HANDBOOK

CONTENT

Introduction
This handbook attempts to illustrate typical circuit
arrangements for DOL, Star-Delta and other
combinations of motor starters using L&T contactors,
overload relays, timers, push buttons, rotary switches and
other accessories.
These circuits can be used as guidelines when planning
switchboards or control panels. They can also be utilised
for maintenance of standard L&T starters.

SECTION I
General
To provide motors with accurate and reliable protection, it is
essential to keep the following points in mind :
1) Relay setting
The overload relay unit is the protection center of the motor
starter. Relays come in a number of ranges. Selection of a relay for
a starter depends upon motor hp and duty.
A selection table indicating the proper range for different ratings
is given in section VI. For all direct-on-line starters, relays should
be set to the actual load current of the motor. This value should be
equal to or lower than the full load current indicated on the motor
name plate. Here is a simple procedure for setting the relay to the
actual load current:
Set the relay to about 80% of full load current. If it trips, increase
the setting to 85% or more. The relay should never be set at more
than the actual current drawn by the motor (The actual current
drawn by a motor will be less than the full load current in most of
the cases, as motors may not be loaded to capacity.)
The relay operates on the phase currents in Star-Delta starters.
It should, therefore, be set at 0.6 times actual load current. A
procedure similar to the one described for setting relays in DOL
starters can be followed for Star-Delta starters.
2) Tripping of starters
A starter may trip due to the following conditions;
a) Low voltage or failure of power supply
b) Persistent overload on the motor
In the first instance, the tripping occurs through the coil which
opens the contacts when voltage falls below a certain level.
The starter can be restarted as soon as supply is back to
normal. The relay trips the starter when there is an overload. It
can be restarted only after the relay is reset. However, the
cause of overload must be investigated before restarting, or
else the starter will trip again. Persistent overloading can
reduce the life of the motor.

L&T offers manual reset type thermal overload relays. These


relays clearly discriminate between tripping caused by an
overload and tripping due to failure of supply voltage. MN relays
also give protection against single phasing and overload. MN
relays are provided with Auto/Manual reset facility.When a starter
trips because of an overload, it cannot be restarted by pressing the
start button. The stop button has to be pressed first to manually
reset the relay before restarted. The relays can be reset only after
the bimetals have cooled sufficiently. Resetting must therefore
be carried out after one or two minutes. This will also permit the
motor to cool down.
Back-up fuses
Motor starters must never be used without back-up fuses. The
sensitive thermal relay mechanism is designed and calibrated to
provide effective protection against overload fuses preferably the
HRC cartridge type, are essential for protecting the installation as
well as the thermal overload relay of motor starter against short
circuits. A reference table indicating fuse ratings for different
ratings is given in Section VI.
It is recommended that the use of semi-enclosed, rewirable
tinned copper fuses may be avoided.
Coil voltage
Selection of coils depends on the actual supply voltage
available. A wide variety of coil voltages like 24V, 42V, 110V, 220V,
230 / 250V, 360V, 400 / 440V ac are available as standard for L&T
contactors and starters.

When contactor "B is welded, relay is permanently by passed and the motor
is not protected. To overcome this, another timerT2 is introduced as shown in
the figure the time delay of timer T2 is to be kept greater than time delay of
timer T1.when contactor "B" is welded, NC contact of timer T2 will disconnect
coil A. Thus the motor is switched off.

INFORMATION FOR INSTALLATION AND


PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Cable connections to the terminals
When aluminum wires are used, the following method should
be adopted:
If the wire is smallup to 1 mm2
Single strand
1.
Clean the wire surface by rubbing with a small hard wire
brush.
2.
Tin the wire immediately (within 2 or 3 minutes).
3.
Put wire under terminal clamp and tighten screws. Do not
tighten to such an extent that the wire becomes flat.
Every two or three months, it may be necessary to ensure that
the screws are tight and the wire has not become loose. This
may happen because aluminum is soft and is likely to "flow".
Always apply inhibiting grease around the terminal and wire to
prevent moisture from reaching the area of contact. Apply
inhibiting grease, only on the terminals and wire and not on the
contacts.
If the wire is largelarger than 10 mm2
Multi-strand
Wires should be connected with the help of cable lugs or thimbles.
The cable lugs may be of "soldering" or "crimping" type.
For "soldering" type cable lugs:
l
Check that cable lug socket is clean and dry inside.
l
Clean every strand of aluminum wire with a small hard wire
brush by opening out the cable strands.
l
Immediately dip all the strands in tin solder.

