Introduction
Safety in the workplace concerns us all
and, in recent years, its importance has
been emphasised by the introduction of a
whole range of European and national
legislation. One important aspect of this
legislation has been to require proper
co-ordination of the components used in
motor starters. As a result, Type 2
co-ordination, as defined by BS EN
60947-4, has become the accepted
standard for industry today.
The adoption of Type 2 co-ordination
has undoubtedly made a major
contribution to electrical safety, but
Type 2 co-ordination has its limitations.
Nowhere are these more apparent than in
modern continuous process industries
and public utilities, where the cost of
downtime is measured in thousands of
pounds per minute, and where the
accessibility of plant for routine
maintenance is minimal.
In these situations, and many others,
there is a definite need to go beyond the
minimum requirements set by Type 2
co-ordination. Telemecanique is
meeting this need with a comprehensive
Evolution
The need for co-ordination
All motor starters include devices which provide short-circuit protection,
power switching and overload protection. The devices may be separate
components, such as a set of fuses or an MCCB, a contactor, and a thermal
overload relay. Alternatively, the functions may be combined in a single
component a fully integrated starter.
Under overload conditions, the overload protection will trip the supply to the
motor in a time which depends upon the current. The greater the current, the
faster the overload will trip, but in the event of a short circuit, its response
time is still not fast enough to prevent damage to the motor or starter.
Separate protection against short circuits is, therefore, necessary.
Motor starters may, however, be subjected to a whole range of fault
conditions, from a minor overload to a high-current short circuit. If the
devices making up the starter are not properly co-ordinated, certain levels of
fault may not be correctly handled. Possible consequences include
overheated cables and equipment, with an associated risk of fire; contact
welding in the switching device, rendering it unfit for further service; and
permanent degradation of the characteristics of the overload protection
device, rendering it unreliable or even unsafe for future use.
The basic aim of co-ordination is to ensure that the motor starter handles
all levels of fault current safely. The higher types of co-ordination, such as
Type 2, go further and try to ensure that after a fault the starter is still fit for
further use. The load switching contactor may for example have contacts
which are lightly welded, but this weld is easily broken.
After a fault, the motor starter components must be checked. It may be
necessary to replace fuses, check MCCB contacts, and break any tack
welding on the contactor.
As long ago as 1985, The Health and Safety at Work

report revealed that, in many electrical installations,
the protective devices were inadequate for the
intended application. Part of the reason for this
was a general lack of understanding of the need
for co-ordination between the components used in
motor starters.
The need for more stringent controls in this area
was highlighted in clause 7.6.1 of BS 5486:1990
(now BS EN 60439-1:1994), which states that
co-ordination, for example, of motor starters with
short-circuit protection devices, must comply with
the relevant IEC standards. The Electricity at Work
Regulations 1989 firmly place the responsibility for
this compliance with the designers, installers and
users of the equipment.
How valid are co-ordination claims?

Today compliance with Type 2 co-ordination is
claimed by most component manufacturers. The
component specifier needs to ensure that claims
made by the manufacturer can be backed up.
Statements made in manufacturers catalogues such
as designed in accordance with Type 2
co-ordination or Type 2 co-ordination according
to IEC 60947-4-1 are meaningless without any form
or proof. If in doubt, the specifier should ask the
manufacturer to provide copies of the test certificates.
Ask to see the proof!
Telemecanique can provide this proof in the form

of test certificates from independant LOVAG
accredited test houses.
Type 2 co-ordination
The current standard, IEC 60947-4-1 (BS EN 60947-4-1)
defines levels of co-ordination designated as types
1 and 2.
IEC 60947-4-1 which deals with starters constructed
from separate components, is now complemented
by IEC 60947-6-2 (BS EN 60947-6-2) which covers
Control and Protective Switching (CPS or Total
co-ordination) devices, often known as integrated
starters.
To find starters which can be guaranteed to be fit for further service after a fault,
without the need for checking by skilled maintenance staff, it is necessary to
follow Telemecaniques lead, and go beyond Type 2 co-ordination.
range of motor starting solutions which

set new standards for safety,
performance and convenience.
Process applications depend

on Telemecanique protection
devices to provide a safe
working environment.
The needs of industry

