Definitions
- the present application is directed to the field of motor starters, and, in particular, starters offering control and protection for motors having separable windings configured for multiple, discrete operating speeds and/or modes.
- starters In building automation systems, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) installations, pumping systems, and other industrial implementations, it is common to use starters or starter mechanisms to control and protect motors. Starters for motors and the like are generally well known in the art. Typical starters comprise thermal trip elements plus contactors to disconnect a motor from line power in the event of an undesirable operating condition. The National Electric Code (NEC) classifies combination starters as devices that provide thermal overload protection and motor disconnect functionality.
- NEC National Electric Code
- a traditional starter Key components of a traditional starter include an electromagnetic contactor and an overload relay.
- the circuitry of such traditional starters offers both motor control and motor protection functionality via a single device that is ideally specifically selected or calibrated for the particular motor being controlled. Operation of the motor (e.g., starting and stopping the motor, etc.) can be controlled through modulation of the contactor, which includes separable contacts that are electromechanically/electromagnetically operated by an energized or de-energized coil. Closing the contacts allows line power to energize the motor, while opening the contacts cuts of power from the motor.
- starters also are able to provide thermal protection (i.e., overload protection) to a motor to protect it against unfavorable operating conditions.
- Traditional starters typically include an overload relay provided for this purpose. Overload conditions occur when equipment is operated in an electrically undamaged circuit in excess of the normal full load current rating (e.g., the conductors carry current in excess of the rated amperage). The overload is detected by the overload relay with reference to the applicable current trip point (expressed as a trip curve, which designates trip points as a function of current and time for a given motor classification). Overload conditions persisting for a sufficient amount of time can damage the motor, conductors, or other equipment.
- overload protection
- overload relay are defined by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) standard ICS2, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- NEMA National Electrical Manufacturers Association
- typical overload relays were implemented using heater/detector elements, such as using bimetallic relays or thermal heater elements.
- electronic overloads have been increasingly used. Electronic overloads may include a current transformer or current sensor to detect and monitor current supplied to the motor.
- starters that operate motors having separable windings are required to employ overload relays and corresponding overload trip circuits for each separate winding in order to ensure that the proper level of thermal protection is afforded to the motor for each specific winding and for each separate, discrete operating speed/mode for the motor.
- overload relays and corresponding overload trip circuits for each separate winding in order to ensure that the proper level of thermal protection is afforded to the motor for each specific winding and for each separate, discrete operating speed/mode for the motor.
- While starters are well known in the art, present embodiments provide novel and nonobvious improvements to solve problems Applicants have discovered with conventional product offerings and traditional installations. Present embodiments can provide integrated novel and nonobvious functionality consolidated into a unitary starter housing, thus offering significant cost savings, facilitated installation/operation, and other advantages and/or improvements over conventional starters. Starters consistent with the present application can be employed for protection and control of the wide variety of separable-winding motors or configurable-winding motors that are commercially available. Some such motors are delta-wye motors, some are two-speed motors (either as two running speeds, or one speed to start and one to run), etc. However, consistent with the present application, present starter embodiments are intended for substantially any of such varied configurable-winding motors types.
- present starter apparatuses do not require multiple overloads relays and separate overload trip circuits for each motor winding.
- Present embodiments can employ one overload device by taking advantage of a programmable microcomputer/microcontroller that knows the applicable overload state and can appropriately and independently control multiple discrete contactors appropriately.
- two or more contactors can be provided for a high or low run speed, or for alternative conditions such as a start condition and a run condition, as appropriate for the motor with multiple windings.
- the microcontroller can keep track of, and control the motor for operation within, the specific requirements of each speed or operating condition for each separate motor winding, including each corresponding level of overload protection required.
- Embodiments can be aware of the appropriate level overload protection required in each operating state and appropriately control a corresponding contactor according to the applicable overload protection requirements.
- starter embodiments can also include additionally and/or alternatively desirable functionality, depending on the given installation.
- functionality embodied in a separable-winding motor starter, can include universal voltage input, true power characteristic sensing for status output/annunciation, integrated damper control, and substantially automated trip point selection and/or implementation based, at least in part, on startup conditions and/or specified system parameters (e.g., full load amperage (FLA), motor classification, etc.).

- SCM starter control module
- An SCM can include components such as a meter base and a custom interface printed circuit board assembly to cooperatively facilitate motor control and/or protection.
- the specific electronics comprising the SCM can be further adapted, selected, and/or configured so as to facilitate optimization for an particular intended operating environment/application, such as to substantially represent an energy management starter (e.g., for HVAC implementations, etc.), a building automation starter (e.g., for industrial control applications, etc.), or an intelligent pump starter (e.g., for pump control applications, etc.).

