‘September, 1996
‘The ALTISTART® 3, Series 23 Soft Start offers full-featured, solid-state soft starting
‘of standard three-phase asynchronous induction motors. ALTISTART controllers
are available in 14 power ratings from 7 to 1200 A. Each can be configured for 208/
230, 380/400 or 460/500 V. The ALTISTART controllers are available in standard
(ATS-23) and pump (ATS-23P) versions.
‘The ALTISTART controller starts motors on the gamma principle, an advanced
control method that ensures smooth rotation throughout the starting ramp
without mechanical instability at the end of starting. A microprocessor
continuously monitors the main operating parameters of the slarter and motor to
provide maximum protection and reliability of motor and machine. Thermal
protection is standard and is achieved by continuously calculating the temperature
tise of the motor and starter. The protection remains effective when contactor
shorting is used or during a total loss of power.
Some of the terms and acronyms used throughout this manual are defined Table 1

‘Chapter 1 - Characteristics
‘Available Torque
‘The asynchronous motor associated with the ALTISTART controller must be
capable of starting the load when itis supplied with reduced voltage and current.
Figure 1 shows the torque/speed characteristics of a squirrel cage motor as a
function of the supply voltage. The torque varies as the square of the voltage at a
fixed frequency. The progressive increase of voltage limits torque and current at
starting.
Figure 2 shows the change of torque as a function of starting current with a soli
state soft starter. The limitation of the starting current (Id) to a predetermined
value (Id1) causes a reduction of torque almost equal to the ratio of the square of
currents:

STARTER SELECTION
Large frame motors (exceeding 500 1) of either NEMA A design or with a delta-
connected stator should not be used with the ATS-23 controller since this may
‘cause unstable operation. This precaution is essential for machines operating at no
oad if the controller is not equipped with a shorting contactor, or if it is necessary
to use DC injection braking,
When using the pump version starter, the asynchronous motor driving a centrif~
gal pump must, at full load, draw a current greater than or equal to 0.8 times its,
rated full load amps (FLA). This load condition is necessary for the starter to oper~
ate correctly on deceleration,
‘The ALTISTART controller must be selected according to the nameplate current of
the motor. The starter should not be used upstream of a motor supply transformer.

September, 1996
THERMAL
OVERLOAD
PROTECTION
A microprocessor-controlled solid-state thermal overload continuously calculates
temperature rise of the motor and starter based on the motor rated current (Ir) and
theactual motor current. An electronic circuit with a time constant which simulates
the cooling curve of the motor stores the thermal state even after disconnection of
the power supply. Calculation of the motor heating is continuous with or without
the use of shorting contactors. Rises in motor temperature can be caused by a slight
‘or severe overload of long or short duration. Temperature rises are accurately
monitored by a digital model based on two thermal images. The first (T1)
represents the level of the temperature rise corresponding to “iron” (motor frame).
The second (T2) represents the level of the temperature rise corresponding, to
“copper” (stator windings).
‘The thermal tripping curves shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 are established
according to a time constant based upon the motor FLA (In) and correspond to the
“cold” state (with the motor at its rated ambient temperature). For each thermal
image, two levels of alarm in series detect the level of the temperature rise:
1. Anoverload pre-alarm which indicates that the motor has exceeded 110%
ofits rated temperature rise threshold.
2. A thermal fault signal which stops the motor if the temperature rise
exceeds the critical threshold of 121%
These conditions are signalled by two indicator lights and two Output relays.
Following a stop, the thermal overload control of the starter prevents restarting if
the calculated temperature of the motor is still too high.

A CAUTION
MOTOR OVERHEATING
Motor current draw above nameplate rating will result in motor temperature rise,
Extended exposure to overcurrents will cause the motor to overheat resulting in thermal
‘overload fault or equipment damage.
‘The following conditions can cause excessive heating:
+ Excessive duty cycle (more than 6 evenly spaced starts per hou!)
‘+ Excessive acceleration ramp due to high inertia loads
+ Extended or high duty eycie of DC injection
+ High ambient temperature
‘Check with the motor manufacturer for the motors suitability for operation on a solid-
state reducod voltage controler contigured for your application
+ Motor thermal sensors built nto the motor windings and connected through the
control logic may be required for motor protection.
‘+ Specitic application duty motors, such as explosion proot and submersible motors
will require enhanced protection and spacial considerations in application. The motor
‘manufacturer MUST be consulted when applying these motors.
Failure to follow this instruction can result in injury or equipment damage.

