The microprocessor based
control module RSC-HD0M60
is used with output modules
RSO.... to achieve full wave
soft starting and soft stopping
of 3-phase induction motors.
When the motor is fully oper-
ating, the module delivers a
signal which can be used to
connect a contactor in parallel
with the output module,
thereby limiting the power dis-
sipation of the device and
eliminating the need for a large
heatsink. The power supply
unit MS1* has a built-in con-
trol relay for shunting the
motor controller when soft
starting is performed. The
standard control module is
multivoltage compatible and
features LED indication for
line ON and load ON.

The control module RSC-
HD0M60 is used with the out-
put module RSO.. to achieve
soft starting and soft stopping
of 3-phase induction motors.
Soft starting is achieved by
increasing the motor voltage
in accordance with the setting
of the ramp up time poten-
tiometer within the range of
0.5 to 30 s. Soft stopping is
achieved by decreasing the
motor voltage in accordance
with the setting of the ramp
down time potentiometer
within the range of 0.5 to 30 s.
The starting torque poten-
tiometer makes it possible to
adjust the starting level of the
motor voltage to a value at
which the motor starts to ro-
tate immediately when soft
starting is initiated. When the
motor is fully operating, an
output signal appears which
can be used to connect a by-
passing relay or contactor in
parallel to the output module,
thus limiting the need for cool-
ing.
Note: Only delta/star without
neutral.

Applications
RSC-HD0M60/RSO....
The output module RSO ..110
is recommended for motors
up to 22 kW @ 400 V. The
RSO ..110 is designed for use
in applications with high surge
current conditions. Care must
be taken to ensure proper
heat-sinking when the output
modules are to be used at high
nominal currents. Adequate
electrical connection between
relay terminals and cable
must be ensured.
Example 1:
Power dissipation -
RSO 40110:
Iload = 40 Arms = 111 W
See previous page.
Example 2:
Motor: 3 kW, ns = 1500 rpm,
3 x 400 V AC, 4-pole
TA: 50°C
Starting time: 5 s
The RSC-HD0M60 is used for
both applications. The RSO
..50, RSO ..25, RSO ..10 mod-
ules can b e used: RSO ..50, if
the starting current is un-
known for 5 s (starting time)
and a large safety margin is
required, RSO ..25/..10, if dur-
ing starting the current is low-
er. For RSO ..10 the maximum
current is 17 A for 5 s, and for
RSO ..25 the maximum cur-
rent is 39 A for 5 s.
In this application the start-
ing current is measured to be
only 17 A with a starting time
of 5 s. Consequently, an RSO
..10 is selected.
The min. heatsink is 1K/W,
and the power dissipation is
25 W.
This gives:
Control module:
RSC-HD.M60
Output module: RSO 4010
Heatsink:1K/W
Note: The thermal conditions
have now been designed for
the nominal motor current.
This means that the starting
time should be less than 10%
of the operating time of the
motor.
Connection to the mains
Since no motor protective
circuitry is included in the
RSC/RSO, the motor must
be protected in the usual
way, i.e. either by a thermal
relay, a PTC-resistor or a
Klixon bimetal temperature
switch near the motor wind-
ings.
If short circuit pr otection is re-
quired, fuses F1 to F3 should
be ultrafast and selected ac-
cording to the load integral
(I2t) of the RSO output module
and the motor load.

When the main contactor C1
switches on, the motor will soft-

the SSR automatically resets.
Note: The induced voltage
from the motor will prolong the
reset, depending on motor type
and load.
Manual start - stop function
If desired, an external control
circuit for manual starting and
stopping can be created by
using push buttons. When the
start button is pressed and
held until the lamp B1 is lit
(indicating that the motor is
now running), a holding con-
tact is made. The motor will
stop after activating the stop
button.
When the main contactor C1
switches on, and the control
switch S1 is closed, the motor
will soft-start. When S1 is
opened, the motor will soft-
stop.

Applications (cont.)
RSC-HD0M60/RSO
This circuit limits the power
dissipation of the SSR and
consequently eliminates the
need for a large heatsink, i.e.
the power dissipation is lim-
ited to the starting and
stopping periods. This is
achieved by switching a con-
tactor with the output signal
from the control module
RSC. In this case C2 is car-
rying - not switching - the
current and can therefore be
rated on the basis of the
thermal current data of the
contacts, which will result in
a smaller contactor.
Note: However, if C2 fails,
the temperature on the output
module RSO heatsink may
rise to an unacceptable level.
It is therefore advisable to
protect the RSO by means
of an optional temperature
limiting switch T1, which can
be inserted in the housing of
the output module.
