LED Display LCD Display
Range 50 – 600 % of FLA (Default 100%)
Description The Initial Motor Current 1 parameter is set as a percentage of the Motor FLA (P1 / QST 01) parameter
setting. The Initial Current 1 parameter sets the current that is initially supplied to the motor when a start is
commanded. The initial current should be set to the level that allows the motor to begin rotating within a
couple of seconds of receiving a start command.
To adjust the initial current setting, give the starter a run command. Observe the motor to see how long it
takes before it begins rotating and then stop the unit. For every second that the motor doesn’t rotate, increase
the initial current by 20%. Typical loads require an initial current in the range of 50% to 175%.
If the motor does not rotate within a few seconds after a start command, the initial current should be increased.
If the motor accelerates too quickly after a start command, the initial current should be decreased.
The Initial Current 1 parameter must be set to a value that is lower than the Maximum Current 1 (P7 / QST
07) parameter setting.
