Sluggish operation. Contactor does not drop off.
