Soft Starter Module Solid state reduced voltage motor starters shall be Square D type RVSS (sized as indicated), or pre-approved equal modified to meet the requirements of this specification. The starter shall be complete with the following standard features and adjustments. Motor and Load Protection shall be integral to the starter assembly. Motor protection shall be based upon modeling of the thermal characteristics of the motor as programmed by the user and measured by the starter. All current referenced protection features shall be calculated from the motor nameplate FLA, and automatically adjusted for the Service Factor, NEMA Design, Insulation Class, Line Voltage and Line Frequency as entered by the user. All time based protection features shall be based on a Real Time Clock, remaining active through any power loss. Starter shall provide the following functions: Thermal Overload shall be provided by the on-board microprocessor control. Basic protection shall be inverse time-current trip curves as defined by NEMA trip curve Classes. The trip curve classes shall be programmable from between Class 5 and Class 30 and the starter shall be UL listed to provide each individual class. As the most important protection feature of a starter, the overload protection shall be based on a Dynamic Thermal Register retained in memory and provide the following features: Retentive Thermal Memory shall be used to ensure that the Dynamic Thermal Register does not loose track of motor temperature after the power is lost or shut down. Upon reapplication of power, the microprocessor shall be automatically updated as to the motor temperature and adjusted for real time cooling while the power is off. Dynamic Reset Capacity shall retain a snapshot of the thermal capacity necessary to restart the motor. The starter shall determine these requirements by recording and averaging the previous 3 successful start-ups. After an overload trip has occurred the protection shall prevent resetting until enough cooling time has passed and sufficient motor thermal capacity is available. True Thermal Modeling shall be a feature of the overload and reset calculations. Once established at setup, the Dynamic Thermal Register shall be biased according to the following input information when available: Cold Stall Time, Hot Stall Time, Stopped Cool Down Time, Running Cool Down Time, and all of the real time information from the RTD Option if ordered. Separate Trip Curves shall be provided for Start and Run, allowing a higher level curve to avoid nuisance tripping during acceleration, but dropping to another level for accurate motor protection while at full speed. To maximize flexibility, each trip curve shall be programmable as follows: Basic, using the NEMA Class ranges described above. Locked Rotor programmable between 400 800% of FLA, and a trip time from 1 30 seconds. Measured Start Capacity (It curve area) taken from the previous successful start (only applicable to the Start Curve). Overload Alarm shall be provided to warn users of an impending overload trip. The Alarm level shall be programmable between 40 95% of the Dynamic Thermal Register value. It shall provide an adjustable delay of 1 20 seconds. Manual or Automatic Reset shall be selectable in programming to provide for automatic reset in unattended remote applications. Phase Monitoring shall be standard and based on motor current. In order to protect against disconnected motor leads, this feature will function even if the line voltage remains normal. All features shall be as follows and capable of being disabled if not needed: Phase Loss shall shut down the starter if current through any leg drops to 20% of unit FLA or less. This protection shall be implemented via hardware and shall be non-adjustable. It shall provide an adjustable trip delay of 1 20 seconds. - SECTION 16###-# 261839.15 Revision 0, 01/22/2013 Page 7

Phase Imbalance Protection shall be provided with programmable sensitivity to provide both Alarm and Trip points. The sensitivity shall be adjustable for phase-to-phase imbalances of between 5% and 30%. Each point shall provide an adjustable delay of 1 20 seconds. Phase Rotation protection shall be self-learning and field programmable. If phase rotation varies from the initial set pattern, the starter shall trip immediately. If phase rotation is correct, the starter can be re-taught to recognize the new rotation. Short Circuit Detection with dual mode protection for starting and running operation shall be standard. This circuit MUST be provided to protect the starter from load failures. This protection shall be implemented via hardware and shall be non-adjustable. In the starting mode the starter shall employ a second pre-check routine to determine if the load circuit has a fault condition and disable the ramping prior to reaching the Initial Voltage setting. This is to avoid additional equipment damage after a fault that may have occurred while the starter was off. In the running mode, this feature will shut down the starter if current through any