Section 1Introduction
Square D
Motorpact medium voltage (MV) motor controllers feature a

one-high design, with drawout contactors and a completely isolated low
voltage (LV) control compartment. When combined with other electrical
distribution and control products from Schneider Electric, the Motorpact
motor controller provides a system-wide solution you can trust.
This instruction bulletin contains installation, operation, maintenance, and
troubleshooting procedures for Motorpact MV motor controllers. It also
contains ratings, a list of replacement parts, and information about optional
features.
Motorpact is the latest innovation in Square D MV motor control equipment.
The 450 A base unit is compact, measuring 14.75 in. (375 mm) wide and
37.25 in. (946 mm) deep. It is available only in a one-high design with a
drawout contactor. However, the drawout design features make it as reliable
as any other bolt-in contactor equipment. Its compact size allows two
one-high units to occupy the same or less floor space than typical two-high
equipment. The equipment is front and rear accessible.
Motorpact meets the following standards: UL 347, NEMA ICS 3, and
IEC 60470.
All Motorpact starters are available in either a lineup or stand-alone
configuration.

Application
Full Voltage Non-Reversing Controller The full voltage non-reversing (FVNR) controller provides full voltage to the
motor terminals during starting. Full voltage starting allows the motor to
generate the maximum starting torque available (up to 150%). FVNR
controllers are the most economical type for the control and protection of
medium voltage motors.

Full Voltage Reversing Controller The full voltage reversing (FVR) controller is a full voltage, bi-directional
motor starter with an operating range of 23007200 V. This product will
deliver the highest starting torque (about 150% of full load torque) to the
motor terminals in either direction (forward or reverse). This starter bases
interrupting ratings on fused applications.

Dual Voltage Transfer Starter The dual voltage transfer starter (FVS) is designed to operate as part of a
smart sequence starter application or multiple motors soft starting application.
A smart sequence starter system starts multiple motors, one at a time, with a
predetermined minimum start time between each motor start.
The FVS is part of a lineup that also includes a full voltage non-reversing
starter (FVNR) and a soft start module (RVSS). One FVS is required
per motor.

2-Speed, 1-Winding Controller The 2-speed, 1-winding controller (2S1W) is designed for the control of
2-speed AC motors with a single winding. Since the motor has a single
winding, the speed change is accomplished by reconfiguring the winding
outside of the motor using a third contactor.
The 2S1W starter has two sections. Only the second section is shown
below. The first section is a full voltage non-reversing starter (FVNR) that
has the load box for fast speed windings.

2-Speed, 2-Winding Controller The 2-speed, 2-winding controller (2S2W) is designed for the control of AC
motors with separate windings for high- and low-speed operation. Two
interlocked contactors are used with overload protection. The contactors are

Reduced Voltage Autotransformer The reduced voltage autotransformer (RVAT) controller provides reduced
voltage to the motor terminals during starting through the use of a tapped,
three-winding, three-phase, autotransformer. The standard taps on the
autotransformer provide selection of 50%, 65%, or 80% line voltage applied
to the motor during starting. However, because of the transformer action,
the line current during starting will be less than the motor current, being
25%, 42%, or 64% of full voltage values. Starting torque will be 25%, 42%,
or 64%, respectively, of full voltage values. Therefore current at motor
terminals will be 50%, 65%, or 80% of full voltage starting current. Reduced
voltage autotransformer starting allows maximum starting torque with
minimum line current. In contrast, reduced voltage reactor starting draws
twice as much line current for the same amount of motor torque.
Square D
reduced voltage controllers utilize autotransformers that are

NEMA/EEMAC medium duty rated.
The RVAT starter includes the following components:
A main controller, which includes the starter isolation means, main power
fuses, main contactor, and an optional load discharge assembly (LDA)
switch. The main controller is located to the left of the RVAT enclosure.
A separate RVAT enclosure, which includes a medium-voltage
autotransformer with multiple voltage taps.
Start and run contactors (see Figure 6). The two contactors are
mechanically interlocked so that only one can be closed at a time.

