MCD 500 Operating Instruction 4.1.6 Power Terminations Use only copper stranded or solid conductors, rated for 75r C. NOTE Some units are aluminium bus bars. When connecting power terminations, we recommend cleaning the surface contact area thoroughly (using an emery or stainless steel brush) and using an appropriate jointing compound to prevent corrosion.
Electrical Installation MCD 500 Operating Instruction NOTE 4.1.7 Motor Connection MCD 500 soft starters can be connected to the motor in-line or inside delta (also called three-wire and six-wire connection). The MCD 500 will automatically detect the motor connection and perform the necessary calculations internally, so it is only necessary to program the motor full load current (par. 1-1). For personnel safety, the power terminals on models up to MCD5-0105B are protected by snap-off tabs.
Electrical Installation MCD 500 Operating Instruction 4.2.3 In-line Installation, Externally Bypassed Non-bypassed models have dedicated bypass terminals, which allow the soft starter to continue providing protection and monitoring functions even when bypassed via external contactor. The bypass contactor must be connected to the bypass terminals and controlled by a programmable output configured to Run (see par. 4.1 - 4.9).

Application Examples MCD 500 Operating Instruction 5 Application Examples • The memory function of the model means that the motor is fully protected in “warm start” situations. The model uses data from the real time clock to account for elapsed cooling time, even if control power has been removed. 5.1 Motor Overload Protection The thermal model used for motor overload in the MCD 500 has two components: Motor Body: This has a large thermal capacity and affects the long term behaviour of the motor.
MCD 500 Operating Instruction zero speed and at maximum speed. During each subsequent start and stop, the starter dynamically adjusts its control to ensure the motor's actual performance matches the selected profile throughout the start. The starter increases power to the motor if the actual speed is too low for the profile, or decreases power if the speed is too high. pump where pipeline pressure needs to build up slowly).

Application Examples MCD 500 Operating Instruction 5.8 Installation with Main Contactor The MCD 500 is installed with a main contactor (AC3 rated). Control voltage must be supplied from the input side of the contactor. The main contactor is controlled by the MCD 500 Main Contactor output, which by default is assigned to Output Relay A (terminals 13, 14).
Application Examples MCD 500 Operating Instruction 5.9 Installation with Bypass Contactor The MCD 500 is installed with a bypass contactor (AC1 rated). The bypass contactor is controlled by the MCD 500 Run Output which by default is assigned to Output Relay B (terminals 21, 22, 24).

Application Examples MCD 500 Operating Instruction 5.10 Emergency Run Operation In normal operation the MCD 500 is controlled via a remote two wire signal (terminals 17, 18). Emergency Run is controlled by a two wire circuit connected to Input A (terminals 11, 16). Closing Input A causes the MCD 500 to run the motor and ignore all trip conditions.
Application Examples MCD 500 Operating Instruction 5.11 Auxiliary Trip Circuit In normal operation the MCD 500 is controlled via a remote two wire signal (terminals 17, 18). Input A (terminals 11, 16) is connected to an external trip circuit (such as a low pressure alarm switch for a pumping system). When the external circuit activates, the soft starter trips, which stops the motor.
Application Examples MCD 500 Operating Instruction 5.12 Soft Braking For high inertia loads the MCD 500 can be configured for soft braking. In this application the MCD 500 is employed with forward run and braking contactors. When MCD 500 receives a start signal (button S1), it closes the forward run contactor (KM1) and controls the motor according to the programmed primary motor settings.
MCD 500 Operating Instruction NOTE If the MCD-500 trips on supply frequency (Par. 16-5 Frequency) when the braking contactor KM2 opens, modify the setting of Pars. 2-8 - 2-10. 5.13 Two Speed Motor The MCD 500 can be configured for control of dual speed Dahlander type motors, using a high speed contactor (KM1), low speed contactor (KM2) and a star contactor (KM3).
