General Overview

1.4 General Overview of a Reduced Voltage Starter
The RediStart MX motor starter is a microprocessor-controlled starter for single or three-phase induction motors. The starter can be custom designed for specific applications. A few of the features are:
• Solid state design. • Reduced voltage starting and soft stopping. • Closed-loop motor current control, power control, torque control. • Programmable motor protection. • Programmable operating parameters. • Programmable metering.
Each starter can operate within applied line voltage and frequency values of 100VAC to 600VAC (optional 1000VAC) and 23 to 72Hz.
The starter can be programmed for any motor FLA and all of the common motor service factors. It enables operators to control both motor acceleration and deceleration. It can also protect the motor and its load from damage that could be caused by incorrect phase rotation, normally caused by wiring changes after startup.
The starter continually monitors the current being supplied to each phase of motor. This protects the motor from overheating or from excess current. The starter will automatically stop the motor if the Phase to Phase line current is not within acceptable configurable ranges or if the current is lost in a line.
Features The enhanced engineering features of the starter include:
• Multiple frame sizes • Universal voltage operation • Universal frequency operation • Programmable motor overload multiplier • Controlled acceleration and deceleration • Phase rotation protection • Regulated current control • Electronic motor thermal overload protection • Electronic over/under current protection • Single phase protection • Line-to-line current imbalance protection • Stalled motor protection • Programmable metering • Passcode protected • Programmable Relays • Analog output with digital offset and span adjustment • Analog input with digital offset and span adjustment

2.6.7 Solid State Motor Overload
The MX control has an advanced I2t electronic motor overload (OL) protection function. For optimal motor protection the MX control has forty standard NEMA style overload curves (in steps of one) available for use. Separate overloads can be programmed, one for acceleration and another for normal running operation. The overloads can be individually, the same or completely disabled if necessary. The MX motor overload function also implements a NEMA based current imbalance overload compensation, user adjustable hot and cold motor compensation and user adjustable exponential motor cooling. For more detailed information, please refer to Section 7 of the software manual, Solid State Motor Overload Protection.

Control Board Layout
36
3.1 Site Preparation
General Information
Before the starter can be installed, the installation site must be prepared. The customer is responsible for:
• Providing the correct power source. • Providing the correct power protection. • Selecting the control mechanism. • Obtaining the connection cables, lugs and all other hardware • Ensuring the installation site meets all environmental specifications for the enclosure NEMA rating. • Installing and connecting the motor.
Power Cables
The power cables for the starter must have the correct NEC/CSA current rating for the unit being installed. Depending upon the model, the power cables can range from a single #14 AWG conductor to four 750 MCM cables. (Consult local and national codes for selecting wire size)
Site Requirements
The installation site must adhere to the applicable starter NEMA/CEMA rating. For optimal performance, the installation site must meet the appropriate environmental and altitude requirements
Mounting
The starter must be mounted so the heat sink fins are vertically oriented in an area that does not experience excessive shock or vibration. All models require airway passages around the heat sink. During normal operation the heat sink may reach 194 degrees Fahrenheit (90 degrees Centigrade). Do not install the starter in direct contact with any materials that cannot withstand these temperatures.
3.2 Installation Precautions
General Information
Installation of some models may require halting production during installation. If applicable, ensure that the starter is installed when production can be halted long enough to accommodate the installation. Before installing the starter, ensure:
• The wiring diagram (supplied separately with the starter) is correct for the required application. • The starter is the correct current rating and voltage rating for the motor being started. • All of the installation safety precautions are followed. • The correct power source is available. • The starter control method has been selected. • The connection cables have been obtained. (LUGS and associated mounting hardware) • The necessary installation tools and supplies are procured. • The installation site meets all environmental specifications for the starter NEMA/CEMA rating. • The motor being started has been installed and is ready to be started. • Any power factor correction capacitors (PFC) are installed on the power source side of the starter and not on the motor side.
Failure to remove power factor correction or surge capacitors from the load side of the starter will result in serious damage to the starter that will not be covered by the starter warranty. The capacitors must be connected to the line side of the starter. The up-to-speed (UTS) contact can be used to energize the capacitors after the motor has reached full speed.