Application Notes
1. Standard autotransformers are medium duty as defined by NEMA
ICS 9-1993. Medium duty autotransformers are designed to perform the
duty cycle per Table 1. These ratings must not be exceeded.
2. The transition from reduced voltage to full voltage is based upon current
and not time. A current transition relay (CTR) governs the current level at
which transfer is allowed. Configure the CTR so as not to allow current
transitions above 120% motor full load current (FLA). This current
transition level is the maximum transition level and must not be exceeded.
The current transition relay settings are based on percentage of CT
secondary current. To convert the percentage of FLA to a relay setting,
perform the following calculation:
CTR setting percentage =CT pri./CTsec. x FLA x multiplier
The multiplier is based on the desired % of FLA for transition. Normally,
115% of FLA is the desired transition current level, which means the
multiplier would be 1.15.
3. An incomplete sequence relay (ISR) monitors the time needed to
transfer from reduced voltage to full voltage. The ISR should be set to
acceleration time (per motor manufacturers data curves) plus two
seconds. If the transfer is not performed within the allotted time, the ISR
will stop the motor acceleration by opening the main contactor. Do not
exceed a 30 second ISR setting for medium duty autotransformers.
Reduced Voltage Soft Start Controllers Motorpact Reduced Voltage Soft Start (RVSS) Motor Control units
provide a pre-engineered, integrated motor control package for reduced
voltage starting and soft stopping of three-phase medium voltage induction
(squirrel cage) motors. The Motorpact RVSS is a NEMA class E-2,
three-phase, microprocessor-based, digitally controlled reduced voltage soft
starter for medium voltage AC motor applications. The unit controls the
motor start-up by delivering an adjustable amount of initial voltage and
current to the motor, then slowly increases the voltage and current to 100
percent. The Motorpact RVSS has a linear voltage versus time ramp, unless
setup for current limit or ramp configuration. This adjustable acceleration
ramp allows a smooth transition from the point where the motor shaft begins
to turn, to full motor speed, regardless of the type of load. The Motorpact
RVSS also features a selectable dual adjustment mode that can be
programmed for a second load type. The Motorpact RVSS is offered in
voltages from 2.3 kV to 7.2 kV, and current ratings from 100 A to 400 A.
The RVSS starter includes a main controller that has the starter isolation
means, main power fuses, main contactor, and an optional LDA switch. The
main controller is located to the left of the RVSS enclosure.
CAUTION
HAZARD OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
The duty cycle ratings shown in Table 1 must not be exceeded.
The current at time of transition must not exceed 120% motor full
load current.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

In addition to a main controller, the following is included in a separate 29.5
in. (750 mm) wide RVSS enclosure:
Silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) stack assemblies
By-pass contactor
Microprocessor-based protection and control system
Digital display
The acceleration ramp time for a typical start-up is thirty (30) seconds or
less, and is adjustable (0-120 s) to allow the motor to smoothly accelerate
the load. The current limit is adjustable from 100% to 600% of programmed
motor full load amperage (FLA). This adjustment is separate from the
acceleration time, to allow greater control of peak power usage. At the end
of the start cycle, the unit will switch in a bypass contactor, placing the unit
across the line with overload protection still present.
For details on RVSS ratings, start-up procedures, programming
information, troubleshooting procedures, and additional wiring
diagrams, see Schneider Electric bulletin no. 46032-700-04.

