Programmable Parameters
Adjustments
The motor data parameters are critical to the correct operation of the soft starter's thermal model,
and to the motor overload protection. Always set Pr 3 and 4 to suit the motor's characteristics.

Start Time
08324. A
Select the initial start current (A) and ramp time
(B).
Current ramp starting extends the time soft
starter takes to reach the current limit and is
suitable for generator set supplies, loads
requiring an extended start time or applications
with extreme load variation between starts.
The ramp time does not control the time the
motor will take to reach full speed.
Select the current limit (C).
The current limit is the maximum level of current
the soft starter will deliver to the motor during the
soft start.
Select the trip class for motor overload
protection.
The trip class reflects the maximum time (in
seconds) that the motor can run at locked rotor
current. The Motor Trip Class setting assumes a
locked rotor current of 600%.
Setting the motor trip class to "Off" disables
motor overload protection.
