230 V drives/motors can operate with extended lead lengths (<500 ft.) without a load reactor. If the installation is >500 ft. or involves
multiple motors from one drive, use an appropiately sized (current) 480 V reactor or a long lead fillter.

Dynamic Brake Resistors and Brake Modules

Dynamic brake resistors and modules are used to address over
voltage conditions with drives. Over voltage trips occur when the DC
bus in the drive increases to the over voltage trip level. This increase in
voltage occurs when the mechanical energy in the motor is converted
into regenerative electrical energy, which is transferred back into the
drive (the motor acts like a generator).
Regeneration occurs when:
The deceleration time is too quick.
The load has high inertia and keeps rotating after the drive output
power has decreased below that of the load.
(Ex: fly wheels, large fans)
The load is an over hauling load, cyclical or periodic.
(Ex: pump jack, punch press)
When the motor suddenly becomes unloaded.
(Ex: lumber mill saw applications)
Regeneration can occur on an occasional basis or periodically
(cyclical) depending on the type of load. A dynamic brake module
and resistor are required to be added to the drive to dissipate this
excess power. The module and resistor must be sized correctly
depending on the application.
Contact Benshaw for assistance with sizing brake resistors
and brake modules.

MVRXE SERIES
emergency atl bypass, severe duty, load break fusible disconnect
Highlights:
The Benshaw Medium Voltage Starter is a microprocessor controlled
solid state reduced voltage starter for three phase induction motors.
The starter provides a closed-loop current ramp for smooth stepless
motor acceleration. Supplied in a free standing enclosure.
Enclosures are available in NEMA 12 or NEMA 3R configurations. The
medium voltage enclosure consists of two distinct compartments.
The medium voltage or power pole section is located in the main
body of the enclosure, whereas the low voltage section containing the
control logic is located behind the door as an isolated compartment.
Each starter is supplied with a load break isolation switch, Class R
motor fuses, inline vacuum contactor, solid state power poles, and a
vacuum bypass contactor, which is used to bypass the SCR power
poles once the motor is up to full speed.
The logic control incorporates the MX3 computer that has all the
circuitry required to drive the power semiconductors, which are
located in the power section.
MVRXE starters provide solid state reduced voltage starting for
normal operation and full voltage emergency back-up starting, with
complete electronic motor protection at the flip of a switch.
Key Advantages:
This unique redundant design is ideal for critical applications where

downtime is extremely disruptive and cannot be tolerated.

Wound Rotor Starters

Highlights:
Wound rotor motors are typically used in applications requiring high

starting torques, a limited number of operating speeds, or a stepped
acceleration to achieve a soft start. Typical existing applications utilize
an electromechanical starter on the stator and introduce multiple stages of resistance in the rotor via contactor arrangements to achieve a
soft ramp.
With the RediStart MX3, wound rotor control is greatly simplified.
The RediStart consists of two major sections: 1) A solid-state stator
control, and 2) secondary resistors into the rotor circuit from
a separate 3-phase resistor bank. This achieves the high torque required by the applicationwith low inrushwhile providing a smooth
stepless start. This greatly reduces the maintenance cost of the typical electromechanical control.
Single Step Rotor Control: The solid-state starter is wired to the motor stator circuit, and the resistor and shorting contactor are wired to
the motor rotor circuit. The solid state starter accelerates the motor to
slip speed (determined by the resistance value) and then activates the
contactor to short the rotor. This allows the motor to accelerate to full
speed.

Multiple Step Rotor Circuit: WR RVSS series starters can be supplied with multiple stages of rotor resistor and contactor combinations. This arrangement may be necessary for multiple step starting
of extremely high inertia loads, or for continuous operation at multiple
speeds. Multiple steps of rotor resistance can be coordinated
to achieve this.

Variable Speed Control: Variable speed control of wound rotor

motors can be accomplished with the RediStart series control. By
maintaining full output voltage of the control going to the stator of the
wound rotor motor, and varying the resistance in the rotor, variable
speed is accomplished.
Reduced in size and number

of resistors needed
Modbus capable
Configurable output relays
Multistep & variable speed
rotor control available
Reduced maintenance
Stepless control
Reduces inrush while
maintaining torque
Resistors must be rated for continuous duty operations. Variable

loads (pumps and fans) only.

Synchronous Starters
sep series
Highlights:
The sync motor functions as an induction motor during start up. Once
the motor approaches full synchronous speed, the Redistart DC exciter induces a constant polarity to the rotor causing the motor to lock
into sync. Because the rotors field is constant and separately excited
there is no slip required to produce torque, as with an induction motor. This allows the motor to run at synchronous speed.
The Benshaw synchronous package consists of a solid state starter
portion connected to the stator and an SEP (synchronous excitation
package) that is connected to the rotor section in conjunction with a
discharge resistor. This SEP is supplied for brush type and brushless
exciters.
Synchronous Benefits:
The RediStart series solid state starter provides reduced voltage stepless acceleration and automatic synchronization of three phase AC
synchronous motors. Synchronous motors are utilized for a number
of reasons. They are used in applications that require precise motor
speed. They are used to obtain greater efficiencies, and they are used
for facility power factor correction.
Since synchronous motors can be operated at leading power factor,
they are used to correct a facilitys lagging power factor created by all
the other induction motors being operated.
This correction reduces the penalty a customer pays the utility company for creating poor power factor.