Incoming Section Sections are available to bring in line connections via cable or bus duct.
When required, an incoming cable auxiliary section is provided for up to
3000 A. Units are offered for installation at the ends of a lineup with bottom
entry measuring 20.00 in. (508 mm). Should installation at the middle of a
lineup or top entry be required, the unit width will be 29.50 in. (750 mm).
Sections are also available for utility metering transformers.
Mechanically Latched Controllers Mechanically latched controllers can be used in place of load interrupter
switches or metal-clad circuit breakers in applications where the load
remains connected to the power source, even during severe undervoltage
or power loss conditions, or for long periods of time. The controller uses a
mechanical latching mechanism that holds the contactor closed. Therefore,
the load remains connected unless the release is activated either electrically
or manually.
Voltage Transformer An auxiliary section is provided to house voltage transformers (VTs) larger
than those available in the controller compartment or special metering
devices that are required. Sections are available to mount voltage
transformers with primary fuses and an IM.
Two types of units are available:
Cold sequence (with a IM ahead of the transformers). The VT unit is
offered in a 20.00-in. wide unit.
Hot sequence (transformers connected directly to the main bus). These
units are always 20.00 in. (508 mm) wide.
The cold sequence units use the Motorpact IM to disconnect the power
circuit from these transformers. The units also include the Motorpact
instrument compartment as standard.
The hot sequence units allow the transformers to be connected directly to
the main bus. Key interlocking should be coordinated with the factory to
ensure proper operation of these units.
Transformer Disconnects Transformer disconnects provide a means to control and protect
transformers. Mechanically latched controllers are typically used for this
purpose and are supplied with E-rated fuses. Additional protection is
available using voltage, current, or multi-function protective relays.
Feeder Disconnects Feeder disconnects usually involve mechanically latched controllers to switch
power in a medium voltage circuit. E-rated fuses are used to provide
overcurrent protection for the conductors and connected load. Additional
protection is available using voltage, current, or multi-function
protective relays.
Capacitor Bank Disconnects Motorpact controllers may be used for capacitor bank switching
applications. Mechanically latched controllers are typically used for this
purpose and are supplied with E-rated fuses, which are sized for the kVA
rating and system voltage. Additional protection is available using voltage,
current, or multi-function protective relays.
Prepared Spaces Prepared spaces are available for blank compartments to allow future
installation of a complete full voltage non-reversing controller. Both
mechanical and electrical packages are available.

Latched Contactor Ratings for the latched vacuum contactor are the same as in Table 3,
except as listed in the table below.
Load Discharge Assembly The LDA is a spring operated quick making device, capable of making 5kA
symmetrical current with 14kA peaks at 7.2kV up to 5 times. It has no
interrupting capability. It has been designed to require several complete
rotations of the handle to allow time for the system to dissipate the energy in
the cables, motor, or transformer before it will close. Grounding is
accomplished by a single ground bar located behind the face of the load
box. This bar is forced by springs to simultaneously engage all three phases
at the load terminal pad assembly. See Figure 71 on page 85. The device is
designed for 1000 no-load operations.
Incoming Section Incoming cable sections are rated up to 3000 A. The 3000 A units require a
10.00 in. high plenum on top of all compartments for cooling.

Section 6Installation
Preparing the Site Compare the site plans and specifications with the motor controller
drawings to be sure there are no discrepancies. Check the site to verify that
the equipment will fit properly.
Ensure that the floor is level within 1/16 inch per foot (2 mm per 305 mm), or
a maximum of 1/4 inch (6 mm) within the area of the controller lineup. If the
floor is not within the tolerances, use shims or other means to ensure
equipment is installed on level.
Unless otherwise specified, the equipment is front accessible for
non-seismic hazard designated locations.
Allow working space clearance per National Electrical Code (NEC) Article
110.34, Work Space and Guarding. Minimum clearances must meet all
local and national requirements. Door swing allowances are shown in
Figure 24.
Check customer drawings to see if front-only accessibility and shielded
cable are required. The cables may need to be prepared before the
equipment is placed in position.
Provide area ventilation, heating, and air conditioning to maintain the
ambient temperature around the equipment between 0 C (32 F) and
40 C (104 F).
Adequate lighting and convenience outlets should be available near the
equipment. Route sewer, water, and steam lines away from the equipment.
Provide floor drains to prevent water buildup.
Seismic hazard for site specific locations as defined by the current
edition of the International Building Code or NFPA 5000 or relevant
local building code or consulting engineer of record.