Safety and efficiency are the two key requirements
of modern industry.
The people and their skills
The black box
More flexible, more intelligent
To protect people and property, plant must be

designed for safety from the outset. Just as
important, however, it must be maintained in a
safe condition throughout its working life. These
requirements are not optional they have the full
force of law, and the potential penalties for
non-compliance are severe.
In spite of the pressures for safety and efficiency,

todays industry has staffing levels in design offices
and maintenance departments which are lower than
ever before. Design teams no longer have the time
to create individual solutions for each project, and
hard pressed maintenance staff have little time to
spend tracing and correcting faults and replacing
components where necessary.
The answer is to let the equipment manufacturer

take care of the complexity. Working to, and beyond
the latest standards, expert equipment
manufacturers like Telemecanique can produce
equipment which intrinsically satisfies industrys
requirements for safety and efficiency.
Fully integrated CPS starters are the ideal choice for many applications but,
for large (above 63A) or especially important drives, or complex systems, a
solution which offers flexibility may be needed. In particular, these drives may
need advanced motor protection incorporating, for example, underload and
earth-leakage detection. In modern installations, the starters may also need the
intelligence to collect data, and to communicate directly with programmable
controllers and supervisory computer systems.
To protect investment, and help users to be

competitive, plant must be productive. Downtime
and stoppages for maintenance must, as far as
possible, be eliminated.
Furthermore, skill levels in many plants are declining.

In this competitive age, no company can afford to
employ specialist staff whose skills will be needed
only occasionally. Yet, to meet the twin requirements
of safety and efficiency, modern equipment is
necessarily complex. How can non-specialist staff,
working under constant time pressure, be expected
to cope?
For specifiers and users, such equipment can be

treated as a black box. To use it safely and
effectively, its only necessary to know what it does,
and what its limitations are. Detailed knowledge of
the equipments internal features is totally
unnecessary.
Excellent examples of black-box products are the
fully integrated starters in Telemecaniques Integral
range. Each Integral starter offers isolation, shortcircuit protection, power switching and overload
protection in a single device. Co-ordination is
automatic Telemecanique has built it in and the
starters performance is guaranteed under all
operating conditions within their specification.
Telemecanique offers solutions which meet these requirements, and many

others, without sacrificing the benefits of the black box approach. Though the
starters now incorporate separate components, provided that Telemecaniques
expert selection advice is followed, they are guaranteed to meet the
requirements for Type 2 co-ordination. No complicated calculations or
characteristic comparisons are needed. And, as with Telemecaniques integrated
solutions, maintenance requirements are minimal.
Meeting the needs of industry

Telemecanique understands the needs of industry for safety and efficiency, and
has developed a range of motor starting solutions which go beyond the
minimum requirements of Type 2 co-ordination to meet those needs in every
application. Telemecanique has the expertise you can rely on to solve your motor
starting problems.
Fit and forget

The black-box concept is an ideal solution for the
plant designer and specifier, but what can be done
about maintenance? Clearly, the answer is for
manufacturers to produce products which require no
maintenance but, for motor starters, this is quite a
challenge. What about fuse replacement or contact
welding under fault conditions?
By going beyond Type 2 co-ordination, however,
Telemecanique has completely solved the problems
of starter maintenance. Telemecanique Integral CPS
starters are not just black boxes, theyre also true fitand-forget products. They will never need specialist
attention during their exceptionally long working lives
even if they are subject to overload or short circuit
fault conditions.
Integral control and protective

switching devices (CPS), offer a
guarantee of no contact welds
Legislation and standards

