Chapter 1 - Introduction
1.1 General
The TD Series is a digitally programmable solid state reduced voltage
soft starter. Its six SCR design features a voltage/current ramp with an
anti-oscillation circuit for smooth load acceleration. The SCRs are sized
to withstand starting currents of 500% for 60 seconds (compared to
350% for 30 seconds from other manufacturers). The TD Series features
smooth, stepless ramp control which reduces motor inrush current and
excessive wear on the mechanical drive train components. In addition to
having easy to understand diagnostic LEDs, the TD Series includes a
programmable keypad for setting operating parameters for the ideal
starting cycle. Starting torque, ramp time, current limit, dual ramp, and
decel control are standard features on the TD Series. By simply adjusting
the unit’s starting torque, ramp time and current limit functions, the starting
electrical characteristics of the motor can be matched to the mechanical
characteristics of the drive train for controlled acceleration of the load.
The TD Series includes solid state electronic overload protection in
addition to numerous other protective features. It is factory wired for 120
VAC control voltage and two or three-wire start/stop control (Units can
also be ordered with 240 VAC control voltage if required). Programmable
auxiliary contacts and provisions for interlocking are also included.
Bypass Contactor Type 12, 3R, 4 & 4X enclosed units 120A and above.

Chapter 4 - Connections
4.1 Power Connections
Connect appropriate power lines to the unit input terminals marked L1, L2, L3.
Avoid routing power wires near the control board. Connect the motor leads to the
unit terminals marked T1, T2, T3. Refer to NEC standards for wire length and
sizing. Never interchange input and output connections to the unit. This could
cause excessive voltage in the control logic circuit and may damage the unit.
WARNING Never connect power factor correction capacitors on the load side of the
unit. The SCRs will be seriously damaged if capacitors are located on
the load side.
The unit cannot be tested without a motor or other test load connected to the
load side of the unit. It may be necessary to use a load bank to test the unit
without a motor. Note that line voltage will appear across the output terminals if
there is no motor or load connected to the unit. In areas where lightning is a
significant problem, stationary air gap lightning arrestors should be considered
and utilized on the input power source.

Chapter 5 - Programming
5.1 Introduction
It is best to operate the motor at its full load starting condition to achieve the
proper time, torque and ramp settings. Initial factory settings are set to
accommodate general motor applications and provide basic motor protection.
Advanced features must be enabled via programming. The only parameter that
MUST be set by the user is motor FLA (F001).

The testing procedure for SCRs is comprised of two separate tests. The first one
tests the anode to cathode integrity of the SCR by performing the following ohm
checks:
The second tests the gate to cathode integrity of the SCR. Place the leads of an
ohm meter into the receptacle that was unplugged from the main circuit board.
Ohm the pair of wires on one end of the plug. Then ohm the pair of wires on the
other end of the plug. The chart below indicates good versus bad readings.
Note: If any of the above readings are out of specifications, replace the faulty SCR.
Note: The best way to test an SCR is with an SCR Tester and look for leakage current
less than the manufacturer specified values.

WARNING Failure to remove both line and control power before starting this
procedure may cause personal injury or death.
• TOSHIBA uses two types of clamps with gauges for reading the
amount of force on the device. The first type of force gauge uses a
spin washer. When the proper force is applied, the washer will be
free to spin. The second type of gauge uses a step indicator on the
end of the lever. Before proceeding, note the type of clamp used
and, if the clamp has a step indicator, document the position of the
indicator before removing the clamp to facilitate proper mounting of
the new SCR device.
• Document the position of the indicator on the SCR clamp. Then remove
the top clamp holding the SCR stack together. Remove the top
heatsink. Use extreme caution when handling the heat sink so it does
not become dented or damaged.
• Remove the faulty SCR device, noting the direction in which the
SCR is oriented. The new SCR puck must be inserted in the same
direction.
• Make sure the SCR mounting surface, tools, and hands are clean
and free from dirt, nicks, and scratches. Do not sand or scrape SCR
mounting surface. If necessary, super fine Scotch Brite pads can be
used to clean the heatsink before installing the new SCR.
• Locate the centering pin in the bottom and top of the heatsink and
center it in the SCR hole (making sure that the SCR is pointed in the
same direction as the SCR that was removed in step 6). Locate the
centering pin in the top heatsink and center it in the SCR hole.
If center pin is not placed correctly it will damage the SCR and
the heat sink.
Hand tighten the clamps evenly so that the same number of threads
appear at both ends of the U-clamp. Tighten the clamp 1/4 turn at a
time alternating sides of the U-clamp until the correct force is reached.
Check the gauge or spin washer every time the clamp nuts are tightened
1/4 turn to ensure that the SCR is not over torqued. The gauge reading
should be similar to the initial reading taken in step 2. If the clamp
TD - Series
- 39 -
TD Series Digital Solid State Soft Starter 48 - 1250A
uses the spin washer gauge, verify that the washer spins freely after
clamping. Once proper force is reached make sure that the SCR pucks
are securely held between the heatsinks and aligned evenly.
• After verifying that all wiring is correctly connected, test the SCR
and then test the unit.
• Remove three phase power and control power from the unit and
lock out.
• Remove control wires from terminals and tag wires with terminal
numbers.
• Install the control wires onto correct terminals per tag sequence.