Seismic Certification of Motorpact
Medium Voltage (MV) Motor Controllers
Motorpact MV motor controllers that are seismically certified have been
qualified for the sitespecific seismic requirements of the listed model
building codes and/or standards. Optional construction features may be
required, depending on the location of the installation and the particular
code and/or standard of interest. Seismic certificates of compliance and
equipment labels are provided with all seismicallycertified equipment. To
maintain the validity of this certification, the installation instructions provided
in this bulletin must be followed.
Responsibility for Mitigation of Seismic Damage For the purposes of the model building codes, Motorpact MV motor
controllers are considered nonstructural building components. Equipment
capacity was determined from tri-axial seismic shake table test results as
defined in the International Code Counsel Evaluation Service (ICC ES)
Acceptance Criteria for Seismic Qualification Testing of Nonstructural
Components (AC156). Unless otherwise indicated, an equipment
importance factor of 1.5 (IP =1.5) was used, indicating that equipment
functionality was verified before and after shaker table seismic simulation
testing. This importance factor is indicative of critical facilities where
maximizing the probability of post event functionality is a priority. AC156 is
published by the ICC ES and has been recognized by the Building Seismic
Safety Council (BSSC) as an appropriate methodology in the 2003 National
Earthquake Hazard Reduction Program (NEHRP) Commentary (FEMA 450
Part 2). The National Institute of Building Sciences established the BSSC in
1979 to develop and promote regulatory provisions for earthquake risk
mitigation at the national level.
Incoming and outgoing cable and conduit must also be considered as
related but independent systems. They must be designed and restrained to
withstand the forces generated by the seismic event without increasing the
load transferred to the equipment. For applications where seismic hazard
exists, bottom entry and/or exit of cable and conduit is preferred. If the
spectral acceleration value (Ss as defined by the International Building Code
or NFPA 5000) is in excess of 2.67g (such as the New Madrid seismic
area), then the equipment must also be braced at the top using a lateral
restraint system. A lateral restraint system is required in situations where
horizontal motion at the top of the equipment is not desirable (such as
applications where top entry and/or exit of conduit are used). This system
must be capable of transferring the loads created to the load-bearing path of
the building structural system.
Maintaining Seismic Certification Schneider Electrics seismic qualification of nonstructural components is
just one link in the chain of responsibility required to maximize the
probability that the equipment will be intact and functional after a seismic
event. During a seismic event, the equipment must be able to transfer the
loads that are created through the mounting pad and anchorage to the
loadbearing path of the building structural system.
The structural civil engineer or design engineer of record is responsible for
detailing the equipment connection and anchorage requirements (including
the lateral restraint system, if appropriate) for the given installation. The
installer and manufacturers of the anchorage and lateral restraint system
are responsible for assuring that the mounting requirements are met.
Schneider Electric is not responsible for the specification and performance
of these systems.

It is important that the RVSS standalone section interlock key
be coordinated with the main controller key interlock (key
removable when disconnector is open). This guarantees that
the RVSS standalone section MV doors cannot be opened
unless the disconnected in the main controller is open. If the
main controller is a Square D
brand controller, then a key

locking scheme should be ordered so the RVSS standalone
section interlock uses the main controller key. If the main
controller is not a Square D controller, it is highly
recommended that the RVSS key be permanently attached
(welded or solid riveted) to the main controller key.

1. Review the assembly drawings to ensure that the equipment shipping
splits will be assembled in the correct order.
2. Locate and anchor the first shipping split.
For seismic hazard designated locations, each section must be
anchored per details supplied by engineer of record to the loadbearing
path of the building structural system. Use 1/2-in. or 12-mm grade 5 or
higher bolts and hardened flat and lock washers.
For non-seismic hazard locations, 3/8-in. or 10-mm grade 5 bolts are
permissible. For either application, torque bolts to the value specified by
the anchor manufacturer.

shipped in the enclosure.
1. Locate and level the RVAT enclosure.
For seismic hazard designated locations, each section must be
anchored per details supplied by engineer of record to the loadbearing
path of the building structural system. Use 1/2-in. or 12mm grade 5 or
higher bolts and hardened flat and lock washers.
For non-seismic hazard locations, 3/8-in. or 10mm grade 5 bolts are
For bolt hole locations, see Figure 27 on page 39.
2. Secure the autotransformer using four 3/8 in. bolts (Grade 5) with
expansion anchors.
Installing Autotransformers in 44.25 Inch (1125 mm) and 59 Inch
(1500 mm) Wide Enclosures
An autotransformer that requires installation in a 44.25 in. (1125 mm) or
59.00 in. (1500 mm) wide enclosure will be crated and shipped separately
from the lineup. The contractor is responsible for installing the
autotransformer using the following procedure.
Follow the steps below to install the RVAT enclosure.
1. Place the enclosure in its final position.
2. Gain access to the lower compartment using the procedure described in
Opening RVAT or RVSS MV Door on page 37.
3. Anchor the rear of the enclosure with 1/2-in. or 12mm grade 5 or higher
bolts and hardened flat and lock washers.
For non-seismic hazard locations, 3/8-in. or 10mm grade 5 bolts are
For bolt hole locations, see Figure 27 on page 39.
NOTE: Wait before installing the front anchors.
Because of limited access, the four holes that are required to
anchor the autotransformer must be drilled prior to setting the
enclosure. Installation of the expansion anchors may also be
required before the enclosure is set. The customer is responsible
for providing the necessary hardware to secure both the
autotransformer and the enclosure.
WARNING
The 44.25 in. (1125 mm) or 59.00 in. (1500 mm) sections are not

