Table 38: 2-2 - Start Ramp Time
0:01–3:00 (minutes:sec-
onds)
Sets the total start time for an adaptive control start or the ramp time for current ramp start-
ing (from the initial current to the current limit).
Table 39: 2-3 - Initial Current
Sets the initial start current level for current ramp starting as a percentage of motor full load current. Set so
that the motor begins to accelerate immediately after a start is initiated. If current ramp starting is not re-
quired, set the initial current equal to the current limit.
Table 40: 2-4 - Current Limit
Sets the current limit for constant current and current ramp soft starting as a percentage of motor full
load current.
Table 41: 2-5 - Adaptive Start Profile
Selects which profile the VLT® Soft StarterMCD 600 uses for an adaptive control soft start.
N O T I C E
The MCD 600 applies the current limit on all soft starts, including adaptive control. If the current
limit is too low or the start ramp time (parameter 2-2 Start Ramp Time) is too short, the motor may
not start successfully.
Table 42: 2-6 - Kickstart Time
Sets the kickstart duration. A setting of 0 disables kickstart.
Table 43: 2-7 - Kickstart Level
Sets the level of the kickstart current.
N O T I C E
Kickstart subjects the mechanical equipment to increased torque levels. Ensure that the motor, load,
and couplings can handle the additional torque before using this feature.
