1 Motor FLC
Value:
50% - 100% MCD 202 FLC
✭ 100%
Function:
Calibrates the MCD 202 for the Full Load Current of
the motor.
Description of choice:
95%
=
100 A
95 A
177HA233.12
2 Current Limit
Value:
250% - 475% Motor FLC
✭ 350%
Function:
Sets the desired starting current limit.
Description of choice:
The current limit should be set so that the motor
accelerates easily to full speed.
NB!:
Start current must be great enough to allow
the motor to produce sufficient torque to
accelerate the connected load. The minimum current
required to do this is dependent on motor design and
load torque requirements.
3 Current Ramp
Value:
150% Motor FLC (2, 5 or 15 seconds)
✭ Off
200% Motor FLC (2, 5 or 15 seconds)
250% Motor FLC (2, 5 or 15 seconds)
Off
Function:
Sets the initial starting current and ramp time for the
Current Ramp start mode.
Description of choice:
The Current Ramp start mode modifies the Current
Limit start mode by adding an extended ramp.
Typically the Current Ramp start mode would be used
in two circumstances.
1. For applications where start conditions vary
between starts the Current Ramp mode provides
an optimum soft start irrespective of motor
loading e.g. a conveyor that may start loaded or
unloaded.
