[ I ] The POWERTRON starter Ver5
The POWERTORON Ver5 differs from formerly version in the following function.
Utilize the function as equipped with CT.
(The CT range must fixed and arranged their own system)

I) The soft stop function (The water hammer prevention)

As for the after stop action, the motor turn falls gradually.

2) The step up function

The motor current increased after the motor started.
It will done the maximum value, then after it must fall down.
The controlled input voltage will stepped up to 100% immediately.

3) The (OC) over current detection function

In the set electric current, when detecting a crossing electric current, it outputs
an over-current caution.
It stops the control of the SCR at the same time and the electric machine stops.

4) The (2PH) phase fail detection function

When detecting a lost any phase after start, it outputs a phase fail caution about
5 seconds later.
It stops the control of the SCR at the same time and the electric machine stops.

5) The (N-CRR) no electric-current detection function

In case of no detected current after the starting.
When passing for 20 seconds after start and the electric current isn't making, it
outputs no electric-current caution.
It stops the control of the SCR at the same time and the electric machine stops.

6) The following output effected in the control.

1) RY4 : During build-up a-contact must "ON" for the output
(It will "OFF" in the build-up completion or shut down).
2) RYI Phase fail, a-contact must "ON" for the output
3) RY2 Over current, a-contact must "ON" for the output
4) RY3 No current, a-contact must "ON" for the output

7) The CT input makes secondary electric current lA or 5A .

The lA as the control to have supposed that is 0. 7 A.
The 5A as the control to have supposed that is 3.5 A.

8) The control made of soft start and constant current start is same as conventional
POWERTRON model of VR3.

9) The reset function

It is possible to do the reset (the initialization) of the control (the
start, the alarm) by the addition of the switch.
( The connector input made short-circuit, it is possible to do
initialization of control.)

P.OTATION

U and V ofUVW and X andY ofXYZ must be changed respective side.

4) For the two way rotation, the similar change as above must be made.
In this case, it is very important that there absolutely needs no change in RST.
Note:

If phase at RST is changed in order to alter rotate direction, the

motor does not rotate as specified in the item 4) above means.

5) When using a positive reverse turn in both, too, don't replace R.S.T aspect on the side of
the power supply and replace an aspect on the sides U.V.W and X.Y.Z of the electric
machine terminal respectively.

Caution:
When replacing an aspect of R.S.T of the side of the power supply when changing the
direction of the turn, of the 1) clause becomes not formed and the electric machine doesn't
start normally.
The careful confirmation is necessary because there is a case where the bump vibration
occurs.

[ 5] Checking before use
When the installation and wiring works are completed.
Perform the following inspection must be made before operation.

1) Wiring error?
2) Short circuit?
3 ) Grounding?
4) Loose screws and terminals ?

When conducting MEG·ohm test, strictly observe the following point :

1) There are 3 plugs of gate as Gl,G2,Kl,K2 for SCR(R,S,T phase) and 5 pulugs
of control on the PCB.
It pulls out 3plugs of gate (J3,J4,J5), and J1, J2, J6, J7, J8 respectively.
It separates PCB from the test voltage totally or each one of the plug.
It confirms an installation condition and it is PCB input·output pin.
It must made no voltage and the no potential difference.
It removes a fuse on the primary and secondary of the 3phase.
Also pulling out primary and secondary connector of the neutral PCB.
It recommended referring to the schematic drawing.
2) When execute the test of PCB, it must use the range of the check meter at the high esistance.

Though all the above have been set when shipped out from our factory, kindly re·check
before use.

In addition when not putting m CT input, the following function does not

operate.

1) Unusual over-current detection.

2) Phase- fail detection at the time of operation.
3) Non·current alarm detection.
4) Step up system
When not equipping CT, the four above·mentioned functions do not operate.
However soft starting and constant current starting and a soft stop functions operate
normally.

11
2 ) Setup of a constant current starting system.
Like a purifier or a blower, even when the big load of inertia power enlarges
acceleration torque, motor is not immediately put into operation only by capacity
becoming a power-supply large.
Iflong time is spent and it starts with the minimum torque which can accelerate
a motor, a motor can be put into operation even ifthe capacity of a power supply
is small.

Powertron can set up constant current starting.

Constant current starting is the same as setting up the tap of an auto transformer
arbitrarily. it means that a step up of tap less can be performed.
If constant current soft starting is adopted, load can be put into operation even if
it does not enlarge capacity of a power supply.

Constant current starting is fundamentally operated by change of the following

voltage and current .

Setup of Constant-current starting system, an alarm setup, and a display.
Although the switch on the above-mentioned control board (PCB) is the same as
that of a setup of a soft starting system, a setup of constant current starting
turns on S3-3 switch.

Alarm detection and a display choose a required setup like a soft starting system.