‘+ DO NOT touch unshielded components or terminal strip screw connections with
voltage present.
‘+ Install ll covers before applying power or starting and stopping the controller.
“+ User is responsible fr conforming to all applicable code requirements with respect,
to grounding all equipment. See Figure 6 through Figure 10 for grounding points.
‘+ Many pans inthis controller, including printed wiring boards, operate at line voltage.
DO NOT TOUCH. Use only electrcally:nsulated tools while making adjustments
Before instaling controlier:
+ Disconnect all power.
+ Place a “DO NOT TURN ON” label on the controller disconnect,
+ Lock disconnect in open position,
Fallure to follow this instruction will result in death or serious Injury.
‘+ When installation surface is not even, put a spacer behind the starter mounting
pads to climinate gaps. The starter exterior may be damaged if fastened to an
uneven surface,
‘Starters are open devices and must be installed in suitable enclosures or
controlled access areas. The environment around the starter must meet
Pollution Degree 3 requirements as defined in NEMA ICSI-1 or IEC 664-1.
A WARNING
TAZARDOUS VOLTAGE
ALTISTART 23 controllers are open style devices and must be mounted in a sultablo
enciosure,
Failure to follow this instruction can result in death or serious injury.
+ The starter generates heat. It must be properly ventilated. Refer to “Thermal

+ When several starters are installed in a control panel, arrange them in a row.
Stacking starters is not recommended. Heat generated from the bottom starter
‘can adversely affect the ambient temperature around the top starter.
A CAUTION
‘CONTROLLER OVERHEATING
+ Mount the controller vertically.
*+ Do not locate the controler near heat radiating elements.
+ Electrical current through the controler will result in heat losses that must be
dissipated into the ambient air immediately surrounding the controller. To prevent
thermal fault or equipment damage, provide sufficient enclosure cooling and/or
‘entiation to limit the ambient temperature around the controller.
Failuro to follow this instruction can result in Injury or equipment damago.
+ Voltage and frequency specifications for the input line must match the starter
configuration,
+ Adisconnect switch must be installed between the input line and the starter
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE
‘+ The solid-state switches of the controller power circuit do not provide complete
isolation from the Ine. Oue to leakage currents through the solid-state switches,
hazardous voltages can be present on the controler load-side power circuit
‘whenever power is applied to the line side of the controler.
+ Disconnect all power before servicing the controller or motor.
Failure to follow this instruction will result in death or serious Injury.
+ When using an isolation contactor, certain sequencing must be observed with
respect to the run signal supplied to the ALTISTART controller. During starting
of the controller, closure of the isolation contactor generally should precede or
coincide with the application of the controller Run command. If line power is
not detected at the L1, L2, and L3 terminals of the controller within 200 ms of
this run command, a “Phase Failure" fault will occur. The circuit diagrams on
page 27 and page 28 use this feature of the ALTISTART controller.
+ External overcurrent protection in the form of fuses must be installed on the
line-side connections of the starter. The maximum recommended fuse type and
rating, along with the associated starter short-circuit withstand rating, is listed
on the starter nameplate. This information is also listed in Table 2 on page 4.
A WARNING
‘OVERCURRENT MUST BE PROPERLY COORDINATED
‘+ Fuses must be installed on the Ine-side of the ALTISTART 23 controller to achieve
published short circuit withstand ratings.
‘+ Donot exceed the maximum fuse ratings shown in Table 2 or the controler
nameplate
+ Donot connect the controler to a power feeder whose short circuit capacity exceeds
the controller short circuit withstand rating shown in Table 2 or the controllor
nameplate.
Failure to follow this instruction can result in death or serious injury.

