Motor Control Solutions Introduction Introduction Schneider Electric offers a wide range of solutions to meet your motor control and protection needs. This data bulletin contains information regarding the application of those solutions in the United States and Canada. Overview of U.S. Standards and Regulations U.S. National Standards Figure 1 outlines the national standards governing electrical installations in the U.S.
Overview of U.S.
Motor Control Solutions Structure of a Motor Starter in Accordance with UL 508A Structure of a Motor Starter in Accordance with UL 508A Feeder Circuits and Branch Circuits The feeder circuit includes all power conductors and components from the incoming feeder disconnect to the line side of the last branch short-circuit protection device (SCPD). The branch circuit includes all power conductors and components from the load side of the branch circuit SCPD to the controller load-side connections.
Structure of a Motor Starter in Accordance with UL 508A Motor Control Solutions Group Motor Installations In a group motor installation, a single disconnecting means and SCPD can be used for a group of motors. The specific rules are described in NEC Sections 430-112 and 430-53. Group motor installations are used in the following applications: • Fractional hp motors—NEC Section 430.
Motor Control Solutions Structure of a Motor Starter in Accordance with UL 508A Required Functions of Combination Starters Combination starters are the most common type of packaged motor controllers. They are called combination because of their construction and combined functions. NEC Article 430 defines the required functions of combination starters. Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.
Combination Starter Construction Types Motor Control Solutions Combination Starter Construction Types UL 508 is the UL safety standard for industrial control equipment. Part IV defines the component functions, construction, testing, and performance requirements of six styles of combination starters.
Motor Control Solutions Combination Starter Construction Types UL Combination Starter Types A through D UL 508 Types A through D combination starters are traditional style starters that use either a listed disconnect switch and fuses or a listed circuit breaker as the disconnect means and short circuit protection. Each type uses a separate UL 508 listed motor controller and overload relay. These starters are evaluated by UL under the same set of short circuit performance tests.
Combination Starter Construction Types Motor Control Solutions Construction Type Selection Panel designers may choose any of the six construction types for their motor control panel with each construction type offering different advantages. Construction Types A through D all utilize the same motor controllers and overload relays.
Motor Control Solutions Combination Starter Construction Types On the branch circuit, the following are permitted as the disconnecting means when installed between the final motor branch circuit short circuit protection and the motor: • Any UL 508 switch that is suitable as a motor disconnect (according to NEC Section 430.81), which is used to start and stop a motor A manual motor controller that is suitable as a motor disconnect (according to NEC Section 430.
Disconnecting Means Motor Control Solutions Disconnecting Means A disconnecting means must be provided for each incoming supply (branch) circuit, and must open each ungrounded conductor of the supply circuit.
Motor Control Solutions SCCR Requirement in UL 508 A SCCR Requirement in UL 508 A NEC Article 409, NFPA 79, and UL 508A require that the SCCR be marked on all control panels. The final builder or assembler of the equipment inside the panel is responsible for providing the SCCR for the overall panel, determined by one of the following three options: • • • Testing each panel construction and recording the construction in the follow-up procedure.
SCCR Requirement in UL 508 A Motor Control Solutions Method 3 is often called tested combination rating. Individual motor branch circuit components are tested together in specific combinations to achieve a system rating. This system rating is not specifically limited by each individual component rating. It is important to note that use of one method only is not required. It is very common to find systems that utilize two, if not all three, methods for determining SCCRs.

Combination Starter Solutions Motor Control Solutions Combination Starter Solutions UL 508 Type A Construction Type A utilizes four separate devices to achieve the four functions required for protection. The disconnecting means is achieved via a UL 98 manual disconnect switch. The motor branch circuit protection is achieved using UL 248 fuses. The motor controller and motor overload relay used are UL 508 contactors and UL 508 overload relays.
Motor Control Solutions Combination Starter Solutions As previously mentioned, a UL 508 starter is a combination of a UL 508 contactor and a UL 508 overload relay. Therefore, the use of UL 508 starters also meets construction Type C.
Combination Starter Solutions Motor Control Solutions UL 508 Type F Construction Type F is similar to Type E, but uses two devices. The disconnecting means, motor branch circuit protection, and motor overload relay functions are all combined into one device, a UL 508 manual self-protected combination controller while the motor controller is kept separate in the form of a UL 508 contactor.
