15. Types of Motor Starters
 The Motor Control Center (MCC) consists of one or more vertical metal cabinets
referred to as “sections.” Each section contains one or more fixed modular units,
that are employed to distribute power to discrete loads, such as motors and other
loads.
 MCC can be specified with a range of options such as separate control
transformers, ON/OFF/TRIP lamps, start / stop push button, control terminal blocks,
various types of thermal overload protection relays, circuit breakers and VFDs.
 MCC Panels have different types of starters i.e DOL, Star delta and VFDs
Direct Online starters (DOL):
 A DOL starter is a type of motor starter which is basically simple and attaches the
motor terminals directly to the power supply. It normally governs the performance
of an electric motor by applying the full line voltage to the motor terminals.
Star Delta starters (S/D):
 Star/Delta starters are probably the most common reduced voltage starters. They
are used in an attempt to reduce the start current applied to the motor during
start as a means of reducing the disturbances and interference on the electrical
supply.
Variable Frequency Drive (VFD):
 Variable-frequency drive (VFD) is a type of adjustable speed drive used in electro
-mechanical drive systems to control AC motor speed and torque by varying
motor input frequency and voltage.

28. Variable Frequency Drive
• The Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is a type of adjustable speed
drive used in electro -mechanical drive systems to control AC
motor speed and torque by varying motor
input frequency and voltage.
• The ABB HVAC drives fulfil IEC/EN 61000-3-12. This European
standard sets strict limits for harmonic currents produced by
products connected to the electrical network.
• Harmonic currents are forms of pollution on the electrical network.
The harmonics can cause several undesired effects - flickering
lights, failing computers and overheating of electrical equipment.
• The drive is programmed with several HVAC applications, including
supply and return fans, cooling tower fans, booster pumps and
condensers. The intelligence within the HVAC control panel means
that the user is given direct and understandable instructions in clear
text at all times.

29. Basic Principle of Operation
A VFD operates by converting the input sinusoidal AC voltage to DC voltage and then back to AC
voltage. This conversion occurs by using either silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs) or IGBTs. The DC
voltage is switched using IGBTs to create an AC output voltage (called the inverter). The IGBT can
switch on and off to create an AC voltage waveform that delivers power to the motor. The IGBTs
create an AC waveform by using pulse width-modulated (PWM) switching. The frequency at which the
switching occurs, which varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, is called “carrier frequency.”
A typical 6-pulse VFD has six diodes as a front-end bridge rectifier that converts AC to DC. VFDs can
also have 12 diodes — two sets per phase (2 × 2 × 3 = 12 pulse) — or 18 diodes — three sets per
phase (3 × 2 × 3 = 18 pulse) — and so on. One set of diodes is supplied by a Delta-Y transformer to
create a phase shift on the AC side between the two rectifiers to reduce harmonics reflected back to
the source.

(TYPICAL)

79. DOL & Star-Delta Starters
 The simplest form of motor starter for
the induction motor is the Direct On
Line starter. The Direct On Line Motor
Starter (DOL) consist a MCCB or Circuit
Breaker, Contactor and an overload
relay for protection. Electromagnetic
contactor which can be opened by
the thermal overload relay under fault
conditions.
 Typically, the contactor will be
controlled by separate start and stop
buttons, and an auxiliary contact on
the contactor is used, across the start
button, as a hold in contact. I.e. the
contactor is electrically latched closed
while the motor is operating.

80. Most induction motors are started directly on line, but when very large motors are
started that way, they cause a disturbance of voltage on the supply lines due to large
starting current surges. To limit the starting current surge, large induction motors are
started at reduced voltage and then have full supply voltage reconnected when they
run up to near rotated speed.
Traditionally in many supply regions, there has been a requirement to fit a reduced
voltage starter on all motors greater than 5HP (4KW). The Star/Delta (or Wye/Delta)
starter is one of the lowest cost electromechanical reduced voltage starters that can
be applied

81. Maintenance of DOL & Star-Delta Starters
1. Keep the interior dust
free.
2. Re-tighten terminal
screws from time to time.
3. No maintenance is
required for overload
relay
and switch. Do not open
them.
4. Blackening of silver
coated/alloyed contacts
does
not affect operational
life. If necessary, clean
the
contacts with white
5. If the conductor hums,
clean the pole faces with
soft cloth.
6. Replace contacts of the
contactor if they are
severely pitted or when
only 30% original

128. Safety Instructions
 The ACH550 should ONLY be installed by a qualified technician
 Even when the motor is stopped, dangerous voltage is present at the
power circuit terminals U1, V1, W1 and U2, V2, W2, and, depending on
the frame size, UDC+/BRK+ and UDC-/BRK-
 Dangerous voltage is present when input power is connected. After
disconnecting the supply, wait at least 5 minutes before removing the
cover. To check, measure for zero voltage at the DC terminals, which
are, depending on the frame size, UDC+/BRK+ and UDC-/BRK-
 Even when the power is switched off, there may be dangerous voltage
(from external sources) on the terminals of the relay outputs R01.R03
EXTRAS

129.  When the control terminals of two or more drive units are connected in parallel, the auxiliary
voltage for these control connections must be taken from a single source which can either be
one of the units or an external supply.
 The ACH550 is not a field repairable unit. Never attempt to repair a malfunctioning unit; contact
the factory or your local Authorized Service Center for replacement.
 The ACH550 will start up automatically after an input voltage interruption if the external run
command is on.
WARNING! Do not control the motor with an AC contactor or disconnecting device
(disconnecting means); use instead the control panel start and stop keys or external
commands (I/O or fieldbus). The maximum allowed number of charging cycles of
the DC capacitors (i.e. power-ups by applying power) is three in five minutes.
