AMVS computerized softstarter withChineseDisplayfor MV AC motorUserManualNanjing Aubo Electric Co.LtdProduct Feature:AMVS is the computerized digital soft starter for MV AC motor , with Chinese display. Its system uses the advanced single chip microcomputer, PLC controller and color touch screen HMI and high voltage power electronic semiconductor devices and modern control technology to integrate a new type of product of solid state starter and running protection of MV AC motor. In addition to the excellent starting function, this product also has a perfect comprehensive protection function of the motor running, can ensure that the motor and mechanical transmission equipment running in a safe and reliable operation of the various circumstances. Compared with other types of medium voltage motor soft starter (such as water resistance type), the soft starter consumes less energy in the process of starting , therefore it has the obvious energy saving effect, and itcan be used in the occasion of frequent starting. At the same time, since the soft starter is made of solid state devices, it has the long-term use of free maintenance, and a small equipment size, easy to move and a better vibration resistance as clear advantages. Further more, it has the following unique features and obvious advantages, becoming the ideal replacement of other traditional medium voltage soft starter.1.Starting of initial voltage can be set according to the actualsituation and need flexibly, as low as to 15% of the supply voltage, and the highest could be 90%, make the motor have a larger starting torque and small starting current, reducing the equipment operation requirement for power grid capacity, saving the investment of equipment. Reduce the impact stress to the motor and to the mechanical transimission part itself, and can prolong the service life of motor and transmission machinery.2.When starting， the initial start voltage, the start time andstarting current limit and so on, are available on color LCD touch screen to be easily set up and be implemented, and soft stop deceleration time can be set freely according to the requirementsslowing down and stop condition of equipment and motor.3. variety of starting mode ( reduced voltage starting ,constantcurrent starting) control to meet the various startingperformance requirements of the device.4.Perfect motor running protection function, can ensure the safetyof the equipment operation, protection function are like:a. protection alarm for input supply voltage high.b. protection alarm for input supply voltage low.c. the input power phase loss alarm.d. motor overload alarm for inverse time over current protection .medium voltage motor imbalanced current alarmf. motor start excess time protection alarm.g. the bypass contactor fault alarm.h. residual current leakage alarm for the equipment.i. the main three-phase thyristor power device breakdown damagealarm and display.j. short circuit instantaneous tripping alarm (which can be classified as current transformer range 0.1- 2.5 times current).5.The soft starter shows motor three-phase working current and theresidual current leakage, and the voltage of power supply, anddisplays the total motor running time, which is not affected bypower outages, to facilitate the understanding of the equipmentrunning total time, easy to carry out regular maintenance.6.The running parameters of display are colored Chinese touch screenman-machine interface, easy parameters setting is veryintuitive.7.According to user requirements it can privide profibus dpcommunication interface, and remote monitor computer networkingcommunication at the next higher level and to realize the remotecontrol.(please notify when ordering for other communicationneed)Touch screen panel shows the various parameter setting.The function description:Running time (RUNtime) : 0-9999 hour (H); The count value is for all previousrun time accumulated, after 9999 hours fullvalue, it goes automaticａｌｌｙback tozero.Every time after restart, the timingcounts again.Start Time: The unit is seconds; 0.1 99.9 seconds (S)Stop Time: The unit is seconds; 0.1 99.9 seconds (S)Overcurrent: The unit is A; it is generally set as about 1.2 times of rated current of motor nameplates.In the process of motorstarting, it doesn't work.When the soft starter goes into runstate, if the motor current is the same or more than the value,the controller will count the timing of inverse timeoverload .When it achieves the time set by overload time, thesoft starter will stop working and generate overload alarmsignal.overload time: 0.1-199.9 seconds (S); When the motor current exceed theset overload current value, such as thetime more than the set time,it producesoverload alarm. This time has theinverse time protection characteristics,that is, when the actual current exceedsthe set overload current value, the greaterthe current, the shorter the protectionｔｉｍｅ.start voltage: range: 10-90%; When starting voltage is corresponding to 10% 90% of the power supply voltage , the user can adjustit according to actual situation of devices.Residual current: The unit of the value is A, which is the actual signal detected from the residual current transformer, witha range of 0.01-9.99 A.The value displayed is the actualresidual current detected by the residual currenttransformer, which cannot be modified. When the userreplaces the transformer with different type, he must adjustP4 potentiometer of the control board to calibrate it.Start current limit: The unit is A: the current value is the maximum current value in the process of starting a motor.In theprocess of starting, when the motor starting current reachesthe value, the starter will limit the increase of thestarting current, the starting time value being the biggestprotection time.If due to the reason of too heavy load, thestart can not be completed in the set starting time, thestarter will stop and generate "starting overtime" alarm.If the equipment is normal, this can be resolved byincreasing the current limit value or increasing thestarting time. Please pay attention to this! The largest setvalue shall not exceed two times of the "mutual inductancecurrent" set value! When the start mode is selected as“reduced voltage", the parameter value is invalid.Current leakage protection: The unit of the value is A, with a range of 0.01-9.99 A.The set values is the trigger value ofleakage current protection.When the value is set to 0.00A, the function is invalid.This value is the value detectedby the residual current transducer on the output side ofsoft starter. When the output cable or the medium voltagemotor has a bad insulation to the ground and causes leakagecurrent to ground, if the leakage current detected isgreater than the set value, and duration time is greaterthan the set leakage time, the soft starter will immediatelystop and produce a fault alarm on the display(leakageblocking protection alarm) .When it is used for the firsttime, the value can be set to a maximum first. At the firststarting of equipment, the user should observe the maximumleakage current (usually during start), and the averageleakage current during run. When it comes to stop, set theparameter to a value 20-30% greater than the actual leakagecurrent .Current leakage delay: The unit of the value is second, with a range of ０．