In the United Kingdom, the
fundamental guidelines for
safety in the workplace are the
Health and Safety at Work Act
of 1974 and, for matters
concerned with electricity,
the Electricity at Work
Regulations of 1989. These
regulations apply to everyone,
whether they be suppliers or
manufacturers of equipment,
or simply users.
For those involved with the design, manufacture and
installation of equipment, the Supply of Machinery
(Safety) Regulations 1992 lay down further
requirements. For end users of equipment, the
Health and Safety at Work Act and the Electricity at
Work Regulations are supplemented by the
Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations
1992, often referred to as PUWER.
The Supply of Machinery
Other standards
Duty holders
(Safety) Regulations
The 16th Edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations,

which have now been given the status of a British
Standard (BS 7671), establish basic requirements for
electrical installations in the UK. Rule 435-01-01 of
the 16th edition is particularly concerned with
co-ordination, and states:
According to the Health and Safety at Work Act, every employee has a
responsibility to ensure the safety of others, and their own personal safety, in the
workplace. Other regulations also define duties and responsibilities.
In meeting their obligations under these regulations,

designers will initially be guided, in electrical
aspects, by BS EN 60204-1, Safety of Machinery
Electrical Equipment of Industrial Machines. They
will also need to take into account those specific
types of equipment and areas of design which have
their own standards, such as BS EN 60947-4-1
which covers conventional motor starters, and
BS EN 60947-6-2 which covers starters constructed
as fully integrated Control and Protective Switching
(CPS) devices.
Provision and Use of Workplace

Equipment Regulations
435-01-01 The characteristics of each device for

overload current protection and for fault current
protection shall be co-ordinated so that the energy
let-through by the fault current protective device does
not exceed that which can be withstood without
damage by the overload current protective device.
For applications involving motor starters, this once
again suggests that reference should be made to
the co-ordination requirements of BS EN 60947-4-1
or BS EN 60947-6-2 and the requirements for motor
starters in panels built to BS EN 60439-1.
Under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations, for example, the duty
holder is defined as any person, within a particular area, responsible for his or
her own safety, and the safety of others, within the working environment. This
includes designers, engineers, technicians and users of machinery.
The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations clearly and
unambiguously identify the employer as the person whose duty it is to ensure
that the requirements of the regulations are met.
In each and every case, the duties and obligations have the full force of law, and
failure to meet them may lead to severe penalties, including imprisonment. This
makes it very much in everyones interest whether designer, specifier or end
user to ensure that equipment complies with all of the relevant standards.
Under the provisions of these regulations, employers

are legally obliged to ensure that work equipment,
existing or new, is installed and used in line with the
requirements of the regulations. Among the specific
provisions of the regulations are requirements for
adequate maintenance, and ensuring that all staff are
properly trained. Specific hazards, such as the risk of
fire, overheating and explosion, are also addressed.
One of the most important steps toward
demonstrating compliance is to show that all
elements of the installation meet the requirements of
the specific standards which apply to them, such as
BS EN 60947-4-1 and BS EN 60947-6-2, as already
mentioned, for motor starters.
Standards for motor starters

BS EN 60947-4-1 covers contactors and motor
starters. Its provisions relate specifically to motor
starters assembled from separate components
typically a set of fuses or magnetic-only MCCB, a
contactor, and an overload relay. Starters comprising
other combinations of components are, however,
not excluded.
BS EN 60947-6-2 relates specifically to control and
protective switching (CPS) devices, which are more
usually referred to as integrated starters. Because no
welding of contacts is allowed under any overload or
short circuit fault condition, this standard does not
usually cover starters made up of separate
components, such as a motor protection circuit
BS EN 6094741 and BS EN 6094762
breaker and a contactor, mounted on a common

baseplate, even though these are sometimes loosely
described as "integrated starters".
BS EN 6094741 Electro-mechanical contactors and motor starters
BS EN 60947-6-2 applies only to starters which are