Safety Precautions
To ensure the safety of the individuals installing the starter, and the safe operation of the starter, observe the following guidelines:
• Ensure that the installation site meets all of the required environmental conditions (Refer to Site Preparation, page 36). • LOCK OUT ALL SOURCES OF POWER. • Install circuit disconnecting devices (i.e., circuit breaker, fused disconnect or non-fused disconnect) if they were not
previously installed by the factory as part of the package.
• Install short circuit protection (i.e., circuit breaker or fuses) if not previously installed by the factory as part of the package.
• Consult Table 11, Table 12 and Table 13 Power Ratings for the fault rating.
• Follow all NEC (National Electrical Code) and/or C.S.A. (Canadian Standards Association) standards or Local Codes as applicable.
• Remove any foreign objects from the interior of the enclosure, especially wire strands that may be left over from installation wiring.
• Ensure that a qualified electrician installs wiring. • Ensure that the individuals installing the starter have protective eyewear and clothing. • Ensure the starter is protected from debris, metal shavings and any other foreign objects.
The opening of the branch circuit protective device may be an indication that a fault current has been interrupted. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, current carrying parts and other components of the starter should be inspected and replaced if damaged.
3.3 Installation Procedures
3.3.1 Installation Procedures
To begin installation:
• Read and follow all of the installation safety precautions. • Procure the necessary installation tools and any supplies. • Ensure the site has sufficient lighting for safe installation. • Move the starter to the installation site. Ensure that the starter is positioned so that the cabinet door has ample clearance, and
all of the controls are accessible.
If the starter is to be wall mounted:
• Mount the starter on the applicable surface using the appropriate hardware.
NOTE: Moving some models may require more than one individual or lifting equipment (e.g., forklift or crane).
NOTE: The RB/RC Power Chassis is built with all Metric Hardware.
3.3.2 Wiring Practices
When making power and control signal connections, the following should be observed:
• Never connect input AC power to the motor output terminals T1/U, T2/V, or T3/W. • Power wiring to the motor must have the maximum possible separation from all other wiring. Do not run control wiring in the
same conduit; this separation reduces the possibility of coupling electrical noise between circuits. Minimum spacing between metallic conduits containing different wire groups should be three inches (8cm).
• Minimum spacing between different wiring groups in the same tray should be six inches. • Wire runs outside an enclosure should be run in metallic conduit or have shielding/armor with equivalent attenuation. • Whenever power and control wiring cross it should be at a 90 degrees angle. • Different wire groups should be run in separate conduits.
3 – INSTALLATION
Control Board Layout
38
• Good wiring practice also requires separation of control circuit wiring from all power wiring. Since power delivered from the starter contains high frequencies while starting and may cause interference with other equipment, do not run control wires in the same conduit or raceway with power or motor wiring.
NOTE: Local electrical codes must be adhered to for all wiring practices.
3.3.2.1 Considerations for Signal Wiring
Signal wiring refers to the wires connected to the control terminal strip that are low voltage signals, below 15V.
• Shielded wire is recommended to prevent electrical noise interference from causing improper operation or nuisance tripping. • Signal wire rating should carry as high of a voltage rating as possible, normally at least 300V. • Routing of signal wire is important to keep as far away from control and power wiring as possible.
3.3.2.2 Considerations for Control and Power Wiring
Control wiring refers to wires connected to the control terminal strip that normally carry 24 to 115V and Power wiring refers to the line and load connections made to terminals L1/R, L2/S, L3/T, and T1/U, T2/V, T3/W respectively. Select power wiring as follows:
• Use only UL or CSA recognized wire. • Wire voltage rating must be a minimum of 300V for 230VAC systems and 600V (Class 1 wire) for 460VAC and 600VAC
systems. • Use a line disconnect in conjunction with fuses on the incoming power lines. • Grounding must be in accordance with NEC, CEC or local codes. If multiple starters are installed near each other, each must
be connected to ground. Take care to not form a ground loop. The grounds should be connected in a STAR configuration. • Wire must be made of copper and rated 60/75°C for units 124 Amps and below. Larger amp units may use copper or
aluminum wire. Refer to NEC table 310-16 or local codes for proper wire selection.
3.3.2.3 EMC Installation Guidelines
General In order to help our customers comply with European electromagnetic compatibility standards, Benshaw Inc. has developed the following guidelines.
Attention This product has been designed for Class A equipment. Use of the product in domestic environments may cause radio interference, in which case the installer may need to use additional mitigation methods.
Enclosure Install the product in a grounded metal enclosure.
Grounding Connect a grounding conductor to the screw or terminal provided as standard on each controller. Refer to layout/power wiring schematic for grounding provision location.
Wiring Refer to Wiring Practices on page 37.
Filtering To comply with Conducted Voltage Limits, a high voltage (1000V or greater) 0.33 uF capacitor should be connected from each input line to ground at the point where the line enters the cabinet.

