Accel Ramp Time. This Function sets the maximum allowable time for 
ramping from the Initial 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. 
 
ƒ  NOTE:  
Ramp Time is affected by the following conditions: 
1. Current Limit will automatically override the Ramp Time if set to 
Voltage Ramp (F010=1) and if the motor does not reach full 
speed while in current limit mode. 
2.  An “Anti-Oscillation” circuit built-in to the TE Series 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. 
2.  The Overload Protection trips on Motor Thermal Overload (see 
Ch.3). 
Once the motor has reached full speed, the Current Limit feature 
becomes inactive. 
ƒ  In the Voltage Ramp Profile, the Voltage output is increased until 
the Current Limit is reached. The Ramp Time is the maximum time 
it will take for the voltage to increase until the Current Limit setting 
takes over. Under some load conditions, Current Limit may be 
reached before the Ramp Time has expired.  
ƒ  In the Current Ramp Profile, output voltage varies to provide a 
linear increase in current up to the Current Limit setting, and Ramp 
Time is the time that it will take to get there. A closed loop feedback 
of motor current allows continuous updating of the output to 
maintain this ramp profile.  
Because most AC induction motors will not start below 200% current, 
the current limit set point is adjustable down to only 200%. 
    CAUTION
  
While in the Start mode there is no maximum Current Limit time. 
Excessive start time may lead to motor stalling, causing an 
Overload Trip. If this happens, try raising the Current Limit setting 
to accommodate your load conditions. If the Current Limit setting 
cannot be increased, try using Current Limit without ramping 
features (“Current Limit Only” as described previously).