designed, manufactured and marketed as a single,
totally integrated unit meeting all the requirements of
the test sequences specified. This distinction is
important, as the standard demands higher levels of
performance than those required by BS EN 60947-4-1
for starters assembled from separate components.
Type 1 provides complete protection for individuals

in the case of a fault, but does not directly limit the
amount of damage which may be caused to the
starter, meaning costly downtime after a fault,
together with the inconvenience and expense of
having to replace damaged equipment.
For example, BS EN 60947-6-2 requires no contact

welding, and a guaranteed continuity of electrical life
even after a number of fault clearances.
This standard defines two levels of co-ordination.
Type 2 co-ordination also offers complete protection

for individuals against injury, in the event of a fault,
but additionally offers an improved level of protection
for the starter, potentially reducing plant downtime.
The table overleaf shows the tests which are
required for Type 2 co-ordination, but its important
to note that only the r test is compulsory.

Manufacturers who have only carried out the r test
can still claim Type 2 co-ordination there is no
obligation to carry out the subsequent making and
breaking tests to ensure that the starter is fit for
further service.
Telemecanique, however, goes beyond the minimum
requirements of BS EN 60947-4-1, and carries out
all of the prescribed tests on every product
combination for which Type 2 co-ordination is
claimed. Users of Telemecanique products can not
only rely on full co-ordination under all conditions,
they can also be sure that, after a fault, their
installation will remain fit for further service.
IEC 61459 Technical report

This technical report, published by the International
Electrotechnical Commission, provides guidance on
the use of alternative Short Circuit Protective
Devices (SCPDs) in motor starter combinations
based on the information provided by a certified
tested combination.
The main criteria to be taken into account are:
The I2t let through energy of the alternative
SCPD must not be greater than that used in
a tested combination
BS EN 6094762 Control and Protective Switching devices (CPS)

This standard, for integrated CPS starters, ensures
the highest level of co-ordination, with comprehensive
protection for personnel and equipment. In addition,
as the table shows, it requires comprehensive
performance testing, involving thousands of operating
cycles, both before and after short-circuit and
making/breaking capacity tests.
The tests detailed in BS EN 60947-6-2 closely

resemble the normal operating conditions of the
starter. Users selecting products which conform
with this standard can, therefore, be sure of blackbox convenience with fit-and-forget performance.
BS EN 60947-6-2 sets new standards which go way
beyond Type 2.
The Ip current peak of the alternative SCPD

must not be greater than that used in a tested
combination
The SCPD/overload crossover point must be
suitable for the starting duty, plus overload and
contactor protection.

Direct on line motor starters
Star-delta motor starters
Telemecanique offers a wide range of motor starters

having certified Type 2 co-ordination, these being
mainly for operation at 380/415V. In the same way
that IEC 61459 provides guidance on using Short
Circuit Protective Devices other than the certified
combination, the same criteria can be used to
determine combinations for use at other voltages.
This is achieved by taking account of the let through
energy and peak current values of the SCPD at the
alternative voltage, used with a contactor suitable
for use at that voltage, enabling a suitable
contactor/overload combination to be selected.
The traditional position for the thermal overload in a

star-delta starter is in the delta loop, with a current
setting of 0.58 that of the motor full load current.
Additionally the contactors are selected with an AC3
rating for this delta loop current.
In order to achieve Type 2 co-ordination in
accordance with the IEC 61459 recommendations it
is necessary to base the component selection on
the results of tested combinations. Where this
combination has included a thermal overload, in
which the impedance of the device has an influence
on the energy let through under short circuit
conditions, this must be taken into account when
selecting components.
With a starter based upon a traditional circuit the
following points should be considered:
The overload in the delta-loop, is in series with only
one of the two contactors in circuit when the motor
is running.
The contactors may be of a smaller rating than
those for a DOL starter having the same kW rating.
In the case of an overload having directly connected
bi-metallic elements, such as those in
Telemecaniques D range, it is necessary to
simulate the conditions of a tested DOL
combination. This is achieved by connecting the
thermal overload, fully rated for the motor full load
current, directly after the SCPD. The contactors
must be of the same rating as that used with the
overload in the DOL combination. The rating of the
SCPD may be of a lower rating in the case of a fuse,
but in the case of an MCCB will be of the same
rating as for the DOL combination.
Where the overload is of the CT operated bar
primary type, such as the LR9-F type or the LT6
used with external CTs, the short circuit Type 2
tests will effectively be a SCPD/contactor
combination. In this case a CT operated overload
can be retained in the traditional delta-loop position.
The contactors used in the combination may be of a
smaller rating than those for the DOL combination,
but must be suitable for use with the SCPD selected
for starting duty of the starter.

