FOR STARTING FROM GENERATOR ALWAYS TRY START CURVE 0 FIRST!
1. When starting from a Diesel – Generator, the voltage regulator (especially older type regulators) may be
affected during the starting process and cause a rapid voltage fluctuations. In these rare cases, the voltage
regulator must be upgraded – consult your Diesel-Generator Supplier.
2. When operating from Diesel Generator verify that power factor capacitors are not used.
3. In applications that may start both from generator and from mains, ensure that power factor capacitors, if used,
are disconnected before starting from the generator.
4. Ensure that Diesel Generator size is suitable. It is recommended that Generator KVA is 2.5 times motor KVA
or larger.
WARNING
1. Motor can not run idle and must be loaded when operating in Generator Mode, otherwise vibration may
occur during starting and stopping.
2. When using extended range, use maximum precaution to avoid motor or starter burnout.
3. Disconnect all other loads before starting for the first time to prevent damages due to voltage fluctuations.
4. Disconnect Power Factor capacitors when operating with Diesel Generator