2. Check all control wiring with the wiring diagrams. Verify that all
connections are properly made and tightened, all fuses are installed,
current transformer circuits are complete, all fault detection devices
have been properly connected and set, and that loose connections are
tightened to the proper tightening torque (see Table 9 on page 48).
3. Verify that all protective relays have been configured with proper
settings per the outcome of the customers coordination study. The
contactor opening time must be coordinated with the supplied power
fuse's time-current characteristics. Power fuses must interrupt currents
which exceed contactor ratings. For contactor ratings, which include
interrupting capability and opening times, refer to Schneider Electric
bulletin no. 46032-700-02, Motorpact 200/400/450 A Vacuum
Contactors or bulletin no. 46032-700-03, Motorpact 720 A Vacuum
Contactors. In some cases, a contactor opening time delay will have to
be configured in the protective relay.
4. Ensure that all transition, control, and timing relays are configured per
customer requirements and these settings do not exceed the restrictions
identified in Application Notes on page 17.
5. Verify that all insulating surfaces, including the primary support
insulators and isolation barriers, are clean and dry.
6. Verify that all fuses are installed and orientated properly and do not
exceed the nameplate rating for their sections (see Table 10 on
page 58).
7. Before energizing any source of electric power, make a final check of the
equipment. Inspect every compartment for loose parts, tools, litter, and
miscellaneous construction items.
8. Review key interlock schemes carefully (if used). Insert only the proper
keys in the locks. Remove all extra keys and store them where only
authorized personnel can access them.
9. Verify that all barriers, covers, and doors are secured.
DANGER
ALWAYS assume that all circuits are live until they have been
completely de-energized, tested, grounded, and tagged.
Follow all lock-out/tag-out procedures. If disconnect switches cannot be
opened, disconnect the line leads.

Unlocking/Locking RVAT/RVSS Doors Door interlocks are provided to prevent inadvertent access to energized
components and to promote the proper operation of the isolation means and
the RVAT and RVSS enclosures. Close and lock all equipment doors before
energizing the equipment.
Follow steps 16 to unlock RVAT/RVSS doors. For steps 46, see Figure
53 on page 69.
1. Review the Safety Precautions on page 20.
2. If the equipment has been energized, open the contactors by pressing
the STOP/OFF button on the main controller to the left of the
RVAT/RVSS enclosure. If the unit is a RVSS standalone section, make
sure the main contactor in the separate main controller is open and
power is off in the RVSS section.
3. Turn and remove the key from the key interlock (located on the operator
panel of the controller to the left of the RVAT or RVSS enclosure).
4. Open the middle door(s) on the RVAT or RVSS enclosure.
5. Insert and turn the interlock key to release the door-latching mechanism.
6. Insert the operating handle. Rotate counterclockwise to release the
doors.
Follow the steps below to secure all the compartment doors before
energizing the equipment.
1. Close all doors except middle door(s) on the RVAT or RVSS enclosure.
If the enclosure contains rightside hinged doors, they must be closed
before the leftside doors. To ensure the upper door remains closed in
the RVSS enclosure, tighten the thumb screw located on the lower
flange.
2. Push the release button (located next to the handle insert) and rotate the
handle clockwise to lock doors. See Figure 53.
RVSS Standalone Section:
It is important that the RVSS standalone
section interlock key be coordinated with
the main controller key interlock (key
removable when disconnector is open).
This guarantees that the RVSS
standalone section MV doors cannot be
opened unless the disconnector in the
main controller is open.
If the main controller is a Square D
brand controller, then a key locking

scheme should be ordered so the RVSS
standalone section interlock uses the
main controller key. If the main
controller is not a Square D brand
controller, it is highly recommended the
RVSS key be permanently attached
(welded or solid riveted) to the main
controller key.
DANGER