I 1) When putting a motor into

operation, it switches on in the point <D at the time of starting a motor and a motor
starts. The input voltage of a motor is surely OV at the time of switch·on.
2) Voltage reaches point® in 0.5seconds, and a motor begins rotation. (VR8)
3) Then, voltage rises toward ® to @. (VR9)
4) In connection with it, the torque of (E) occurs and starting current of (C) goes up .
5) If VR8 is turned clockwise to raise the initial voltage of starting, it will shift to the
point of ® and initial voltage will become high.
6) Please turn VR9 counterclockwise to raise the accelemtion under starting more.
As for voltage, the inclination of a voltage rise becomes large from ® points toward @
points.
7) The generating torque under starting becomes always higher than the torque ofload,
load in the characteristic torque of a motor is surely put into operation, and a stole is
not carried out.

POWERTRON controls only input voltage to a motor. Starting current goes up in

proportion to voltage.
Therefore starting current change greatly with characteristics of a motor.

8) If a step up function is given to setting current after starting current of (C) exceeds a
peak, the step up of the input voltage will be carried out from that time at full voltage.

13)·2 Constant current starting
The following figure illustrates the starting characteristic at the time of a constant
current starting.

Even when the big load of inertia power enlarges acceleration torque, acceleration of a
motor cannot be performed immediately but only input electric power becomes large.
Constant current starting input fixed voltage which can accelerate load into a motor ,and a
motor makes it accelerate. If rotation of a motor goes up to near 70% of rated rotation, the
input voltage of a motor will be raised gradually after that.

If it does so, input electric power can put [that it is small and] into operation.
Moreover- It is effective when the load torque in early stage of starting puts big
equipment into operation .

7) If you judge that acceleration torque is insufficient, please turn VR8 clockwise.
Voltage becomes the height of 7, and voltage is moved like ®--->@--->@

[14 ] Maintenance
SCR (SCR) currently used for Powertron is designed so that it can fully be
equal to severe operation within capacity.
However, as for SCR, it is conditions that the temperature of the center
an element operates at the temperature of 120°C or less.
Therefore, since heat dissipation is reduced, the impurity of a heat sink
and a cooling fan's defect become the cause of overheating of SCR.
You have to act check and cleaning as a heat sink and a cooling fan sometimes.

21
 (1) A check of the abnormalities of Powetron.
Check of Powertron is performed as follows.
After intercepting the main power-supplies switch, please measure each
resistance of the unit terminals U,V,W<R,S, and T using a tester.
You have to use the tester of the range ofx lKQ.

It becomes the following value when normal

(2) The check of SCR(SCR)

The following check will ne performed if SCR is considered to be fault with the check
of (1) clause.
There are the following four terminals in SCR of each phase.
Gl, G2, K1, K2.

* The above-mentioned check turns into three check, R phase, S phase, T phase.
* Moreover 1 or more Meg Q of insulated value is required between grounds.
* Damage of SCR is rare as long as SCR of the element ofPowertron is used by the
operation within specification.
* A control board (PCB) is used. Many capacitors are used for PCB
* By the maker of a capacitor , it is said that a capacitor will have a life for 8 years.
* However the variation in the quality of a product is also considered to be a certain thing,
and a new substitute will be recommended PCB at once in 5 years.

 A'ITENTION TO USE SAFETY

* Before the installation, the wiring ,operation and maintenance and a check,
often use "the treatment manual", "the treatment guide" on the reading.
* When the manner of using isn't appropriate, there is possibility to cause
a serious injury accident.
* As for taking on the treatment of the sterter, keep the following item.
DANGER

* Always switch off the power supply and do establishment, removal,

wiring work and maintenance and a check.
** During turning on, don't touch electrical parts such as the terminal.
There is possibility to connect with the burn and the serious injury accident
by being shocked and the short circuit.

CAUTION

* The one which has damage, transformation in unpacking doesn't use.

It causes the fire, the malfunction, the trouble.
* Don't have an impact of the fall, the tumble and on the product when
establishing. It causes the damaging and the trouble.
* The technical expert who has the expertise of the electricity construction
electricity wiring and so on do establishment, a wiring connection,
maintenance and a check.
* As for the use environment and stocking, observe the mention of the
treatment manual strictly.
Don't install in the environment which has a high temperature,
a high humidity, a dew fall, dust,
corrode· ability gas, organic solvent, much vibration and an impact.
It causes the fire, the malfunction, being shocked, making the trouble.
* Use for a treatment manual in the fixed case voltage, the electric current
of the mention.
The use except the fixed case causes the grounding, the short circuit,
the fire, the breakdown, the malfunction.
* The wiring use the wire ofthe thickness which has a plenty ofleeway by
considering a turning on electric current.
There is fear which causes a fire when making a mistake in the wiring.
* The terminal screw check whether or not there is not loosening regularly.
There is fear which causes a fire when the fastening·up of a terminal
screw is insufficient.
* The thyristor (SCR) be careful of the ventilation in the part sufficiently.
* There is fear that thyristor (SCR) overheats and that it damages when the
ventilation is insufficient.
It sometimes changes the outward appearance, the specification of the goods of this
data carrying without the previous announcement.
Please understand beforehand.