3.4.1 CT Ratio Scaling
The motor current signal scaling is set according to the motor size and the application specified when the starter is ordered. To ensure accurate operation, the motor current signal must be correctly scaled for the motor (and its application) being controlled by the starter. Motor current signal scaling may have to be changed if:
• Motor size has been changed from the original specification.
• Motor load has been changed from the original application.
Motor current signal scaling is accomplished by verifying the current transformer ratio as supplied with the starter and then selecting the correct DIP switch setting from the chart on the following page for the current transformer ratio. The DIP switches are:
Figure 35 – CT Inputs and CT switches
• ON in the RIGHT position
• OFF in the LEFT position
• Refer to Figure 18 – Control Board Layout for actual location of switches
NOTE: The applicable ratio is stamped on each CT. Adjust the DIP switches only when there is no current being supplied to the motor, or the switches could be damaged.
NOTE: See CT Ratio Parameters FUN 03, P68
3.4.1.1 CT Polarity
The CT has a polarity that must be correct for the starter to correctly measure Watts, kW Hours, Power Factor, and for the Power and TruTorque motor control functions to operate properly.
Each CT has a dot on one side of the flat surfaces. This dot, normally white in color, must be facing in the direction of the line.
The CT can be placed either before or after the starter. In specific applications, like Inside Delta and a starter with a DC brake, the CT’s must be before the starter.
CT1 must be on Line L1 (R), CT2 must be on Line L2 (S), CT3 must be on Line L3 (T).
3.4.1.2 Confirm Switch Settings
To verify or change the motor current signal scaling:
• Compare the CT ratio stamped on each CT to the CT ratio listed on the wiring diagram supplied with the starter to ensure the correct CTs are installed.
• Inspect the control card to ensure that the DIP switches are in the correct positions for the applicable CT ratio and the motor full-load Amps (FLA).

3.5 RBX, Power Stack, Integral Bypass or Separate
3.5.1 Introduction
The RBX power stacks combine the SCR and heatsinks with integrated bypass contactors. Two styles of SCR and heatsinks are used in the RBX product line. The first is the use of an isolated heatsink with dual flat pack SCR modules mounted on the heatsink. This style is used up to 96A. The second style uses hockey puck SCR devices, which are sandwiched between two pieces of heatsink. In this style, the heatsinks are not isolated; in fact they carry the current for the associated phase.
3.5.2 Motor Connections
Illustrated below are two common connections of asynchronous motors that are connected to a solid state motor starter.
3.5.2.1 Line Connected Soft Starter
In Figure 37, the power poles of the soft starter are connected in series with the line. The starter draws line current (L1 ,L2 ,L3 ).

For an Inside Delta connected motor, the inside windings average SCR current is less than that of the outside average line current by a factor of 1.55 (FLA/1.55). By comparison of Figure 37 and Figure 38, the most obvious advantage of the inside delta starter is the reduction of current seen by the soft starter. The soft starter current rating can be downsized by a factor of 1.55, providing significant savings in cost and size of the starter.
An inside delta soft starter can also be considered for motors with more than 6 leads, including 12 lead dual voltage motors.
NEMA and IEC use different nomenclature for motor terminal markings, for 3 and 6 leaded motors.
NEMA labels motors leads, 1,2,3,4,5,6, IEC labels motor leads, U1, V1, W1, U2, V2, W2
3.5.3 Application Consideration between Line Connected and Inside Delta Connected Soft Starter
There are differences between a line connected soft starter as shown in Figure 37 and the inside delta connected soft starter as shown in Figure 38.
By observation of Figure 38, access to all six stator-winding terminals is required for an inside delta application. In the line connected soft starter of Figure 37, access to only three leads of the stator windings of the motor is required. For a 12-lead motor, all 12 stator terminals must be accessible.
One failed SCR on any phase of the inside delta soft starter will result in a single-phase condition. A in line contact or shunt trip circuit breaker is recommended to protect the motor. A programmable relay can be configured as a shunt trip relay and can be used to trip the breaker. When certain faults occur, the shunt trip relay energizes. Refer to Appendix B for those faults that cause a shunt trip.
The SCR control for an inside delta application is different than the SCR control for a standard soft starter. The starter type (parameter FUN 07 or P64) needs to be properly set so that the SCRs are gated correctly.

