DESCRIPTI
ON
A ABB 300-Line full voltage magnetic c
o
mbination starter consists of a magnetic c
ontactor with a three leg block overload
relay and a manually operated circuit
breaker or disconnect switch. The
disconnect
switch may either be fusible or
non-fusible. The
non-fusible disconnect
switch prov
ides a means of manually
disconnecti
ng the motor from the line. The
circuit break er or fusible disconnect switch
provides m
otor branch short-circuit
protection.
The overload relay provides,
motor prote ction against running and
stalled mot
or overload.
The overload relay is provided with a
yellow trip indicator which is located to
the right of the reset arm, and is visible
when the overload relay is tripped.
FEATURES
1. Strongbox coil.
2.
Overload relay, incorporates a dial for
±10% field adjustment of tripping current,
so that it is no longer necessary to change
heaters to eliminate such problems as
nuisance tripping in hot weather.
3. Overload trip indicator.
4. Straight through wiring.
5. Oversized power terminals will
accommodate up to #4 wire.
6. Starter can be disassembled and
inspected in a matter of seconds.
7.Circuit breaker or disconnect switch is
mechanically interlocked with the
enclosure door to prevent opening the door
until the handle is moved to the OFF
position.
COIL REMOVAL
The encapsulated coil is impervious
to moisture, dirt, and oil. It resists
mechanical damage and failure due
to high humidity. No tools are
required to remove coil.
1. Remove power from device.
2. Press against coil while pulling up
slightly on coil retainers (A—Figure 1
or 2) and move retainers away from
coil.
3. Withdraw magnet assembly, coil,
molded cover, and movable arm
from device.
4. Withdraw spring clip (B—Figure 1
or 2) and remove armature from
movable arm.
5. Remove coil from magnet.
6.
Replace coil.
7. Reassemble device by reversing
procedure.
2. Clean magnet mating surfaces
of any dust or foreign matter.
3.
Select heaters in accordance
with heater table, which
accompanies each device.
4. Operate movable magnet and
operating arm by pressing on the
nameplate to assure free
movement.
5. Mount the starter on a sturdy
vertical support.
6. The overload relay may be reset
manually by depressing and
releasing the reset arm. Overload
relays with an optional normally
open contact are electrically
isolated from the normally closed
contact.
7. Provide motor branch circuit
protection in accordance with the
National Electrical Code.
CONTACT REMOVAL
Movable contacts can be inspected
and replaced in seconds—without
tools (Figure 3).
WARN
ING: Disconnect
power before Installing or
servicing.