１-9.99 second.The set values is the delayvalue of leakage current protection.When the value is setas 0.0 seconds, it is the instantaneous protection action .Due to all kinds of complicated conditions of transmissioncable and medium voltage motor, the leakage current isbigger during start and is smaller during run, so settingthe appropriate time delay of the protection willeffectively avoid mis-operation of the leakage protection,that is, when the leakage current is beyond the above item ,the user should notice this.The leakage time delay functionbecomes invalid once the motor goes into run mode normally.Once the leakage current exceeds the set leakage currentprotection value, the soft starter will immediately stopand produce an alarm on the display (leakage blockingprotection alarm).Over voltage protection: The unit is KV: this parameter is to protect the device from working with too high power supply voltage.Generally it can be set at + 20% to + 25% higher than ratedvoltage .When the supply voltage exceeds the set value, thesoft starter will produce fault alarm on thedisplay.(power supply over voltage alarm)Under voltage protection: The unit is KV: this parameter is to protect the device from working with too low power supply voltage.Generally it can be set at -35% lower than the ratedvoltage .When the supply voltage is below the set value,the soft starter will produce fault alarm on thedisplay.(power supply under voltage alarm)Transducer current: The unit is A: this parameters is the internal transducer data set by manufacturer, which is only to bemodified after the engineer input the password.start mode: Normal mode: in this mode, the motor starts from the "initial voltage", a set low voltage , according to a setstart time to improve output voltage linearly, until theend of start time.Low-frequency mode: especially suitable for the equipmentwith large mechanical friction and larger mechanicalinertia .In this case, the starter starts with 25 hz frequency,making the motor produce large starting torque with smallerstart current , significantly extending the service life ofequipment. (this function is applicable only for users withspecial heavy duty start requirement) To be notify beforeorder.low frequency voltage: The value is the set voltage value of low frequency running.The password for engineer modification : the password is 168.Pressing the reset button will reset the passwordｔｏｚｅｒｏ．Description for the fault alarm displayed on the screen in Chinese character :Motor overload alarm: The motor current has surpassed the overloadcurrent protection current value, and time is alsomore than the set overload time delay value .the input power phase loss alarm: There is a phase loss of three-phaseinput power of power controller. The input power shouldbe checked.motor current abnormal alarm: The motor three-phase winding has a phaseloss or three phase current is seriously imbalanced.Excess start time alarm: This is the alarm happening in the processof start, initially activated due to the reason"starting current limit" value is too small or "starttime" value is too short. This can be avoided byincreasing “starting current limit value" or"starting time" value. After normal operation, thealarm is caused by overweighted mechanical load, thereason of which should be find out before next start.Bypass switch fault alarm: When the equipment completes start goes intorun, if the bypass contactor is not closed, that isto say, L1 contact does not connect contact I9, in 5seconds the starter will stop and send the alarm.Alarm for motor residual current leakage: When the leakage current signalof residual current transducer connected with theanalog input port LH1 and LH2 is greater than the setleakage current protection value, the soft starterwill stop and generate this alarm.When a user firstinstalls and uses the equipment, he should carry onthe leakage current range adjustment and calibration.Over voltage of power supply alarm: When the supply voltage exceedsthe "over voltage protection” set value, the powersupply voltage is beyond the protection value.Power supply under voltage alarm: When the supply voltage is belowthe "under voltage protection " set value, the powersupply voltage is beneath the protection value.Power assembly damage alarm: Is there any damage or breaking down ofthyristor pack of phase A, B, C of the starter mainline, it will report an alarm.Attention! When the soft starter conducts the low voltage 380 v commissioning, "protection device" of the keypad should be set as forbidden; otherwise, it will produce a false alarm.Upon the stop caused by the above alarm, after finding out the reason and troubleshooting, pressing (reset) button on the keypad can clear the alarm.Medium voltage soft starter functions and requirements of external terminal serial number:一．Iinput and output for external connectionUPSL; UPSN: input for external 220 v power supply, by connecting the power supply, all controls within the soft starter work swell based on it.AC7; AC8: terminal of the coil control for the soft starter bypass medium voltage vacuum contactor (coil working voltage is AC220V) LH1，LH2： The secondary detecting coil input of the external residual current transducer.COM: input function control common pointI0.0: stop enabling terminal of soft starter; Normally closed contact, disconnecting its connection with COM, soft starter stops.IO.1: start enabling terminal of soft starter; Normally open contact, disconnecting its connection with COM, soft starter starts.I0.2: remote alarm reset terminal; When the port connects with COM , the soft starter stops immediately and goes into the initialization reset.