1. Voltage Ramping is the most reliable starting method, since at some point
the starter will reach an output voltage high enough to allow the motor to draw full
current and develop full torque. This method is useful for applications where the
load conditions change frequently and significantly enough to require different
levels of starting torque.
Examples where this is effective are:
• material handling conveyers
• positive displacement pumps
• drum mixers, etc.
Voltage is increased from a starting point (Initial Torque) to full voltage over an
adjustable period of time (Ramp Time).
To achieve Voltage Ramping, set the Ramp Profile (F010) to 0001 or 0003 (Voltage
Ramp), and the Maximum Current Limit setting (F014) to maximum (600%).
Since this is essentially Locked Rotor Current on most motors, there will be little
or no Current Limit effect on the Ramp profile.
2. Voltage Ramping with Current Limit works similarly to the above, except
adds an adjustable maximum current output. Voltage is increased gradually until
the Maximum Current Limit setting (F014) is reached, then held at this level until
the motor accelerates to full speed. This may be necessary in applications where
the electrical power is limited.
Examples would be:
• portable or emergency generator supplies
• utility power near the end of a transmission line
• utility starting power demand restrictions.
Using Current Limit will override the Ramp Time setting if necessary, so use this
feature when acceleration time is not critical.
To achieve Voltage Ramping with Current Limit, set the Ramp Profile (F010) to
0001 or 0003 (Voltage Ramp), and the Maximum Current Limit setting (F014) to
a desired lower setting, as determined by your applications requirements.
3. Current Ramping (Closed Loop Torque Ramping) is good for smooth linear
acceleration of output torque. Output voltage is constantly updated to provide
this linear current ramp, and therefore the available torque is maximized at any
given speed. The best use of this feature is for applications where rapid changes
in torque may result in load damage or equipment changes.
Examples would be:
• long overland conveyors where belt stretching may occur
• fans and mixers where blade warping is a problem
• material handling systems where stacked products may fall over or break.

This feature can be used with or without the Maximum Current Limit setting.
To achieve Current Ramping with the TD, set the Ramp Profile (F010) to 0002 or
0004 (Current Ramp), and the Maximum Current Limit setting (F014) to the
desired level.
4. Current Limit Only (Current Step) starting means using the Current Limit
feature exclusively without the benefit of soft starting by ramping the voltage or
current first. This will maximize the effective application of motor torque within the
limits of the motor. In this mode, Initial Voltage / Current and Ramp Time are set
to 0, so the output current jumps to the current limit setting immediately.
Examples of when to use this mode are:
• applications with a severely limited power supply
• when starting a difficult load such as a centrifuge or deep well pump
• when the motor capacity is barely adequate without stalling or overloading.
• It is a good choice when other starting modes fail.
Since ramp times are set to 0, this mode functions in either Voltage Ramp or
Current Ramp setting.
Ramp Parameter Description
Initial Torque (Initial Voltage or Initial Current). This function sets the initial
start point of either the Voltage Ramp or Current Ramp as programmed in F010.
Every load requires at least some amount of torque to start from a standstill. It is
not efficient to begin ramping the motor from zero every time, since between zero
and the (WK2) break-away torque level, no work is being performed. The initial
torque level should be set to provide just enough torque to make the motor shaft
begin to rotate, enabling the softest possible start and preventing torque shock
damage to the mechanical components. Setting this function too high will not
damage the starter, but may reduce or eliminate the soft start advantages. See
Chapter 5 for initial setup procedures.
Accel Ramp Time. This Function sets the maximum allowable time for ramping
the Initial voltage or current (torque) setting to either of the following:
1) Current limit setting when the motor is still accelerating, or
2) Full output voltage if the Current Limit is set to maximum.
Increasing the Ramp Time softens the start process by lowering the slope of
increase in voltage or current. This should be set to provide the softest possible
start without stalling unless you have determined that your application has other
considerations. Applications where this setting should be shorter include
Centrifugal Pumps, because pump problems may occur as a result of insufficient
torque during acceleration through the pump curve.
Note: Ramp Time is affected by the following conditions:
1. Current Limit will extend the Ramp Time if the motor does not reach full
speed while in current limit mode.
2. The Anti-Oscillation Circuit will shorten the Ramp Time if the motor reaches
full speed before end of ramp.
Current Limit. This Function sets the maximum motor current that the starter
allows during Ramping. It is active in both the Voltage Ramp and Current Ramp
modes. As the motor begins to ramp, this feature will set a ceiling at which the
current draw will be held. Current Limit will remain in effect until one of the following
two events occur:
1) The motor reaches full speed as detected by the At-Speed detection circuit.