requires defeating two separate interlock functions (see Figure 55).
MDT107 Thermal Diagnostic
System
The MDT107 Thermal Diagnostic system is mounted in the equipment at
the factory for shipping. Wiring connections must be completed and tested
on site before putting the equipment into service.
Description The MDT107 Thermal Diagnostic system is used to measure the
temperature of medium voltage circuits. Using Schneider Electric patented
technology, the MDT107 system provides:
continuous monitoring of the temperature rise of power circuits at upper
fuse holders and customer cable connections
triggering of a pre-alarm, then an alarm by activation of outputs on dry
contacts
visual indication of the zone and phase in which a temperature rise
exceeds a set threshold
DANGER
This equipment must be installed and serviced only by qualified
personnel.
Qualified persons performing diagnostics or troubleshooting that require
electrical conductors to be energized must comply with NFPA 70 E
Standard for Electrical Safety Requirements for Employee Workplace
and OSHA Standards 29 CFR Part 1910 Subpart S Electrical.

The MDT107 system includes:
An MDT107 electronic module mounted on a DIN rail in the LV
compartment of the Motorpact unit. The module transmits calibrated
impulses to one or more circuits via optical fibers. The calculation of a
circuits temperature is based on the impulses the circuit sends back to
the module.
Two CFO733 temperature sensors. Each of these factory-built
assemblies includes three sensor heads, three optical fibers, and the
connector for connecting to the readout module. The sensor heads are
made from a light-sensitive material whose fluorescence time depends
on temperature. The connector incorporates an opticalelectric
conversion circuit, eliminating the need for optical connections during
installation.
Accessories for factory installation of the sensors in the MV panel.
Functions The MDT107 module performs the following functions:
Monitoring of Temperature Buildup in Two Zones Each CFO733 sensor corresponds to a three-point zone to be monitored in
the panel, monitoring being based on temperature rise. The module
measures the temperature at three points per zone, as well as the ambient
temperature in order to calculate the temperature rise for each point.
Given the temperature differences between the inside of the LV
compartment and the outside of the enclosure, correction of the ambient
temperature measured by the module is configured by means of an
additional setting.
Monitoring is done by comparison with a maximum temperature rise
threshold, which can be adjusted separately for each zone and is common
to the three measurement points. This form of monitoring is completed by a
fixed maximum absolute sensor temperature threshold.
Therefore, the module includes three settings, access to which is sealed
after the ambient temperature settings are made on site.
Triggering of a Pre-alarm When the temperature rise at one of the three points reaches a first set point
equal to 85%
1
of the preset threshold for the zone, or when one of the three
points reaches the maximum absolute temperature of 239 F (115 C), a
pre-alarm is generated and results in:
activation of the pre-alarm indication relay common to the two zones
activation in flashing mode of one of the six front panel indicators which
identify the zone and related point
Triggering of an Alarm When the temperature rise at one of the three points reaches the preset
maximum threshold
2
for the zone, or when one of the three points reaches
the maximum absolute temperature of 248 F (120 C), an alarm is
generated and results in:
activation of the alarm power relay common to the two zones
activation in constant mode of one of the six front panel indicators which
identify the zone and related point
1
This is a fixed value; it cannot be modified.

These seven setting values are defined at the factory. They are identified as A to G in Figure 56
on page 73.

Self-monitoring of the Module The MDT107 module has internal self-tests and is equipped with an
indicator that indicates availability:
In both cases, the pre-alarm output contact is also activated when the
indicator is steadily on.
Self-monitoring of Sensors The module provides continuous monitoring of the connected sensor(s). An
Off position is included in the settings for each zone for the various
situations that can occur:
If no sensors are connected to the module
the indicator is on and flashes
the pre-alarm output contact is activated
the six sensor identification indicators are off
If one of the three points of each sensor is detected as being faulty (cut
or damaged fibers, malfunction of sensor-embedded electronics)
the indicator is on and flashes
the pre-alarm output contact is activated
the indicator linked to the faulty measurement point flashes
When only one zone is connected, the unused zone should be set to
Off. If this is not done, the three points of the related zone are detected
as being faulty.
Availability
Indicator
Each time the module is initialized. The indicator
turns on in constant mode when the module is
switched on and then turns off after the module
initialization phase is successfully completed, unless
the required sensors are missing (see
Self-monitoring of Sensors below).
In steady-state operation. If a fault is detected, the
indicator turns on in constant mode.

