N O T I C E
TVR soft starting is not suitable for high-inertia loads (such as fans), which require a high level of voltage to accelerate the load.
N O T I C E
For multiple motors of the same size, and/or mechanically coupled loads, use constant current starting.
For a timed voltage ramp start, the following are typical values and can be adjusted to suit a specific application:
Add the FLC value of all the connected motors. Use this combined value to set parameter 1-2 Motor Full Load Current.
N O T I C E
The combined value must not exceed the soft starter rating.
Set parameter 2-3 Initial Current to 100%, parameter 2-4 Current Limit to 500%, and set the ramp time as required (parameter 2-2
Start Ramp Time).

9.8.5 Adaptive Control for Starting
In an adaptive control soft start, the soft starter adjusts the current to start the motor within a specified time and uses a selected
acceleration profile.
N O T I C E
The soft starter applies the current limit on all soft starts, including adaptive control. If the current limit is too low or the start
ramp time (set in parameter 2-2 Start Ramp Time) is too short, the motor may not start successfully.
