AC53b utilisation code
The AC53b utilisation code defines the current rating and standard operating conditions for a bypassed soft
starter (internally bypassed, or installed with an external bypass contactor).
The soft starter's current rating determines the maximum motor size it can be used with. The soft starter's
rating depends on the number of starts per hour, the length and current level of the start, and the amount of
time the soft starter will be off (not passing current) between starts.
The soft starter's current rating is only valid when used within the conditions specified in the utilisation code.
The soft starter may have a higher or lower current rating in different operating conditions.

60 A : AC-53b
Starter current rating: The full load current rating of the soft starter given the parameters detailed in the
remaining sections of the utilisation code.
Start current: The maximum available start current.
Start time: The maximum allowable start time.
Off time: The minimum allowable time between the end of one start and the beginning of the next start.
