Ventilation for Enclosures

When fitting an SR44 into an electrical enclosure, ventilation must be
provided if the heat output of the unit is greater than the enclosure will
dissipate.
If the enclosure cannot dissipate enough heat, use the following formula SR44-KPD Mounting Dimensions
to determine the fan requirement. An allowance has been incorporated 4 in (approximate)
into the formula so that the figure for “Q” is the air delivery quoted in the

** Start Time and Stop Time define the length of time the soft starter varies the voltage to the motor. While a Variable Frequency Drive (AC Drive) can define
motor speed throughout the acceleration and deceleration ramps by varying its output frequency, a soft starter only controls average voltage to the motor and
cannot accurately control motor speed. Therefore, motor speed during acceleration and deceleration can vary with load. Example: a conveyor soft starter
could have a Start Time of 10s. If the conveyor is empty, the motor may actually reach top speed in 8s. If the conveyor is heavily loaded, the motor may not
reach full speed until 10s. For more information, please see the SR55 User Manual - “Appendix B: Soft Starter Application Considerations.”

SR55 Energy-Saving iERS Feature
Intelligent Energy Recovery System How Much Will iERS Save?
iERS is an advanced SR55 feature that can reduce the The savings realized by using iERS will vary by application, how

iERS matches the power consumption to the load by moni- While these factors can be difficult to quantify, the following esti-

From Table 1, use the estimated savings figure for the next higher
rating, i.e. 55 kW = 3.5% of full rated kW.
From Table 2, apply the pole-number factor of -0.5 %.
The savings would be approximately (3.5 % - 0.5 %) x 37.5 kW =
1.125 kW.
Savings % = kW saved / (30% loaded motor kW)
= 1.125 kW / (30% x 37.5 kW) = 10%.
Real-world applications:
iERS has been installed in many pump-jack applications (for oil
drilling, etc.). The cycle of a pump jack is extreme; for part of the
cycle the pump requires near-full torque. In the other part of the
cycle, the pump jack is very lightly loaded. In this extreme appli-
cation, iERS reduced average power consumed by the pump jack
(over 30-minute intervals) from 23.99kW down to 19.85kW. This
is a 17% reduction in consumed power. Again, this is an extreme
example and is not indicative of what a typical application may
save.
iERS has been installed on metal grinding equipment. A machine
that was retrofitted with an iERS starter had a 75hp motor on a
spindle that typically ran at about 20–30% of full load. iERS was
able to reduce the energy consumed by this motor by 13–15%.

SR55-242 to SR55-477 242 to 500 AC-53a: 3.5-17; 90-3
* Index ratings AC-53a and AC-53b are specified by IEC standard # 60947-4-2.
IEC Index Ratings are comprised of Rated Operational Current (Ie), Utilization Category, Overload
Current Profile (X-Tx), and Duty Cycle (F-S) or OFF-time.
Index Rating Example – Standard Operation (AC-53a Utilization Category per IEC 60947-4-2)
17 to 195 - AC-53a: 3.5-17; 90-5
Duty Cycle (F-S)
90-5 = 90% duty cycle - 5 cycles/hr
[if multiple starts/hr are required, 90% D.C. requires off time ≥ 10% of previous run time]
3.5-17 = 3.5 times rated current (Ie) for 17s
AC-53a = controller semiconductors provide squirrel-cage motor Start, Run, and Stop control

Time (Tx)
X denotes the overload current as a multiple of Ie and repre-
Duty (F)
sents the maximum value of operating current due to starting,
operating, or maneuvering under overload conditions.
For example, X = 3.5 means that the maximum overload start SR55-017 017
current allowed is 3.5 times FLC. SR55-021 021
Tx denotes the duration of the controlled overload currents SR55-027 027
during starting, stopping, operating, or maneuvering.
SR55-034 034
For example, Tx = 17 means that the maximum allowed over-
SR55-040 040
load current is permitted for up to 17 seconds only.
SR55-052 052
The Duty Cycle is expressed by two symbols, F and S which 5
describe the duty and also set the time that must be allowed SR55-065 065
for cooling. SR55-077 077
F is the ratio of the on-load period to the total period expressed SR55-096 096 3.5 17 90%
as a percentage. SR55-124 124
For example, F= 90 means that the soft starter is ON for 90% SR55-156 156
of the time and then OFF for 10% of the time between each
SR55-180 180
start.
SR55-242 242
If there are not multiple starts per hour, then the Duty Cycle
is continuous. SR55-302 302
S is the number of starts or operating cycles per hour. SR55-361 361 3
For example, S = 5 means that the soft starter is capable of 5 SR55-414 414
equally spaced starts per hour. SR55-477 477
These characteristics are summarized in Figure 1.

SR55 Increased Starts per Hour – Derating
If more than the standard number of starts/hour is required, the SR55 must be derated. To derate for more starts/hour, the motor
full load current must be less than the SR55 current. The relationship between the SR55 deration and the starts/hour is given
below in Figure 2 and the two examples that follow. This assumes that the SR55 is still operating at the same duty (F) as given in
Figure 1.
