Starting Large Motors on board ships Typical starting methods: Direct On Line (DOL) Star-Delta Autotransformer (ATS) Electronic Soft Starters Electronic Frequency Drives (VFD) What is the optimum starting method for marine application ?

Direct On Line Starting (DOL) Direct On Line Starting results in High Inrush Current & Mechanical Shock Motor Current Inrush current 300-800% In Motor Torque Initial Torque 150-180% Tn The high inrush current can result in voltage drops The high mechanical shock can result in damage to the motor, load and transmission system (gear, belt, etc.). It can also require frequent maintenance.

Star-Delta Starting Two steps starting: Y connected (58% Un), transfer to Delta (100% Un) t U Y = 58% Un D Y Un U Y Transfer point Transfer to Delta by timer - open loop control, which may result in very high inrush current if transfer is done before motor reached close to full speed Step angle of 30°

Autotransformer Starting (ATS) The inrush current of the transformer in an Auto-transformer starter may be too quick for the EVR to respond, resulting in a voltage drop 0 Sec. Un 70% 100% 32 Sec. 21% Voltage Drop Auto-transformer starting

When To Use Soft Starters Summary: When starting current must be reduced to avoid voltage drops, due to the low ratio between motor / Generator power. When starting torque must be reduced (mechanical problems) When starting complicated mechanical loads When starting sensitive loads When starting high inertia loads (long starting time) For frequent starting Preventing over pressure and hammer effect in pump applications
