Time between rampings
To prevent the semiconduc-
tors from overheating, a cer-
tain time between ramping
should be allowed. The time
between rampings depends
on the motor current during
ramping and ramp time (see
tables below).

Fusing Considerations
The motor controller provides
by-passing of the semicon-
ductors during running opera-
tion. Therefore the semicon-
ductors can only be damaged
by short-circuit currents dur-
ing ramp-up and ramp-down
function.
A 3-phase induction motor
with correctly installed and
adjusted overload protection
does not short totally between
lines or directly to earth as
some other types of loads,
e.g. heater bands. In a failing
motor there will always be
some part of a winding to limit
the fault current. If the motor
is installed in an environment
where the supply to the motor
cannot be damaged, the short
circuit protection can be con-
sidered to be acceptable if the
controller is protected by a 3-
pole thermal-magnetic over-
load relay (see table below).
If the risk of short circuit of the
motor cable, the controller or
the load exists, then the con-
troller must be protected by
ultrafast fuses, e.g. for a 3 A
type: Ferraz 660 gRB 10-10,
for an 12 A type: Ferraz 660
gRB 10-25. Fuseholder type
PST 10.

Example:
Line voltage: 230/400 V
Motor 1.5 HP: 1.1 kW
Full load current: 2.9 A
Step 1:
Select overload relay:
In this example GV 2 - M 08,
MS 325 - 4 or KTA 3-25-4A
must be used.
Step 2:
Select motor controller:
For line voltage 230/400 V and
overload, relay GV 2 - M 08 or
MS 325 - 4 with a setting of
2.9 A type RSE 40 03 -B can
be selected.
N.B.: For motors with full load
current from 12 A to 40 A, see
types RSC/RSO.
