2.12.3 Different overload current
If load cycles or start frequencies are different, the following graphs can be
used for reading the possible time current combination.
The example shown here is a 30 kW motor (400 V, 55 A) with an assigned
DS7-34xSX055… soft starter (55 A, rated operational current = motor
current). The maximum starting current of 165 A (I
LRP
) can be achieved for
5 s at 10 starts per hour (overload factor X = 3).
e
The prospective locked rotor current I
LRP
is the motor current that occurs
when the rated operating voltage is applied and the rotor is locked
(I
LRP
=XxI
e
).