leg exceeds 10 times unit FLA for 12.5 milliseconds. Over Current Protection shall be provided separate from the above to be used as a Shear Pin trip. It shall be adjustable at lower levels for protecting mechanical components from undue shock when rapid unexpected load changes occur. Adjustment level shall be from 100% to 300% of the programmed motor FLA. A time delay of up to 20 seconds shall avoid nuisance tripping from short duration transients. Under Current Protection shall alarm the starter on an adjustable condition. This Load Loss sensor shall be programmable from 10% to 90% of the programmed motor FLA, and, with a time delay of up to 20 seconds shall avoid nuisance tripping from short duration transients. [Optional] Ground Fault protection shall be provided to protect the motor from damage using the Residual Current method. An Alarm and 2 trip levels, each adjustable from 5 90% shall be available with separate trip times as follows: ALARM level preset at 5% with a 0.5 20 second delay. LOSET Trip level preset at 7% with a 1 20 second delay. HISET Trip level preset at 10% with an 8 250 millisecond delay. Line Frequency Window shall be programmable from a 1 6Hz variance from the nominal line frequency as entered by the user. It shall provide an adjustable trip delay of 1 20 seconds. Coast Down Lockout shall be provided to prevent restarting of the motor during backspin or other dangerous mechanical conditions after shutting off. The coast down lockout time shall be programmable between 0 and 60 minutes following a Stop command. Starts-per-Hour Lockout shall be provided to prevent damage to the motor from rapid cycling of start commands for any reason. The maximum starts-per-hour shall be programmable between 1 and 10 starts. Time Between Starts Lockout shall also be programmable to work with the above. A minimum time of between 0 and 60 minutes between start attempts shall prevent restarting too rapidly for the motor and load conditions as determined by the user. Acceleration Control shall be fully adjustable in programming to match any application. As a minimum, starter shall come complete with the following settings: Ramp Type: To ensure maximum flexibility in matching the load conditions in the field, the starter shall provide all of the following methods of closed loop acceleration ramp control: Voltage Ramp, Voltage Ramp with Current Limit, Current Limit Only (Current Step), Current Ramp (Torque Ramp) or up to 3 Custom Ramp profiles that can be programmed by the user. Starting Torque: Initial torque output shall be programmable as either Current or Voltage output, and adjustable between 0-100% of maximum Locked Rotor Torque (600% current) available from the motor.

Maximum Current Limit: To ensure reliability of starting under any circumstance that the motor can function in, Current Limit shall be adjustable between 200 and 600% of the unit rating. This will allow locked rotor current to be delivered to the motor if necessary. Lighter duty starters with lower current limit settings will not be acceptable. Ramp Time: The time between Initial Torque and Full Output shall be adjustable between 1 and 120 seconds. Dual Ramps: To accommodate changing load conditions, the starter shall provide 2 separately adjustable ramp profiles, selectable via a dry contact closure. Each ramp will provide all of the above features. Custom Ramp Curves shall be available that can be configured by the user to match any load or starting condition. Each of the 3 available custom curves can be profiled by entering 8 torque and time points. The starter shall create a smooth acceleration curve from these plotted axis points. Kick Start: To provide for starting difficult loads, the starter shall include a Kick Start feature that will apply a high output for a short time on initial start command. The Kick-Start voltage level shall be adjustable from 10 100% voltage, for 0.1-2 seconds max. Jog: For checking rotation at start-up or other testing procedures, the starter shall provide a programmable Jog feature, adjustable from 5 75% of line voltage. Deceleration Control (Ramp Down) shall be completely independent of any Accel Ramp settings and provide a fully adjustable Decel profile in order to avoid possible motor damage. Pre-programmed decel algorithm systems that do not allow contouring to match load conditions are not acceptable. Step Down Voltage: adjustable from 100 to 0% of line voltage, allowing the motor torque to drop off immediately to a level that affects output without waiting for a linear ramp. Deceleration Ramp Time: adjustable from 0 60 seconds to allow gentle controlled deceleration in excess of the natural coast-to-stop time of the load. Stop Voltage Level: adjustable from 100 0% of line voltage to automatically turn off the starter when the output torque has reached a desired level. Programming shall not allow the Stop level to be set higher than the Step Down Level. External timers shall not be needed to turn off the starter. Selectable Operation During Overload shall be available to