2.1 Requirements for switching high-efficiency motors

The increased requirements for protection devices and switchgear when switching high-
efficiency motors are covered by the new utilization category AC‑3e introduced in
the IEC 60947‑4‑1 product standard.
The utilization category AC‑3e takes into account the higher switch-on characteristic of
efficiency-enhanced motors. This is reflected, for example, in a higher starting current when
starting squirrel-cage motors.
All SIRIUS protection devices and switchgear that are subject to the IEC 60947‑4‑1 product
standard meet the increased requirements in accordance with utilization category AC‑3e and
are suitable for use with high-efficiency motors.

2.3 Notes on the protection of device connections

The specifications for short-circuit protection (fuses, circuit breakers, or miniature circuit
breakers) are available for the device connections of the main circuit and the auxiliary circuit.
In order to ensure a holistic view for the protection of the device connections, the manufacturer
is obliged to provide all relevant information for short-circuit protection and overcurrent
protection.
If, for example, device connections for the control supply voltage, the supply voltage, or digital
inputs/digital outputs are not connected to self-limiting current sources or energy sources, you
can find the relevant information in the Equipment Manual or the technical data sheet.

Method of operation
When the voltage is connected to A1/A2 (contactor), the solid-state time-delay auxiliary switch
(3RA2815) switches the output relay. The operating time t starts when the voltage is
disconnected. The relay switches back to the idle state at the end of the operating time t. There
is an assurance that if the minimum ON duration is not observed either the time lapse will not
start or, if the time lapse has started, it will always be completed in an orderly fashion. Users can
rely on intermediate states of the functional sequence, such as "no relay dropout", being
detected. The minimum ON duration of 200 ms must be observed.

Method of operation
The function module for star-delta (wye-delta) start is responsible for the electrical interlock and
the timing relay function (dead interval from star (wye) operation to delta operation). Control
is exclusively via A1/A2 on the line contactor below. Additional wiring is therefore not required.
The supply voltage is routed via a ribbon cable, eliminating the need for control circuit wiring.
The instantaneous star contact and the time-delayed delta contact share the same contact root.
To avoid inter-phase short circuits, the changeover delay from star (wye) to delta is ≥ 50 ms.

Operation 10
10.1 Setting the times

Setting options for function modules

On function modules for direct-on-line start (electronic timing relays with semiconductor
output/solid-state time-delay auxiliary switches), use the time range selector switch to set the
time base to 1 s, 10 s or 100 s. Use the operating time adjustment switch to set the relative time
between 5 and 100%
(to support operating times between 0.05 s and 100 s).
On the function module for star-delta (wye-delta) start, you can preset the dead interval from
star to delta operation to10 s, 30 s or 60 s and the operating time to between 0.5 s and 60 s
(using the adjustment switch). The changeover delay from star (wye) to delta operation is set to
a non-adjustable value of ≥ 50 ms.

1 Time range selector switch (1 s, 10 s, 100 s or 10 s, 30 s, 60 s)

2 Operating time adjustment switch (5 to 100%)

Example time setting

Time base on time range selector switch = 100 s, relative time on operating time adjustment
switch = 50%:
This results in an operating time of 50 s.