Control & Power Schematics

If a circuit breaker is the only means to disconnect the soft starter and motor from the line, then one leg of the motor leads in the inside delta soft starter is always electrically live when the circuit breaker is closed. This requires caution to ensure these leads of the motor are not exposed to personnel.
3.5.4 Motor Lead Length
The standard starter can operate a motor with a maximum of 2000 feet of properly sized cable between the “T” leads of the starter and that of the motor. For wire runs greater than 2000 feet contact Benshaw Inc. for application assistance. If shielded cable is used, consult factory for recommended length.
3.5.5 Bypass Contactor
3.5.5.1 Integral Bypass
The RBX power stack has an integrated contactor that is used to bypass the SCR once the motor is up to speed. The contactor is sized to handle the current of the motor while running, but is NOT sized to start or stop the motor, this is the function of the solid state starter. The bypass contactor is used to reduce the heat that would be generated if the SCR’s were not bypassed. While bypassed, the SCR’s continue to file even though the contactor is bypassing SCR.
3.5.5.2 Separate Bypass
In some starters, the contactor is sized to accommodate a full line start. This variation is typically used as a backup, if for some reason the solid state starter cannot start the motor.
Benshaw Inc. offers bypass contactor ratings from AC1/definite purpose for bypassing the SCR’s to NEMA rating used for full voltage starting and plugging.
3.5.6 Incoming Line
3.5.6.1 Recommended Incoming Line Protection
Circuit Breaker, Refer to Table 11 & Table 12
Fuses Refer to Table 11 & Table 12
Input Line Requirements
The input line source needs to be an adequate source to start the motor, generally 2 times the rating of the motors FLA. (This may not apply in some cases such as being connected to a generator).
The starter may not work correctly when connected to corner grounded delta or split –T (wild leg) connections. Consult factory when this type of source is to be used.
3.5.6.2 Use of Power Factor Capacitors
Power factor correction capacitors and surge capacitors CAN NOT be connected between the starter and the motor. These devices can damage the SCRs during ramping. These devices appear like a short circuit to the SCR when it turns on, which causes a di/dt level greater than the SCR can handle. If used, power factor correction capacitors or surge capacitors must be connected ahead of the starter and sequenced into the power circuit after the start is completed. A programmable relay can be configured as an up-to-speed (UTS) relay and then used to pull-in a contactor to connect the capacitors after the motor has reached full speed.
NOTE: If the motor manufacturer supplies surge capacitors they should be removed before starting

3.5.7 Use of Electro-Mechanical Brakes
If an electro-mechanical brake is used with the starter, it must be powered from the line side of the starter to ensure full voltage is applied to the brake during a start so it will properly release. A programmable relay can be set to a run and then used to pull-in a contactor to power the brake whenever the starter is providing power to the motor.
3.6 Power Wiring
Thread the power and motor cables through the correct connector plate opening. Strip away the motor cable insulation and apply anti-oxidation paste to the conductors, if applicable.
Attach the motor cables:
• Use the T1, T2 and T3 terminals. Use lugs/crimps or terminals. (Lugs and Crimps are to be provided by the user)
Attach the power source cables:
• Use the L1, L2 and L3 terminals. Use lugs/crimps or terminals (Lugs and Crimps are to be provided by the user)

3.6.2 Recommended Wire Gauges
The wire gauge selection is based on the FLA of the motor. Refer to NEC table 310-16 or CEC Part 1, Table 2 or local code requirements for selecting the correct wire sizing. Ensure appropriate wire derating for temperature is applied. If more than three current carrying conductors are in one conduit, ensure NEC table 310.15(B)(2) is adhered to. In some areas local codes may take precedence over the NEC. Refer to your local requirements.