allow the user to decide if the motor shall turn off or continue to Decelerate when an overload condition is detected. Starter Protection shall be provided to maintain reliability of both the equipment and the circuit components, with the following features: Shorted SCR Detection shall be standard. This function must automatically prevent a start sequence when at least one SCR is shorted. A means of having qualified service personnel defeat the lockout of this circuit MUST be provided to allow for Must Run situations. Shunt Trip Circuit shall be standard. This feature will instantly energize a dry relay contact that can be wired to a Shunt Trip coil of the circuit breaker in order to protect the motor from damage. This protection shall only operate if there is current flowing through any phase of the starter when in the Off condition, such as when there are multiple shorted SCRs or a bypass contactor stuck on. This feature shall be independent of the above Shorted SCR protection so that it cannot be defeated. Starter Over-temperature Trip shall be built-in and protect the SCRs from excessive heat build-up in the enclosure or heat sinks. Thermal sensors on the heat sinks shall be pre-wired to one of the programmable inputs that has been factory preset as the Over Temp input. Inputs shall be provided for the control and option selection of the starter as follows. Digital Inputs: All input and control devices shall be rated for 120VAC control or shall require dry contact closures without the need for external power supplies or interposing relays. On-Off Control shall be 120VAC to avoid potential problems with voltage drop in long control wire runs. The starter shall provide for 2-wire or 3-wire control schemes. Seal-In relay contact for the 3-wire control scheme shall be internal, dedicated to that use and not counted as an output contact.

Protection: RC snubber network circuits on each phase assembly. To avoid possible component damage, MOV protective devices shall be used only on the gate firing circuitry. Efficiency: 99.7% through SCRs, 99.97% in bypass mode. Control Method: To ensure reliable gate firing even when powered with on-site generators, firing circuits shall use individual phase transformer coupling method for maximum isolation and rapid rise of firing pulse. Noise Immunity: The gate firing circuitry shall be protected from electrical noise and transients to ensure reliable starting and firing of the SCRs under all power conditions, regardless of the available fault current or motor lead length. They shall be amplified and isolated from the control voltages by means of rugged encapsulated ring transformers that provide separate power sources for each set of SCR gate drives. The design shall allow for a back-porch DC carry-over of the firing pulse to prevent the SCRs from falsely turning off due to ringing of the output current or line notching caused by other connected equipment. The gate drive shall be maintained for 240 electrical degrees from the zero cross point to avoid motor switching transients. For additional reliability and to protect against EMI/RFI interface generated by the internal components, connections to the Digital Control Unit shall be fiber optic. When at all possible, the starter shall not require line reactors in the Medium Voltage power section. Those that do shall include them within the same enclosure as the starter and shall be UL listed in this configuration. Ambient Conditions Temperature: As a standard of unit design quality, starter shall be documented to show the design has been tested for 0 50 C (-32 to 122 F) operation, and Overload Capacity shall be rated at this temperature. Altitude: Humidity: Thermal: Electronics Non-Volatile Memory will be used throughout the control and protection systems.

The starter shall store all factory defaults in a preset replaceable EPROM memory chip. User Programming and statistical data shall be stored in EEPROM memory for ready alteration. Loss of power shall not affect memory status. For fast updates and operation, running programs shall use DRAM memory. The starter shall store the DRAM memory contents to the EEPROM upon power failure, and restore it upon return to normal. Data Sampling Critical operating data such as instantaneous current for Short Circuit, Ground Fault and Immediate Overload calculations shall be sampled every 2 milliseconds to prevent lagging operation. Non-Critical data shall be obtained from a true RMS calculation circuit, and sampled in a 350 millisecond moving window of individual phase currents. Real Time Clock with automatic leap-year updating shall be provided. This clock alone shall use a battery back-up with a Lithium-Ion battery rated for at least 10 years of continuous operation without power applied. The clock shall be capable of being reset in the field after changing the battery, without affecting any other stored information. 2.08 {OPTIONAL) VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER SECTION 3300 ft (1000 m) maximum without de-rating. 0 95% RH, non-condensing.
