Undervoltage causes excessive torques and current surges which place inadmissible strains on the motor. The
voltage at which motors do no longer start up is in the range of (0.55 … 0.70) V
rated,M
. If no data are available,
use the empirical value of approx. 70% of the rated voltage for setting the parameter Threshold. Set the
Operate delay so that it slightly overlaps the tripping time of the overcurrent protection for the power-
plant auxiliary power. Unless otherwise required by the motor manufacturer, set an Operate delay
between 0.5 s and 3 s. The shorter time should be preferred.