3.7 Mounting Considerations
3.7.1 Bypassed Starters
Provisions should be made to ensure that the temperature inside the enclosure never rises above 50°C. If the temperature inside the enclosure is too high, the starter can be damaged or the operational life can be reduced.
3.7.2 Non-Bypassed Starters (with out bypass)
Provisions should be made to ensure that the temperature inside the enclosure never rises above 50°C. If the temperature inside the enclosure is too high, the starter can be damaged or the operational life can be reduced. As a general rule of thumb, the following ventilation guidelines can be followed.

4.1 Introduction
The MX Control provides a comprehensive set of parameters to allow the use of the reduced voltage solid state starter in nearly any industrial application. While the starter can meet the requirements of many applications right out of the box, customization of parameter values to better suit your particular application is easily accomplished with the standard, on-board, 4-digit, 7-segment LED display/keypad, a remote display/keypad, or via remote serial communication.
The MX control has two remote keypads and displays that are optional equipment; a remote 4-digit, 7-segment LED display and a 2x16-backlit LCD display. Both keypads have the same keys as the standard display with several additional keys including start and stop keys for operation of the starter from the keypad. When the remote keypad is connected, the local keypad and display are disabled.
4.2 Standard Keypad and Display
The LED display provides information on starter operation and programming. The 4-digit, 7-segment display shows starter meter outputs and programming data. Special symbols provide further information about the starter operation (see the following section).

5.4 SCR Testing
Resistance The SCR in the starter can be checked with a standard ohmmeter to determine their condition.
Remove power from the starter before performing these checks
Check from L to T on each phase. The resistance should be over 50k ohms.
Check between the gate leads for each SCR (red and white twisted pair). The resistance should be from 8 to 50 ohms.
NOTE: The resistance measurements may not be within these values and the SCR may still be good. The checks are to determine if an SCR is shorted “L” to “T” of if the gate in an SCR is shorted or open. An SCR could also still be damaged even though the measurements are within the above specifications.
Voltage When the starter is running, the operation of SCR can be confirmed with a voltmeter.
Extreme caution must be observed while performing these checks since the starter has lethal voltages applied while operating
While the starter is running and up to speed, use an AC voltmeter, check the voltage from “L” to “T” of each phase. The voltage should be less that 1.5 Volts. If the starter has a bypass contactor, the voltage drop should be less that 0.3 volts.
Using a DC voltmeter, check between the gate leads for each SCR (red and white twisted pair). The voltage should between 0.5 and 2.0 volts.
Integral Bypass A voltage check from “L” to “T” of each phase of the RediStart starter should be preformed every 6 months to confirm the bypass contactors are operating correctly.
Extreme caution must be observed while performing these checks since the starter has lethal voltages applied while operating
While the starter is running and Up to Speed, use an AC voltmeter; check the voltage from “L” to “T” of each phase. The voltage drop across the contactor contacts should be less than 300mV. If greater that 300mV the integral bypass should be disassembled. It may be necessary to clean the contact tips or replace the contactor.

clamp
5–TROUBLESHOOTING
94
5.5.3 SCR Clamp
Below is an exploded view of a typical SCR clamp. Refer to the Clamp Parts List for names of the parts being used.
5.5.4 SCR Removal
To remove the SCR from the heatsink, loosen the two bolts (3) on the loader bar side of the clamp. Do not turn on the nuts (5). The nuts have a locking ridge that sink into the aluminum heatsink. Do ¼ turns until the SCR comes loose. Remove the SCRs from the heatsink. Note: Do not loosen nut on indicator washer (6). This will change the clamping pressure of the clamp and the clamp will be defective.
5.5.5 SCR INSTALLATION
• Coat the faces of the SCRs to be installed with a thin layer of EJC. • Place the SCRs onto the dowel pins. The top SCR will have the cathode to the left and the bottom SCR will have
the cathode to the right. The SCR symbol has a triangle that points to the cathode. • Finger tighten nuts on the bolts.
5.5.6 Tightening Clamp
Finger tighten the clamp. Ensure both bolts are tightened an equal amount so that the loader bar (item 1) is square in the heatsink. Tighten the bolts equally in 1/8 turn increments until the indicator washer(s) (item 6), which are under the nut(s) in the center of the loader bar, becomes loose indicating the clamp is tight. On the loader bars with two indicator washers, it may be necessary to tighten or loosen one side of the clamp to get both indicator washers free.
5.5.7 Testing SCR
After the SCRs have been replaced, conduct the resistance test as defined in section 5.4