Installation Precautions
Power factor correction capacitors should not be connected to a motor
controlled by an ALTISTART controler. If power factor correction is required,
the capacitors must be located on the line-side of the controller. A separate
contactor should be used to switch the capacitors off when the motor is off.
A CAUTION
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Do not connect power factor correction capacitors to the load-side power circuit of the
ALTISTART controler.
Failure to follow t
struction can result in injury or equipment damage.
The ALTISTART controller uses solid-state power switches for the control of
motor power, When checking the condition of conductor or motor insulation,
do not connect the high potential dielectric test equipment or insulation
resistance tester to the starter since the test voltages used may damage the
starter. Always disconnect the starter from the conductors or motor before
performing such tests.
A CAUTION
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
+ Do not perform high potential dielectric tests on circuits while the circuits are
connected to the ALTISTART controller.
+ Any circuit requiring high potential dielectric tests must be disconnected from the
ALTISTART controller prior to performing the test.
Fallure to follow this instruction can result in injury or equipment damage.
‘+ Electronic protection is included within the ALTISTART controller to detect and
signal failure of the solid-state switches.
‘+ Since the solid-state switches may be incapable of completely blocking motor
power should failure occur, auxiliary isolation on the line-side of the
controller is required, The isolation device must be capable of operation via
‘command from the Fault relay of the controller. An isolation device consistin
of either a circuit breaker incorporating a shunt trip coil or an electromagneti
contactor can be used to open the controller power circuit in the event of a
controller fault
Refer to Figures 21 through 23 for typical circuit diagrams which show the logic
controlling the isolation device via the Fault relay.

‘CONTROLLER OVERHEATING
Failure of the controller solid-state switches can cause single-phase operation of the
motor.
+ Mount the controller vertically.
+ Do not locate the controller near heat radiating elements.
* Electrical current through the controler will result in heat losses that must be
‘dissipated into the ambient air immediately surrounding the controller. To prevent
thermal fault or equipment damage, provide sufficient enclosure cooling and/or
ventlation to limit the ambient temperature around the controller.
Failure to follow this Instruction can result in injury or equipment damage.

based upon a certain minimum enclosure size for each starter. When selecting an
enclosure, this minimum size constraint should be observed. Table 4 lists the
minimum enclosure dimensions for each starter. Minimum enclosure size to meet
short circuit withstand ratings may not be sufficient for adequate heat dissipation;

‘The control circuit is completely independent of the power circuit. To select control
voltage, follow the instructions on the label located on the top of the starter:
+ 208-240 V: move blue terminal cover from position 230 to position 460/500 V
and connect single phase voltage supply to terminals C and 230.
+ 380-415 V: move blue terminal cover from position 400 to position 460/500 V
and connect single phase voltage supply to terminals C and 400.
* 440-500 V: check that exposed control terminals are marked C and 460/500 V. If
not, move blue terminal cover from 460/500 V terminal and connect single

‘Motor full load currents through 500 hp @ 460 V and 250 hp @ 230 V are
taken from ULS08 Table 54.2 (NFPA 70, Table 430-150). Above 500 hp @
460 V and 250 inp @ 230 V, motor full [oad currents are calculated based upon
1.2 A/hp for 460 V and 2.4 A/hp for 230 V.
‘The ambient temperature indicated in the table represents the temperature
oftheair surrounding the ALTISTART controller. Any additional temperature
factors associated with the enclosure system or actual installation ambient
temperature must be considered when determining the actual rated current
(In) of thestarter. For operating ambients above 40°C but not exceeding 60 °C,
the rated current (In) of the starter must be derated by 1.2% per °C.
The circuit breakers selected require the addition of operator mechanisms to
allow operation of the circuit breaker from the exterior of an enclosure. Refer
to the latest editions of Square Ds full line product catalogs for operator
mechanism information. Order circuit breaker (CB) with shunt trip coil asa
suffix.
‘The fuses listed in the Table 10 provide Type 1 protection to the starter and.
auxiliary power equipment when the power source short circuit current

