Notice
If the current measuring module is switched to delta (normal case), a
current which is 1/√ 3 times smaller must be set for the star-delta starter
control function.
Example: I
n
= 100 A I
s
= I
n
x 1/√ 3
I
s
= 100 A x 1/√ 3 = 57.7 A
Current to be set I
s
= 57.7 A
Change-over pause
The switching time from star to delta can be extended by the change-over
pause.
Reason: For motors with a high ratio between starting current and rated
current, the mains voltage plus motor EMF might lead to a very high delta
starting current if the change-over pause is too short. The motor EMF
decreases if the pause is longer.