Electronic technology solutions

Co-ordination which goes beyond Type 2 offers
many benefits, including improved safety, better
plant availability, and a reduction in the need for
skilled maintenance. Sometimes, however, todays
industry needs even more from its motor starters,
particularly when large drives, or those which are
especially critical to the operation of the plant, are
involved. In these applications, modern electronic
chip-based technology provides the solutions.
Better protection
Modern thermal overloads based on bi-metal
technology provide excellent protection for motors
in many applications, but they are not without their
limitations. For example, they do not work well with
drives having long run up times, they consume an
appreciable amount of power, they generate heat
within the control enclosure and, particularly if they
need to be used with current transformers, they
require a lot of space.
Electronic chip-based overloads not only solve all of

these problems, they also offer more tightly
controlled trip characteristics and better thermal
modelling. The result is precision protection well
matched to modern motors, which have
substantially less capability to withstand overloads
than their bulkier predecessors.
Communication
Expertise in starters
Effective management of todays industrial plant

depends on knowing whats going on, and being
able to exercise control. Its important to know just
why problems have occurred, so that they can be
avoided in future.
Electronic overloads need no longer be costly or

complicated. Products in Telemecanique's new
LR9-D and LR9-F range cost the same as the
bi-metal equivalents which they replace, and are just
as simple to use. They now mount directly onto
the contactor.
Communication is the key. Sophisticated electronic

protection relays, such as the LT6, have facilities for
communicating with programmable controllers and
control systems. They can provide information on
faults, and details of operating conditions, allowing
trends to be detected and analysed. Even better,
Electronic technology is improving the functionality,

and changing the role of the motor starter but, to
get the best from such fast developing technology,
requires the support of a dependable partner.
Telemecanique has the products and expertise to
provide that support, now and in the future.
More protection
Sometimes, motor drive systems need more than
just thermal overload protection and, once again,
electronic chip-based technology can help. The
Telemecanique LT6 multifunction digital protection
relay, for example, combines precision thermal
protection with protection against phase imbalance,
phase failure, earth fault and overheating (PTC) with
inbuilt optional protection against protracted run-up
time, underload, excessive torque, incorrect phase
sequence, and out-of-tolerance supply voltage.
Even in the most critical applications, the LT6
normally provides all the protection thats needed.
Whatever your motor starting requirements,

Telemecanique offers a range of proven solutions
matched to the needs of modern industry.
they can provide warnings of an impending trip

condition, giving the control system or the plant
operator time to take avoiding action, and to
eliminate plant downtime.
Nor is the communication all one way.
Telemecanique LT6 relays can be remotely reconfigured, allowing, for example, the control
system to set different parameters automatically
when a plant is switched from manufacturing one
type of product to another.

