If a starting torque of 100 % is required, single-phase drum motors,should be connected to a 
starting capacitor and a run capacitor. An operation without starting capacitor can reduce the 
starting torque to 70 % of the rated torque listed in the Interroll catalog.
Connect the starting capacitors according to the connection diagrams (See "Connection 
diagrams for the S-series", page 44).
 
The motor must always be installed together with a suitable motor protection, e.g. a motor circuit 
breaker or frequency inverter with overcurrent protective function. The protective device must be 
adjusted to the rated current of the respective motor (see type plate).
 
 CAUTION
Accidental motor start
Risk of crushing for fingers
4
 Connect the integrated thermal circuit breaker to an external control device that interrupts 
the current supply to the motor at all poles in case of overheating.
4
 After the thermal circuit breaker has tripped, examine and remove the cause for overheating 
before the current supply is reactivated.
The standard maximum switching current of the thermal circuit breaker is 2.5 A. For other 
options, please contact Interroll.
For operational safety, the motor must be safeguarded against overload with an external motor 
protection as well as an integrated thermal protection; otherwise, no warranty can be applied if 
the motor should fail.
 
Asynchronous drum motors can be operated with frequency inverters. Frequency inverters from 
Interroll are general adjusted to factory setting and have to be parameterized for the respective 
drum motor. For this purpose, Interroll can supply parameterization instructions. In this case, 
please contact your local Interroll partner.
4
  If no frequency inverter from Interroll is used, the frequency inverter must be correctly 
parameterized according to the specified motor data. Interroll can provide only very limited 
support for frequency inverters that are not being sold by Interroll.
4
  Resonance frequencies in the power supply line must be prevented since the create voltage 
spikes in the motor.
    If the cable is too long, frequency inverters generate resonance frequencies in the line 
between frequency inverter and motor.
4
  Use a completely shielded cable to connect the frequency inverter to the motor.
4  Install a sine-wave filter or a motor choke if the cable is longer than 10 meter or if a 
frequency inverter controls several motors.
4
  Ensure that the cable shield is connected to a grounded part according to the 
electrotechnical guidelines and local EMC recommendations.
4
  Always observe the installation guidelines of the frequency inverter manufacturer.