Fuse holders listed are for Class R fuses only. Class L fuses require bolt-on
‘connections to user-supplied power bus work.
All coils are selected for 120 V, 60 Hz operation. Refer to Table 10 for auxiliary
conlacts. One block may be added to each contactor.
When using the contactors referenced in the component list for the DC
braking contactor function, connect all the power poles in parallel.
‘Control circuit transformer continuous and inrush burden ratings have been
selected to maintain the control circuit voltage within the range of allowable
pick-up voltages for the specified contactors and relays (input mains voltage

of the fuses has been selected to allow for expected transformer and
contactor inrush currents.
Power terminals are not included with LCI-F or LC1-B contactors. Refer to
the latest editions of Square D's full line product catalogs.
Reversing contactors for C15 through M12 controllers must be assembled
from components. Parts quantities for a basic contactor assembly, minus the
power connection links and terminals, are indicated before cach part
number. Refer to the latest editions of Square D’s full line product catalogs
for power connector link and terminal kits. Reversing contactor interlock
units used for the C82 through M12 controllers are designed for vertical
interlocking of the individual contactors. Horizontally interlocked
contactors are used for U70 through C58 controllers.
‘The “D” Line Contactor is available as a reversing configuration. For these
applications, change the KM1 part number prefix from LC1-to LC2-to order

ALTISTART controllers have several adjustable functions accessible through
configuration switches and potentiometers. The ranges, factory preset conditions
and methods of adjustment are covered in the following sections.
ATS.23 (standard) and ATS-23P (pump version) starters have four configuration
‘switches for adjustment of the following parameters:
+ Manual or automatic reset (RET)
‘+ Freewheel or controlled stopping (STP)
+ Ramp or brake-controlled stopping (CTL)
+ Overtorque on starting (BST)
+ Manual or automatic reset (RET)
+ Freewheel or controlled stopping (STP)
= Short or long ramp (RAMP)
* Overload pre-alarm or underload detection (SC)
To access the configuration switches, open the hinged cover on the adjustment
compartment of the starter (see Figure 24 on page 36). Set the switches according
to the type of operation required. The parameters are defined below and their
settings are explained in Table 13 on page 35.
‘+ RET: determines how starter will restart motor after a fault condition has been
cleared,
+ STP: configures starter for freewheel (coast-to-rest) or controlled stopping.
+ CTL: selects method of controlled stopping.
+ BST: configures initial voltage supplied to motor (Figure 29 on page 39).
+ RAMP: selects range of deceleration.
‘+ SC: configures operation of output relay “LOAD” on front of starter.

Ir sets motor rated current in percentages of the starter’s rated current. Adjustable
on both ATS-23 and ATS-23P starters, the allowable range is 50 to 100%. The pa-
rameter is factory set to its minirmum value, and should be adjusted to correspond
to the FLA indicated on the motor rating plate. The Ir setting determines built-in
thermal protection and adjustment range of the ILT potentiometer. For example,
given an ATS23D72N and 50 hp motor combination with 480 V mains supply, the
Starter is rated at 72 A, and if motor FLA is 60 A, Ir should be set to 83%.
ILT sets starting current limitation as a multiple of motor operating current (In)
This parameter is adjustable on both ATS-23 and ATS-23P starters. The allowable
range is 2 to 5 for the ATS-23 and 2 to for the ATS-23P, factory set to 3 (ie, 3x In),
Set ILT to the level necessary for obtaining the required starting torque.
ACC sets voltage ramp time on acceleration. Adjustable on both ATS-23 and ATS-
23P starters, the allowable range is 1-30 s. The parameter is factory set to 5s and
should be adjusted to the starting time required by the application.
Note: The graduations of the ACC potentiometers are given as indications and correspond
to the setting of the ramp times in seconds. The actual acceleration times may be different
since they depend on load conditions, such as inertia and resistive torque.
DEC sets voltage ramp time on deceleration. The parameter is adjustable for both
ATS.23 and ATS-23P starters. For this adjustment to be active, switch STP must be
in position “C.”
(On ATS-23 (standard) starters, DEC sets voltage ramp time on deceleration if the
CTL configuration switch is in position “D.” If the CTL configuration switch is in
position “B,” DEC sets DC injection time. The allowable range is 2-60 s and the pa-
rameter is factory set to 10.
‘On ATS-23P (pump) starters, DEC sets only deceleration ramp time. The factory
setting of the potentiometer is 10 and the RAMP switch is set for long ramp
( > ).The optimum setting of DEC the shortest ramp that does not result in
hydraulicshock of the pumping system (water hammer, pressure surge, ete). Since
hydraulic shock is a property of the piping system, the optimum setting of DEC is
a function of the installation,
When controlled deceleration is selected, adjust the DEC potentiometer between,
20 and 40. Ifa controlled stop results in hydraulic shock, increase the deceleration
‘time until the condition disappears. If shock is controlled on the first attempt, try
lower time settings until the optimum setting is achieved. Verify that the selected
deceleration time achieves the desired hydraulic performance under all operating
conditions of the pumping system.