Appendix C – Alarm Codes
The following is a list of all MX alarm codes. The alarm codes correspond to associated fault codes. In general, an alarm indicates a condition that if continued, will result in the associated fault.
Alarm Code
Description Notes
A02 Motor Overload Alarm This occurs when the motor thermal content reaches the 90%. The MX will trip when it reaches 100%. The alarm will continue until the overload trip lockout is reset.
A10 Phase Rotation not ABC This alarm exists while the MX is stopped and line voltage is detected and phase sensitivity parameter is set to ABC. If a start is commanded, a Fault 10 will occur.
A11 Phase Rotation not CBA This alarm exists while the MX is stopped and line voltage is detected and phase sensitivity parameter is set to CBA. If a start is commanded, a Fault 11 will occur.
A12 Low Line Frequency This alarm exists when the MX has detected a line frequency below the user defined low line frequency level. The alarm will continue until either the line frequency changes to be in range or the fault delay timer has expired.
A13 High Line Frequency This alarm exists when the MX has detected a line frequency above the user defined high line frequency level. The alarm will continue until either the line frequency changes to a valid frequency or the fault delay timer has expired.
A14 Input power not single phase This alarm exists while the MX is stopped, set to single phase mode, and line voltage is detected. If a start is commanded, a Fault 14 will occur.
A15 Input power not three phase This alarm exists while the MX is stopped, set to a three-phase mode, and single-phase line voltage is detected. If a start is commanded, a Fault 15 will occur.
A21 Low Line L1-L2 This alarm exists while the MX is stopped and low line voltage is detected. If a start is commanded, a Fault 21 may occur.
A22 Low Line L2-L3 This alarm exists while the MX is stopped and low line voltage is detected. If a start is commanded, a Fault 22 may occur.
A23 Low Line L3-L1 This alarm exists while the MX is stopped and low line voltage is detected. If a start is commanded, a Fault 23 may occur.
A24 High Line L1-L2 This alarm exists while the MX is stopped and high line voltage is detected. If a start is commanded, a Fault 24 may occur.
A25 High Line L2-L3 This alarm exists while the MX is stopped and high line voltage is detected. If a start is commanded, a Fault 25 may occur.
A26 High Line L3-L1 This alarm exists while the MX is stopped and high line voltage is detected. If a start is commanded, a Fault 26 may occur.
A27 Phase Loss This alarm exists while the MX is running and a phase loss condition is detected, but the delay for the fault has not yet expired. When the delay expires, a Fault 27 will occur.
A28 No Line This alarm exists while the MX needs to be synced or is trying to sync to the line and no line is detected.
A31 Overcurrent This alarm exists while the MX is running and the average current is above the defined threshold, but the delay for the fault has not yet expired. When the delay expires, a Fault 31 will occur.
A34 Undercurrent This alarm exists while the MX is running and the average current is below the defined threshold, but the delay for the fault has not yet expired. When the delay expires, a Fault 34 will occur.
A35 Reserved

Alarm Code
Description Notes
A36 Reserved A37 Current Imbalance This alarm exists while the MX is running and a current
imbalance above the defined threshold is detected, but the delay for the fault has not yet expired. When the delay expires, a Fault 37 will occur.
A38 Ground Fault This alarm exists while the MX is running and a ground current above the defined threshold is detected, but the delay for the fault has not yet expired. When the delay expires, a Fault 38 will occur.
A47 Stack Overload Alarm This occurs when the stack thermal rises above 105%. A53 Reserved A71 Analog Input #1 Trip This alarm will exist if analog input #1 exceeds the defined
threshold, but the delay for the fault has not yet expired. When the delay expires, a Fault 71 will occur.
