AuComs MVS medium voltage soft starters are an integrated solution for motor control and protection.

MVS soft starters combine advanced soft start and soft stop functionality with extensive motor and system protection, plus a user-friendly interface and complete commissioning diagnostics. MVS soft starters provide integrated motor starting and monitoring functions for the most demanding industrial situations. Advanced algorithms ensure ultrasmooth starting and stopping, and fully adjustable protection features maximise electrical and mechanical protection for your motor and system. A large-format display and detailed performance logs make setup and operation simple. MVS soft starters are available in either IP42 or IP54 panels, with options for line and bypass contactors, earthing and isolation switches. AuCom can also design and build panels to meet particular specifications, and we offer full applications engineering support at all stages of the design process. For customers who prefer to build their own panels, MVS soft starters can be supplied in IP00 format or as a kit for local assembly. MVS soft starters have been installed in high-profile locations worldwide. By integrating motor protection with soft start and soft stop control, the MVS provides a simple and cost-effective solution for most major applications.

SAFE

AIR INSUlATION
The MVS incorporates extra features to ensure personnel safety when working in the MV environment. Air insulation assures long-term reliability. The MVS has communication between the low voltage controller and the high voltage power assembly via fibre-optic cables, for complete electrical isolation. Enclosed units designed by AuCom include additional physical isolation and safety interlocks, for maximum safety.

BUS BAR ISOlATION

Tinned bus bars on the MVS soft starter are located at the rear of the panel. Barriers isolate cables from bus bars to allow inspection of cabling.
horizontal bus bars can be engineered throughout the length of your panel. insulated panels to isolate input and output bars are optional. Generous space in the rear of the cabinet makes cabling your soft starter easy. the mvs has options to cable from either bottom, top, left or right.

PANEl CONSTRUCTION
MVS panels feature bolted construction to prevent unintentional access. This ensures that covers may only be removed with very deliberate actions. This also removes the need for mechanical interlocking.

ByPASS TERMINAlS
Retains motor protection and monitoring functions even when the starter is bypassed.

lockable door prevents unauthorised access.

AdVANCEd THERMAl MOdEllINg

Intelligent thermal modelling allows the soft starter to dynamically calculate motor temperature to predict whether the motor can successfully complete a start. The MVS uses information from previous and upcoming starts to calculate the motor temperature to predict the motors available thermal capacity.

THERMAl CAPACITy
The thermal model will only permit a start which is predicted to succeed. This protects the motor against overloads which shorten the motor life.

* RTD Relay is an optional extra. COMMUNICATION MOdUlES

FIBRE OPTICS
Electrical isolation of low and high voltage circuits is assured by a two line fibre-optic interface between the power assembly and the control module. This fibre-optic link simplifies installation of chassis mount MVS units into custom switchboards.

TRIPS
Trips and warnings are written to an eight-place trip log, together with information on motor and system status at the time, speeding up analysis of problems.

PASSWORd PROTECTION
A multi-level password system provides security for parameter adjustments while still allowing users full access to the many metering functions.

The MVS integrates into your existing monitoring and control network, using easy-to-install plug-in communication interfaces. The MVS supports Profibus, DeviceNet and Modbus RTU protocols. Communication modules are an optional extra.

COMMISSIONING

COMMISSIONINg
AuCom makes medium voltage installation and commissioning simple without unnecessary interruption to your normal operation. For minimal disruption, the MVS incorporates extensive operating simulations and allows the starter to be tested with a low voltage motor, to confirm circuit integrity and identify any errors before full commissioning. As well as a comprehensive run simulations, the MVS can simulate each protection to ensure the starter is signalling as expected and interacting correctly with associated equipment.

SOFTWARE SIMUlATIONS
The simulation function allow the MVS to be tested without a motor connected, to confirm that the soft starters control circuits are operating correctly. There are three simulation modes available: Run simulation: simulates a motor starting, running and stopping to confirm correct configuration of main and bypass contactors, fibre-optic controls, programmable relays and motor control signals. Protection simulation: simulates activation of each protection mechanism to confirm that the soft starter is responding correctly in each situation. Signalling simulation: simulates output signalling to confirm configuration.

phase arms slide out easily on built-in runners. the mvs has been designed to make installation, maintenance and operation a breeze.

lOW VOlTAgE TESTINg

The MVS can be connected to a low voltage motor ( 500 VAC) for testing. This allows the user to thoroughly test the soft starter and its associated power and control circuits. The low voltage test mode provides a means of testing the soft starters configuration without requiring a full medium voltage test facility.

dIRECT ON-lINE
Many customisable MV units are equipped with a DOL feature. This allows DOL motor operation in the event of failure to maximise uptime during repair.

AFTER SAlES SERVICE

Annual maintenance contracts and other after sales service packages may be included with your project, ask your sales engineer for more information.