Solutions from Telemecanique

Component co-ordination in motor starters
Single-component solutions
Three-component solutions
Selection of components for use in a motor starter combination should be based

on the following criteria:
For the vast majority of straightforward motor

starting requirements up to 30kW, fully integrated
single-component products in the Integral range are
an ideal and economical choice. Integral Control and
Protective Switching (CPS) devices offer a true
black-box solution, with fit-and-forget performance,
even after being subjected to fault conditions.
All products in the range are fully tested to
BS EN 60947-6-2, and automatically offer total
co-ordination under all operating conditions.
Selection tables are provided on pages 22 and 23.
Telemecanique contactors, used in conjunction with

Merlin Gerin magnetic-only MCCBs or GEC Alsthom
HRC fuses, and LR2 bimetal thermal or LR9
electronic overload relays, offer an exceptional
versatile choice of motor starting options. The range
of options is increased still further by choosing an
LT6 multifunction protection relay in place of
standard overloads. Details of tested and proven
combinations are provided in the tables on pages
18, 19 and 20.
Thermal overload selected to allow a current setting for the rated full load current
of the motor.
SCPD (Fuse, circuit breaker or CPS device) selected to provide an
overload/SCPD crossover current value which allows correct motor starting,
protection of the overload and contactor under short circuit conditions, and is
suitable for use at the prospective short circuit current.
Selection of a contactor having a suitable AC3 rating with a breaking capacity
greater than the SCPD/overload crossover current, and, when used with class 20
or class 30 overloads, an adequate time/current withstand capability.
Two-component solutions
Many users prefer the convenience of a resettable
circuit breaker to the use of replaceable HRC fuses.
In this situation, Telemecanique contactors, used in
conjunction with GV2 or GV7 motor circuit breakers
having a motor overload characteristic, provide an
attractive solution. GV2 and GV7 motor circuit
breakers are specifically designed for use in motor
starter circuits, and combine overload and shortcircuit protection in a single device. Full coordination is assured for the tested and proven
combinations listed in the tables on pages 20 and 21.

Safety
Future-proofing
In modern industry, all practicable steps must be

taken to ensure the safety of personnel. Safety is
not an option its a legal obligation backed by the
full force of the law. Every employer and employee
has a duty to ensure safety.
Modern industry needs the support of new

technology to help it compete in fast-changing
world markets. Telemecanique motor starters
incorporating electronic chip technology are now
available, which give better and more versatile
protection than ever before, reducing the incidence
of costly failures.
Motor starters which feature Type 2 co-ordination

contribute significantly toward ensuring safety, but
remember that Type 2 may not be the complete
answer. Telemecanique has the starter solutions
which go beyond Type 2.
Reliability and continuity of service
This technology also makes it possible for starters

to communicate, warning of potential faults before
they happen, and allowing protection parameters to
be changed. With their advanced chip technology,
Telemecanique starters become a fully integrated
and intelligent part of the plants control system.
Telemecanique offers the UKs widest range of

motor starting options, whether the application
demands a one-, two- or three-component
solution. Solutions provide co-ordination to Type
2 requirements and beyond.
Telemecanique has built its unrivalled expertise
into every motor starter, so as to make life easy
for designers and safe for users.
Only Telemecanique offers integrated CPS
starters tested and certified to BS EN 60947-6-2,
the true fit-and-forget black-box products.
Telemecanique products are proven in service
and have been tested and certified by accredited
LOVAG authorities. Ask to see the proof!
Telemecanique products are readily available

through the nationwide Telemecanique distributor
network.
Every Telemecanique starter, and every
Telemecanique product, is backed by the
unrivalled expertise and support of the Schneider
Electric organisation.
Where Type 2 co-ordination is required for
starting methods other than DOL (star delta, soft
start, etc.), Telemecanique can provide guidance
on the components needed, which will come as
close as is possible to the tested certified
Type 2 solutions.
Todays competitive environment means that no

business can afford to have plant out of action.
Neither can it afford to support a large maintenance
team, or to employ specialists whose knowledge is
only occasionally required. The logical alternative is
to employ dependable equipment, which requires
little or no maintenance.
Motor starters which feature Type 2 co-ordination
provide a partial answer, but Telemecanique CPS
starters go beyond Type 2. They guarantee reliable
operation under all conditions, and offer true
fit-and-forget maintenance-free performance.
