Short-circuit Protection


GE Power Controls

Short-circuit Protection


GE Power Controls

The manual motor starter can be fed at the top or bottom supply terminals without any reduction of the rated values

Back-up fuses are only necessary if there is possibility of a short-circuit current higher than the values indicated on the previous chart for the ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity of the manual motor starter at the installation point of the device

Feeding


GE Power Controls

The current of the motor to be protected is set on the setting scale

The short-circuit release is set at the factory to a value equivalent to 13 times the rated current of the manual motor starter

Manual motor starters with thermal overload release aredesigned in accordance with release class 10

All the Surion line is available with magnetic only protection for starter combinations (contactor + overload relay)

In case of overload the relay releases the contactor and the MMS remains closed

Motor Protection


GE Power Controls

Thermal release trip currentCurve apply for cold state, at operating temperature thetripping time for overload release are reduced of 25%

For single phase and DC loads the three phases must be connected in series

The magnetic release are based on the rated current Inwhich is the max. value of the setting range of the MMS

If the current is set to a lower value, the tripping current is increased by a corresponding factor

The short-circuit release is set at the factory to a valueequivalent to 13 times the rated current of the manualmotor starter

Fuseless Starters


GE Power Controls

Features

Fuseless starter is the combination of 1 MMS and one or two(reverser) contactors connected each other with a link moduleand assembly in a base plate or busbar adapter

MMS is used to provide protection against the load, usually amotor, from overloads and short-circuits, then fuses orlimiters should be avoid. The contactor is used for switchingtask mainly done in a remote distance

Power with 45mm width device is up to 11kW@400V andwith 55mm width device is up to 30kW@400V

Lateral and front mounting auxiliary blocks can be used withfuseless starter

Base plates and busbar adapter can also be used with the MMS alone

Direct A1-A2 terminal coil accessibility

Coordination type 1 and 2 @ 400/415, 500 V and 690 V

Fuseless Starters


GE Power Controls

Main accessories

Link modules : provide mechanical and electrical connection between MMS and contactor

Base plates : base support used to fix the MMS and contactor

Busbar adapter : base support which is capable to be fitted directly onto a busbar, with 40 and 60mm centre line spacing (thickness 5 to 10mm) and just with one operation, mechanical “click on” and electrical connections are done

Fuseless Starters


GE Power Controls

As a support is used a Base Plate (BP) or Busbar Adapter (BA)If MC contactors series are used BP is not required

All Manual Motor Starters are designed to be used as fuseless starters

A link between the MMS and the contactor is mandatory to secure mechanical / electrical connection

Contactors from MC series up to CL07 can be used.Also is possible a reverse assembly using a wiring kit between contactors

Contactor cover

Fuseless Starters : components


GE Power Controls

MMS should be mounted on a BP with a 35mm DIN rail or on a BA with 35mm DIN rail or screws

A link is screwed at the MMS

Contactors should be rotated before the assembly to the link

Fit the contactor cover

The contactor is mounted to both the link and the BP or BA

The contactor should be screwed to both the link and the BP or BA