Bulletin No, 50006-359-01C
September, 1996
On ATS-23P starters, a fifth potentiometer located in the center of the adjustment
compartment adjusts voltage drop AV at the starter output as soon asa stop com-
mand is initiated. The initial voltage drop may be adjusted from 5% to 25% line
voltage. Factory setting is for the minimum value (Full CCW). The voltage drop for
2.480 V supply, for example, is 24 V.
‘The initial voltage drop affects the speed at which deceleration control begins. If
the check valve does not close until the motor speed has dropped significantly, the
initial voltage drop may be increased to reduce the total deceleration ramp time.
This potentiometer should not require adjustment for most applications.
Figure 26 Voltage Drop
On ATS-23P starters, voltage feedback must be selected with the rotary switch in-
side the adjustment compartment (see Figure 25). The rotary switch is located on
the lower right hand side. Ensure that the position of the switch corresponds to line
voltage. For example, set the switch to 230 V for a 208-240 V supply. Factory setting
is 500 V for a 440/500 V supply.
ALTISTART controllers have 3 LEDs on the front panel for indicating starter run
status, faults and alarms. When control circuit is powered up, the 3 LEDs light,
then go out, and the green (Drive) LED flashes slowly if everything is functioning
correctly. For alarm and fault conditions, see Chapter 4.

Bulletin No, 50006-359-01C

For freewheel stopping of the ATS-23 and ATS-23P starters, no setting need be
‘made. The stop command places the starter in ready mode, the green (Drive) LED
flashes slowly, and the motor coasts over a period of time depending on inertia and
resistive torque of the driven load.
For standard ATS-23 starters, soft stopping is selected with the configuration
switches (STP="C,” CTL="D," page 35) and controlled by adjusting the DEC po-
tentiometer (page 36). When the starter is set up for soft stopping, the stop com-
mand does not immediately remove power from motor. Instead, the End of
Starting relay opens (contact at terminals 43-44), the green (Drive) LED flashes rap-
idly for the whole deceleration ramp period, and the motor stops over a period of
time according to the ramp time set on the DEC potentiometer and the load con.
tions. The time to stop with soft stopping is greater than freewheel stop time.
Note: Setting DEC too short could cause motor to freewheel stop.

are made correctly during tests, the motor must operate at steady state for at least

Gradually adjust the setting of DEC potentiometer until itis just above the point at
which hydraulic shock occurs. Verify that the selected deceleration time achieves
the desired hydraulic performance under all operating conditions of the installa~
tion. During tests, if itis necessary to set the RAMP switch to short ramp position,
the setting of the DEC potentiometer must be adjusted to approximately the same

DC injection braking stops motors faster than a coast stop. The injection period is

ATS2SCION, ATS23C24N, ATS23C3ON, ATS2IC4IN and ATS23C82N, if DC Injec
tion is adjusted for a time exceeding 30 seconds, derate starter by 20%.
‘The DBC potentiometer setting is the approximate period of injection time.
When DC injection braking is selected, a stop command does not immediately re-
move power from the motor. Instead, the End of Starting relay (contact at terminals,
43-44) opens and the DC Braking relay (contact at terminals 53-54) which controls,
contactor KM3 closes. The green (Drive) LED flashes rapidly for the whole injec
tion period, then flashes slowly indicating that starting is permissible. Braked stop-
ping of the motor occurs over a period which is less than freewheel stop time.
If a motor thermal overload condition occurs during the injection brake period,
braking will continue as set, and when complete, restart will be prohibited until
motor has cooled
