The BA 9026 slowly ramps up the current on three phases, therefore allowing the motor torque to build up slowly. This reduces the mechanical stress or the machine and prevents damage to conveyed material. When the motor is up to full speed the semiconductors in BA 9026 are bridged to prevent internal power losses and heat build up to addition BA 9026 allows a softstop function prolonging the stop time of the motor preventing high counter torques from abruptly stopping the motor.

A 24 V DC auxiliary supply is connected to terminals A1, A2 and a 24 V DC control signal connected to terminals X1-X2. When power is connected to terminals L1, L2, L3 and 24 V DC is present at terminals X1-X2, the softstart will commence. Potentiometer "tan " (0,5-5s) adjustst the ramp time (time motor takes to get to full speed) and potentiometer "Man" adjusts the start voltage (50-80 % nomV). When the softstart is complete the internal semiconductors are automatically bridged. When 24 V DC is removed from terminals X1-X2, the softstop function will commence for the deceleration time period set on potentiometer "tab" (0,5-5s) and deceleration voltage level set on potentiometer "Mab " (30-80 % nomV). Notes Motor load must always be connected as continuous operation of the softstart with no load may cause overheating of the motor and softstart. It is recomended that the softstart is protected by superfast semiconductor fuses rated as per the current rating of the softstart of motor. However, standard line and motor protection is acceptable, but for high starting frequencies motor winding temperature monitoring is recommended.

Start the motor and turn potentiometer "Man " up until the motor starts to turn without excessive humming. Stop the motor and restart. Adjust potentiometer "tan " to give the desired ramp time. Stop and restart the motor. Adjust potentiometer "Mab" until the motor starts to visibly slow down at the initiation of the softstop cycle. Stop and restart the motor. Adjust potentiometer "t ab" to give the desired deceleration time. Stop and restart the motor, readjusting the potentiometers until the desired starting/stopping characteristics are achieved. 45 x 74 x 121 mm Standard type BA 9026 3 AC 200 ... 460 V 50/60 Hz 3 kW Article number: 0046450 • Nominal voltage: 3 AC 200 ... 460 V • Nominal motor power: 3 kW • Width: 45 mm stock item BA 9026 features overtemperature monitoring of its internal power semiconductors. When the safe running temperature is exceeded the power semiconductors will turn off and a red LED on the front of the unit will illuminate. BA 9026 can be reset after the semiconductors have cooled down by momentarily removing the auxiliary supply voltage. Safety instructions - Never clear a fault when the device is switched on - Attention: This device can be started by potential-free contact, while connected directly to the mains without contactor (see application example). Please note, that even if the motor is at rest, it is not physically separated from the mains. Because of this the motor must be disconnected from the mains via the corresponding manual motor starter. - The user must ensure that the device and the necessary components are mounted and connected according to the locally applicable regulations and technical standards. - Adjustments may only be carried out by qualified specialist staff and the applicable safety rules must be observed.