Isolation Means (IM)
Description The isolation means (IM) is designed to disconnect a controller from the line
or source and is required to allow for maintenance of the units. Each
Motorpact controller is equipped with an isolation means like the one
shown below.
The isolation means is a medium voltage, three-pole, manually operated
device. The IM is encased in an arc resistant and flame-retardant housing.
In the open position, the IM is grounded.
Designed for use on systems up to 7.2 kV, the isolation means are rated
200, 400, 450, and 720 A. The IMs are non-load break devices, which
means the devices cannot interrupt a power load. Design of the IM allows
for interrupting CPT and/or VT loads only. Mechanical and electrical
interlocking prohibit opening or closing the IM with the contactor closed.
IM View Port
To determine position of the switch, use the viewing port to determine
whether it is OPEN/Grounded or closed.

Live-Line Indicators (LLI) and
Capacitive Dividers
Live-Line Indicators Optional live line indicators (LLIs) may be installed to indicate the presence of
voltage. The LLI module is located on the front of the escutcheon of the main
controller or in the low voltage compartment door of the RVSS standalone
section. LLIs are wired to the capacitive dividers that are located at the load
connections. Optional capacitive dividers are installed near the main bus and
line side of the IM with the LLI mounted on the front of the low voltage
compartment door. For the RVSS standalone section, these optional
capacitive dividers are installed at the line or load side cable connectors.
Test ports on the LLIs, located below the neon lamps, are suitable for
testing voltage with a properly rated voltage-sensing device. They will be at
5070 V whenever the lamps are illuminated. LLIs are not a replacement for
voltage indication when accessing the MV compartment. Use a properly
rated voltage sensing device to ensure no voltage is present before
performing any maintenance procedures.
Replace LLIs Follow the steps outlined below to replace LLIs (450 A and below).
1. Turn off all power supplying the equipment. Use a properly rated voltage
sensing device to confirm that the power is off.
2. Remove the two mounting screws.
3. Pull the LLI outside of the cover.
4. Unplug the wiring harness.
5. Plug the wiring harness into the new LLI head. Secure wiring harness to
LLI head using a cable tie through hole in tag.
6. Push the LLI back into the cover opening.
7. Replace the two mounting screws.
Follow all of the safety precautions and procedures outlined in the
instruction bulletin supplied with your equipment to properly energize the
equipment.

Capacitive Divider The capacitive divider is a cylindrical insulator mounted to the load
connection base or, for line-side sensing, a standoff support insulator. Both
have the capacitor permanently bonded inside. This capacitor powers the
neon lamps in the LLIs.
Load Discharge Assembly In addition to the standard controller, an optional LDA, or grounding
switch, is used to ground the load cables. The LDA is housed within the
insulating base (load box) where the load cable connections are bolted. The
LDA is mechanically interlocked with the IM and is actuated using the same
operating handle.

LDA Interlock System Operation The interlock system requires the following conditions to be met before the
LDA can be actuated:
Contactor must be in the OPEN position.
IM must be in the OPEN/Grounded position.
IM operating port access must be closed (see Figure 66 on page 81).
Charging and Latching the LDA Back to the
Ungrounded Position
To charge and latch the LDA back to the ungrounded position:
1. Close and latch the MV door.
2. Turn the LDA handle in the opposite direction (clockwise) approximately
10 turns or until solid resistance is felt and the indicator is in the charged
position.
DANGER
The LDA has no interrupting capability. Several complete rotations of the
handle are required to allow time for the system to completely dissipate
electric power in the cables or transformer before the LDA will close.
Failure to follow this instruction will result in death or serious injury

8. Ensure that all transition, control, and timing relays are configured per
customer requirements and these settings do not exceed the restrictions
identified in Application Notes on page 17.
RVSS Standalone Section Before energizing the RVSS standalone section perform the following
checks:
1. Verify phasing between the controller, RVSS section, and motor are
correct.
2. Control power from the main controller CPT is supplied to the RVSS
section before medium voltage power is applied. This will allow the
RVSS electronics protection to be functioning before MV power is
applied.
If any of the operating tests provide unacceptable results, DO NOT
ENERGIZE THE CONTROLLER. Contact your local field sales
office or distributor.
CAUTION
Before adjusting the Forward (FCR) or Reverse (RCR) timing relays,
determine the maximum time required for the motor to come to a complete
stop. The FCR and RCR settings should not be set below this value.

