z NOTE: Depending on loading, the motor may achieve full speed at any time during the Power ramp. This
means that the Maximum Power level may not be reached. Therefore, the maximum power level is the
maximum power level that is permitted. However, the motor power may not necessarily reach this value
during all starts.
Ramp Time When in Power acceleration mode, the ramp time setting is the time it takes for the power to go from the
initial power setting to the maximum power setting. To make the motor accelerate faster, decrease the ramp
time. To make the motor accelerate slower, increase the ramp time.
If the ramp time expires before the motor reaches full speed, the starter maintains the Maximum Power level
until either the motor reaches full speed, the UTS timer expires, or the motor thermal overload protection trips.
z NOTE: Setting the ramp time to a specific value does not necessarily mean that the motor takes that exact
amount of time to accelerate to full speed. The motor and load may achieve full speed before the ramp time
expires if the load does not require the set ramp time or set power level to reach full speed. Alternately, the
motor and load may take longer than the set ramp time to achieve full speed depending on the parameter
settings and load level.
