Checking with Test Equipment
A complete check of the Smart Motor Managerβs components can be performed with the test
unit and a 3-phase current source.
Test Unit
With the test unit, all protective functions set on the Smart Motor Manager can be checked,
including the pickup levels and tripping delays.
Test with 3-Phase Current Source
Using a 3-phase current source, the main circuit, any primary current transformer, and the
current detection module, Cat. No. 825-MCM, can be tested.
Because the functions of the Smart Motor Manager have already been checked with the test
unit, it is sufficient to supply a current of 1 x I
e
(after approximately 60 min. the thermal
utilization reaches 83%). As an alternative, you can measure the 3-phase currents exactly and
compare the readings with the values indicated by the LCD on the Smart Motor Manager.
