Example
A motor with the values shown below is to be operated with an EMS2
electronic motor starter.
Questions:
• Is operation possible?
• How should the motor starter be mounted?
Checks:
Step 1:
Check to see if the motor starter is suitable for the maximum current (56 A).
I
max
= I
Mot
x startup factor = 4.7 A x 8.5 = 39.95 A < 56 A
Step 2:
Which motor current is permissible at an ambient temperature of 55 °C?
(￫ Figure 8, page 17)
• in a row: 4A < 4.7A
→ not permissible!
• at a distance of 20 mm: 6.5 A > 4.7 A
→ permissible!
Conclusion:
The EMS2 motor starter can be used for this application, but must be
mounted with a distance of at least 20 mm between the devices.