Line Reactors
For 2.4 kV solid state starters, line reactors are not required.
For 5 kV/7.2 kV solid state starters, line reactors are required when the supply source transformer is
greater than 20 MVA (5% Impedence) or the motor lead wiring length is 1,000 feet or greater. For systems with custom motor control lineups and power factor correction capacitors, consult the factory.
For 13.8 kV starters, consult factory for the requirement of line reactors.
The line reactors are available in two options. If the unit is required to be UL approved the reactors
must be installed on the top of the unit (reactors are shipped loose and must be installed by customer). This will add to the height of the enclosure. For units not requiring UL approval the reactors may be
installed inside the enclosure. The inside mounting requires the enclosure width to increase to accommodate the added reactor. The price includes the hardware necessary to mount and wire the reactors
and the increased size of the enclosure where required.
A de-tuning reactor may be required to protect the power system from the adverse interaction of capacitors and non-linear loads. To ensure the power factor correction device is properly applied consult
a qualified engineer or provide your single line electrical diagrams to Benshaw for evaluation.

The distribution date of documentation is established after receipt of complete technical and commercial requirements along with
the purchase order. When final approval drawings are returned and accepted by Benshaw, manufacturing resources are allocated,
material procurement is initiated, and the ship date is scheduled. Documentation is sent by standard service to the address provided.
Special project drawings requirements are evaluated on a case by case basis. The detailed requirements must be provided in
project specifications.
**

Witness testing includes a testing plan and procedure that must be reviewed and approved in advance by the customer. Benshaw
has the utmost regard for the safety of its employees and its customers, so we believe it is prudent to restrict direct customer access
to the equipment when main power is applied.

Wound Rotor Starters

Highlights:
Wound rotor motors are typically used in applications requiring high

starting torques, a limited number of operating speeds, or a stepped
acceleration to achieve a soft start. Typical existing applications utilize
an electromechanical starter on the stator and introduce multiple stages of resistance in the rotor via contactor arrangements to achieve a
soft ramp.
With the RediStart MX3, wound rotor control is greatly simplified.
The RediStart consists of two major sections: 1) A solid-state stator
control, and 2) secondary resistors into the rotor circuit from
a separate 3-phase resistor bank. This achieves the high torque required by the applicationwith low inrushwhile providing a smooth
stepless start. This greatly reduces the maintenance cost of the typical electromechanical control.
Single Step Rotor Control: The solid-state starter is wired to the motor stator circuit, and the resistor and shorting contactor are wired to
the motor rotor circuit. The solid state starter accelerates the motor to
slip speed (determined by the resistance value) and then activates the
contactor to short the rotor. This allows the motor to accelerate to full
speed.
Multiple Step Rotor Circuit: WR RVSS series starters can be supplied with multiple stages of rotor resistor and contactor combinations. This arrangement may be necessary for multiple step starting
of extremely high inertia loads, or for continuous operation at multiple
speeds. Multiple steps of rotor resistance can be coordinated
to achieve this.
Variable Speed Control: Variable speed control of wound rotor
motors can be accomplished with the RediStart series control. By
maintaining full output voltage of the control going to the stator of the
wound rotor motor, and varying the resistance in the rotor, variable
speed is accomplished.

the motor approaches full synchronous speed, the Redistart DC exciter induces a constant polarity to the rotor causing the motor to lock
into sync. Because the rotors field is constant and separately excited
there is no slip required to produce torque, as with an induction motor. This allows the motor to run at synchronous speed.
The Benshaw synchronous package consists of a solid state starter
portion connected to the stator and an SEP (synchronous excitation
package) that is connected to the rotor section in conjunction with a
discharge resistor. This SEP is supplied for brush type and brushless
exciters.
Synchronous Benefits:
The RediStart series solid state starter provides reduced voltage stepless acceleration and automatic synchronization of three phase AC
synchronous motors. Synchronous motors are utilized for a number
of reasons. They are used in applications that require precise motor
speed. They are used to obtain greater efficiencies, and they are used
for facility power factor correction.
Since synchronous motors can be operated at leading power factor,
they are used to correct a facilitys lagging power factor created by all
the other induction motors being operated.
This correction reduces the penalty a customer pays the utility company for creating poor power factor.

Solid State Starters with Two Speed Control

mx2 / mx3 Series
Highlights:
These RediStart solid state starters provide reduced voltage stepless
control of two speed three phase AC induction motors.
The two speed starter can be used with two speed, two winding motors. It contains a ten SCR power section or it can be used with two
speed, single winding motors.
The logic control incorporates MX2 or MX3 technology with all the circuitry required to drive the power semiconductors located in the
power section.
Benshaw RediStart two speed starters are electronically interlocked
so that a start cannot be initiated at one speed if the starter is already
running in another.