- Current sensor 106 provides a current measurement signal, voltage, or other output 222 suitable for metering and/or overload protection purposes. While FIG. 2 illustrates one current sensor 106 , it is understood that current could be measured from one or more of the 3-phase power lines 224 .
- Meter base 104 of FIG. 2 also includes a voltage sensor 232 for monitoring line voltage. Similarly, voltage could be measured from one or more of the 3-phase power lines 224 .
- Such an embodiment can substantially accommodate wide-range power supply and wide-range voltage sensing. Measuring both current and voltage also affords embodiments consistent with the present subject matter the ability to calculate true power consumption.
- control board 102 can also include user interface controls, such as a hand-off-auto control source switch 208 and the low-off-high motor speed switch 210 .
- Control source switch 208 allows a user to select between operating the starter embodiment by hand commands, such as through the use of the motor speed switch 210 , or commands driven from a remote controller, such as might be implemented in a building automation system.
- control board 102 is configured for receiving multiple control inputs, such as an auto-low command 212 an auto-high command 214 and a shutdown command 216 . Suitable output signals can also be generated by control board 102 , such as run status signal 218 or fault signal 220 .
- a particularly advantageous aspect of starter embodiments includes the ability of a single control board 102 to control/operate and protect two-speed motor 200 in either and/or both speeds/modes. Consistent with the present subject matter, motor control board 102 can be employed to control and protect motor 200 via coordinated operation of high speed contactor 202 , including separable contacts 228 , and/or low speed contactor 204 , including separable contacts 230 .

- the embodiment can also implement a time delay (e.g., 0.3 seconds, etc.) before activating any contactor, thus helping prevent a mechanical jam in the interlock mechanism 206 .
- a time delay e.g., 0.3 seconds, etc.
- the time delay may or may not be made to be adjustable/configurable and/or removable by end users.

- Such embodiments can use the same sensors for multiple aspects of alternative functionality.
- current sensor 106 can be used to provide overload protection and a run status indication 218 .
- status output can be provided to indicate the condition. This can happen with or without a corresponding trip command being given.
- Control board 102 can also offer energy management functionality. Monitored current 222 via current sensor 106 and voltage via voltage sensor 232 can substantially allow for power metering at meter base 104 .
- one or more starter embodiments can employ manual and/or self-calibrating overloads to provide both status indication and overload protection in a combined device.
- the functionality of such embodiments can also include auto sensing for status annunciation based on the monitored current 222 being at least a pre-specified percentage of full-load amperage (FLA).
- the FLA can be initially provided to control board 102 operating memory for each motor winding, or automatically determined via a self-calibrating overload circuit/relay.
- the two-speed two-winding starter is designed based on one or more previously discussed control board features.
- present starter embodiments have two separate motor full load current/amperage settings (one for each winding), two auto start inputs (Auto Low and Auto High), and a deceleration timer setting, to allow for sufficient deceleration of the motor before engaging a contactor to drive the motor at a lower speed than that at which the motor was previously operating.
- FIG. 3 illustrates one embodiment of steps that may be included in a starter methodology consistent with the present subject matter.
- the process begins at by determining which control source is indicated by the control switch 300 . If the HOA switch is in Hand position 302 and starter is not in Shutdown mode 304 (in which case the starter would await an alternate control command 340 ) and speed switch 306 is set to Low-speed 310 or High-speed 308 position, the starter embodiment can provide output to operate Low-speed contactor 312 or High-speed contactor 314 accordingly, and the corresponding operative overload current setting can be changed to the value corresponding to that winding setting selected ( 316 for Low-speed winding and 318 for High-speed winding).
- Embodiments can employ a cooling timer, employed, at least in part, to help ensure a sufficient amount of time passes between switching contactors being operated (to help avoid jams, signal conflicts, etc.).
- cooling timer can be reset 320 .
- a deceleration timer 342 can provide a time delay before engaging Low-speed contactor, measured from when the High-speed switch input was disabled. If High speed is started again, the deceleration timer can be reset. Because each setting and contactor can operate as a separate, independent circuit, If the starter trips on an overload condition in one speed setting, the other speed setting can be implemented with its own overload setting.
- HOA switch 300 if HOA switch 300 is in Auto position 322 and the starter is not in Shutdown mode 324 the starter determines what Auto input is being received 326 . If Auto Low-speed input 330 or Auto High-speed input 328 is active, the starter operates to provide output to Low-speed contactor 334 or High-speed contactor 332 , respectively, and the appropriate corresponding overload current setting is employed ( 336 for High-speed winding and 338 for Low-speed winding). After a contactor is selected/energized, cool timer 320 can be reset.
- a deceleration timer 346 can be employed, at least in part, to help provide a sufficient time delay before operating the Low-speed contactor 334 , measured from the when the Auto High-speed input 328 was disabled. If High-speed contactor 332 is started again, the deceleration timer can be reset. If the starter embodiment trips on overload in any selected speed, another speed can be started with its own corresponding overload setting.
- a starter embodiment can employ a methodology wherein if HOA switch is in Auto position 322 and both Auto inputs 328 , 330 are active/received, the starter can activate High-speed contactor 332 and deceleration timer 346 will be activated if/when Auto High-speed input is disabled.
- starter embodiments can include additional steps for additional advantageous features. For example, a run status output can be activated based on an active power consumption level being calculated that is at least a predetermined percentage of the activated winding's FLA setting. Also, starters consistent with the present subject matter can include additional advantageous functionality controlled, at least in part, by the control board. One such example could include AC or DC damper control functionality, as but one example.
