Highlights:
Wound rotor motors are typically used in applications requiring high
starting torques, a limited number of operating speeds, or a stepped
acceleration to achieve a soft start. Typical existing applications utilize
an electromechanical starter on the stator and introduce multiple stag-
es of resistance in the rotor via contactor arrangements to achieve a
soft ramp.
With the RediStart MX
3
, wound rotor control is greatly simplified.
The RediStart consists of two major sections: 1) A solid-state stator
control, and 2) secondary resistors into the rotor circuit from
a separate 3-phase resistor bank. This achieves the high torque re-
quired by the application—with low inrush—while providing a smooth
stepless start. This greatly reduces the maintenance cost of the typi-
cal electromechanical control.
Single Step Rotor Control: The solid-state starter is wired to the mo-
tor stator circuit, and the resistor and shorting contactor are wired to
the motor rotor circuit. The solid state starter accelerates the motor to
slip speed (determined by the resistance value) and then activates the
contactor to short the rotor. This allows the motor to accelerate to full
speed.
Multiple Step Rotor Circuit: WR RVSS series starters can be sup-
plied with multiple stages of rotor resistor and contactor combina-
tions. This arrangement may be necessary for multiple step starting
of extremely high inertia loads, or for continuous operation at multiple
speeds. Multiple steps of rotor resistance can be coordinated
to achieve this.
Variable Speed Control: Variable speed control of wound rotor
motors can be accomplished with the RediStart series control. By
maintaining full output voltage of the control going to the stator of the
wound rotor motor, and varying the resistance in the rotor, variable
speed is accomplished.
Resistors must be rated for continuous duty operations. Variable
loads (pumps and fans) only.