108

Insert the stranded cable in the proper size cable lug and pour
l
solder through the cable lug. Ensure that solder fills the entire
space inside the cable lug socket.
l
Wipe off excess solder on cable insulation.
l
Connect the cable lug to the terminal and tighten terminal screws
using spring washers on the cable lug.
l
There should not be excess load on the cable lug, or else the
solder will becomes loose. Care must, therefore, be taken to
cut the cable core and strip the insulation to the correct length.
The cable lug should sit flat on the terminal and the cable should
not have sharp bends.
Every two or three months it is necessary to check whether
the connection is firm and to tighten the screws, if necessary.
Also check and ensure that the cable is not loose in the cable
lug.
For "crimping" type cable lugs:
Check that cable lug socket is clean and dry inside.
l
Clean every strand of aluminum wire with a small hard wire
brush after opening strands.
l
Close the strand again immediately, insert to the proper length
inside the cable lug socket and crimp, using the correct crimping
tool.
l
Connect the cable lugs to the terminal and tighten terminal
screws using spring washers on the cable lug.
Contact maintenance
Contact tips are made of silver compositions like silver nickel and silver
cadmium oxide. In normal use, these tips may show slight brown or
black tarnish. If the atmosphere around the starter contains high
moisture and sulphur, the contact tips will show excessive tarnishing.
To clean the contact tips, use this maintenance procedure:

109

1.
2.
3.

SECTION VIII

Rub the contact tips lightly will fine emery paper,


DO NOT FILE THE CONTACT.
Remove small particles by rubbing with wet cotton wool or
with a wet, clean cloth.
Remove the water on the contact tip surface with a dry, clean
cloth. If possible, apply acetone or carbon tetrachloride. Do not
use petrol.

Trouble shooting chart for starters


l
For DOL starters
l
For Star - Delta starters

The maintenance procedure is necessary only if contact tips


are covered with thick, black tarnish film. If the contact tip is uneven,
but not heavily tarnished, do not disturb the contact.
Contact replacement
Contact replacement becomes necessary if less than onethird of the original contact tip remains on the contact. This can be
ascertained by comparing the contact with a new one of the same
starter. When replacing contacts, change contact, springs and leaf
springs, if any.
Note :

110

Proper soldering of aluminum cables requires special


grade of solders and fluxes meant for that purpose.
Normal solders and fluxes will produce a joint deceptively
acceptable but it will in practice lead to over-heating and
eventually to burn outs.

111

SECTION VIII

4. Humming and/or
chattering noise.

4. a) Low supply voltage


b) Magnet faces unclean.
Moving system
functioning is
obstructed by dirt.

5. Use of starters on 230V


1 supply. Incoming /
outgoing lines wired.
However motor does not
start.

5. Coil obtains supply from


across R & B supply.
However if in/out wires are
connected on R & Y phases
coil will not energise. You
may connect all three
phase in series.

6. Remote start/stop button


not working properly ;
motor starts on remote
starts; however does not
stop on remote stop.

6. Red wire not wired as per


wiring diagram.

7. Thermostat/float switch/
pressure switch are wired
to the starter. Motor cannot
be stopped properly.
Motor stops on pressing
stop button. However
it restarts on releasing

7. No mistake in wiring here


However it is necessary
that the stop button is of
the stay-put type or
locked in Off position
Alternatively, you could
shut them main switch.

8. Motor does not restart


immediately after tripping
on O/L even though
resetting has been
resorted to.

8. It takes a little time for


the thermal bimetal
to coil and reset. Hence
wait for 2-4 minutes
before restarting.

Trouble shooting chart for starters


Given below are some of the common complaints in starters.
The probable cause and suggested remedy are also given. But
before attending to any complaint, ensure that the wiring is as per
the wiring diagram given in this booklet. Most of the complaints can
be traced to the wiring carried out at the site.

FOR DOL STARTERS:

112

Complaint

Reasons / Solutions

1. Motor does not start even


though Start button is
pressed. However on
lifting the moving magnet
manually, motor starts.

1. a) Coil does not get energised


(see control wiring diagram)
b) Check nylon strip on
relay, Check nylon
button below start button.

2. Relay/coil has been


charged. However motor
does not start when green
button is pressed.

2. Check if red wire on the


relay and black wire on the
coil are properly connected.

3. Motor starts when green


button is pressed. It
however stops immediately
when it is released.

3. a) Blue wire is not


connected properly or
completely absent.
b) Hold-on contact
moving strip is missing or
mproperly placed.

113

FOR START - DELTA STARTERS:

SECTION IX

1. Motor works in Start. However it


does not work properly in Delta
and refuses to take load.

1. Checked if only three wires are


being terminated in terminal box
of motor. Six wires should be
connected to starter. If shorting
links are present they should be
removed.

2. a) Motor starts with difficulty


in Starts or tip strips when
additional load is present.
b) Motor works in Star.
However stops when
Delta connection comes on.

2. Reduce time delay from Star to


Delta in case it is kept very long.
a) Or if a semi-automatic
starter is being used, switch
over from Star to Delta
earlier than done previously.
b) Possibly due to low
system voltage.

3. a) Even though all six wires have


been Connected, motor stops
when in Delta.
b) Motor stops when in
Delta, starter trips and
fuse blows.

3. a) Delta connection from


motor is improper.
b) Low system voltage.
Star / Delta connection in
starter wrongly connected.

4. Relay has been changed


in semi-automatic starter,
however when the
main switch is on, the
motor starts immediately
without the necessity of
pressing the start button.
Motor stops in Star itself.

4. This is a usual complaint.


You may have changed the
original relay yourself. All factory
made relays have loop\wires
2-3 wired, in semi-automatci
starters. 2-4 terminals on relays
must be connected. Checked
relay before connecting it on
starter.