Corrective Maintenance
Medium Voltage Fuses
Always follow the steps listed below before accessing the fuse compartment
to replace or perform maintenance on the fuses.
1. Turn off all power supplying this equipment before working on or inside.
Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm that
power is off. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment when
removing or installing fuses from the fuseholder assemblies.
2. To determine if a fuse has blown, check the optional blown fuse
indicator.
3. Move the IM to the grounded position. See Figure 64 on page 79. If
equipped with an LDA, it must also be grounded.
4. Follow the Lock OutTag Out procedures to all upstream or
downstream sources that could energize the primary fuses or control
power to prevent inadvertent closure or energization.
5. Open the medium voltage door.
DANGER
Use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm that the power is off.

6. Use a properly rated voltage sensing device to test and verify that the
power is off.
7. Inspect the fuse trigger, a trigger button on top of the fuse that pops up
when the fuse blows.
The power fuses have a top-mounted trigger (striker pin) that pops up
when the fuse element melts (see Figure 86). This can activate an
optional contact for remote indication.
8. To remove or install fuses, follow the procedures as described in
Removing Fuses on page 107 and Installing Fuses on page 108.
9. Close the medium voltage door.
10. Open the LDA first (if so equipped). Close the isolation means to
re-energize the circuit. See Figure 65 on page 80.
Removing Fuses
Figure 86: Striker Pin
To avoid nuisance tripping, always replace all fuses, even if
only one has blown. When one fuse blows, the others have
been exposed to over-currents and are also damaged.
Striker pin
CAUTION
The body of a fuse that has blown or carried load current can be
EXTREMELY HOT and will burn unprotected hands.
Never try to insert or remove both ends of the fuse at once. The
fuse body can be made of FRAGILE PORCELAIN (glass-like) and can
shatter if handled incorrectly (see Figure 87 on page 108 and Figure 89
on page 109).
Always remove the lower end first.
Always install the upper end of the fuse first; then install the lower end.
Always push on the ferrule being inserted (see Figure 89 on page 109).
Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury and
equipment damage.

To ease fuse removal, rotate the fuse and lubricate the fuse clips with
Mobil
28 red grease.
1. Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm that
power is off. Always wear personal protective equipment appropriate for
the hazard when handling the fuses.
2. Grasp the fuse by the lower end. While gently pulling the fuse, rotate the
fuse body slightly to help ease the fuse ferrule out of the lower
fuseholder. See Figure 87.
3. After the lower end of the fuse is free of its fuseholder, pull the fuse
straight down to remove it from the upper fuseholder.

Installation
Preparing the Site
Foundation Requirements The standard Motorpact Type 3R non-walk-in enclosure is designed for
installation on a concrete pad. Refer to the factory order drawings for any
additional mounting details which may be required on specific orders.
The concrete pad must be flat and level to within 1/8 in. (3.2 mm) per square
yard to prevent distortion of the equipment.
The recommended available space for the concrete pad in front of the
equipment is 60 in. (1525 mm). This will allow adequate work space for
installation or removal of contactors. The minimum recommended space on
the rear and sides of the equipment is 12 in. (305 mm) to allow space for the
anchor bolts.
Allow working space clearance per National Electrical Code
(NEC
) article
110-34, Work Space and Guarding. Minimum clearances for positioning
equipment must meet all local and national requirements.
Conduit Locations Figures 82-84 illustrate the typical floor plan for each of the Motorpact
Type 3R non-walk-in enclosures. Compare the site plan and specifications
with the motor controller assembly drawings to be sure there are no
discrepancies.
Conduits should be stubbed a maximum of 1 in. (25 mm) above floor steel,
or 7 in. (178 mm) above the concrete pad.
Equipment Ground An equipment ground is required on the first or last bay in a lineup. A cable
with a minimum length of 6 ft. (1.8 m) should be supplied by the customer in
the same floor cutout used for power cables. Refer to the motor controller
drawings for ground lug locations.
