Zener ‘SMART-TORQ ’ Torque Control
Feature
®
Smartstart 6000
Basic Soft Starter Operation
®
The Zener Smartstart is a reduced voltage controller
designed for starting standard 3 Phase induction motors.
The unit is solid state, using a microprocessor to control
inverse parallel (back to back) pairs of SCR’s.
An SCR/thyrisor is a semiconductor device that latches
when triggered. Once triggered it allows current to flow
in one direction only and turns off at zero current.
The firing angle of the SCR’s are controlled to achieve
the desired acceleration of the motor.
The Zener Smartstart® 6000 incorporates a closed loop
torque control system to provide better control over
starting & stopping 3 phase induction motors.
Conventional voltage ramp control systems typically
produce low torque at low speeds. When starting &
stopping variable torque loads (e.g Pumps) this can
results in a very rapid acceleration or deceleration with a
non linear change in motor speed.
The Smarstart® 6000 series overcomes these issues by
regulating the torque in the motor to match the load
type during the acceleration & deceleration. This
essentially allows a constant torque to be produced in
the motor. The continual monitoring of the motor
characteristics during the ramp also allows
instantaneous adjustment of the starter output to allow
for changes in load conditions.
The ‘SMART-TORQ®’ control system provides smooth
starting & stopping, allowing ramp profiling to produce a
linear acceleration and deceleration of the motor speed.
There are many benefits with variable torque loads such
a pumps and fans by achieving a linear ramp profile and
greater control over deceleration. With pump
applications this provides better control to minimise
water hammer problems.
SMART-TORQ Benefits include:
Soft Starters provide the following benefits:
1. Reduced stresses and wear on the mechanics
of the system
2. Reduced starting currents
3. Minimise voltage dips on the supply
4. Lowered Peak demand charges
5. Eliminate belt slippage on fans
6. Smooth acceleration of motor / load
1. A true linear acceleration of the load and motor
for all load types.
2. Reduced peak inrush starting currents.
3. Reduced stresses and wear on the mechanics of
the system
4. Ramp profiling to better match type of load such
as variable torque loads. Better control of
pumps and fans, without rapid initial ramp but
linear ramp.
5. Reduced heating in motor at low speeds.
6. No instability due to changing power factor.
Closed loop system to monitor and react to
changing power factor.
7. No instability due to slot ripple in 3 wire and 6
wire operation.
8. Better control of deceleration through closed
loop torque control system.
The Smartstart® also offers user access to ramp profiling
parameters to fine tune the Torque Control System to
achieve more application specific performance
requirements. See Page 34 for more information.

Heat Dissipation
The Smartstart® should be installed by qualified
electrical personnel only. The following should be
considered when installing the Smartstart.
The Smartstart® is cooled by temperature controlled
internal fans. Installing a bypass contactor will reduce
the heat dissipated and the ventilation required. Soft
Starters generally dissipate approximately 4.5watts per
Amp when operated without a bypass contactor.
Mount in a vibration free environment.
Mount vertically and away from heat radiating
sources.
Do not mount in direct sunlight or on hot surfaces.
Mount in a suitable enclosure for the environment
in which it is to operate, the total heat dissipation
must be considered.
Do not drill holes into the Smartstart® enclosure.
Do not allow metal shavings or any other
conductive material to enter the enclosure or
damage may result.
The heat dissipated can be calculated by;
Continuous Duty:
P = (FLC x 4.5)
Bypass Duty:
P = (FLC x SC x 4.5 x t x N) / 3600
Where;
> 20mm
P
= Power dissipated in Watts
FLC = Nameplate FLC of Motor
SC = Average starting current
expressed per unit of FLC
t
= Starting time
N = Number of starts per hour
> 75mm
> 75mm
> 75mm
When installing the Smartstart® in an enclosure or
switch board it is necessary to consider the heat
dissipated and then the ventilation required.
The following formula’s will assist in determining
whether ventilation is required and how much.
Ventilated Enclosure:
> 75mm
V = (3.1 x P) / T
Where; V = Airflow required in m3/hour
P = Power dissipated in Watts
T = Temperature differential in °C
(inside – outside)
Non Ventilated Enclosure:
A = P / ( T x k)
Where; A = Exposed surface area of cabinet
in m2
P = Power dissipated in Watts
T = Temperature differential in °C
(inside – outside)
k = Heat transmission constant

Power Wiring
Motor Protection:
The Zener SS6000 is installed between the mains
and cable to the motor. If a mains or isolation
contactor is used it is best controlled by the SS6000
‘Line relay’.
The Smartstart 6000 provides advanced motor
protection with user selectable overload classes,
over & under current protection, phase imbalance
and thermistor protection. It is important that the
power wiring is followed correctly to ensure proper
protection and starter performance.
Refer to page 18 and 28 for more details regarding
motor protection.
Semiconductor Fuses
Semiconductor fuses are recommended for all
electronic soft starters to provide protection of the
thyristors in the event of an output short circuit.
Semiconductor fuses are strongly recommended for
applications such as submersible pumps.
Semiconductor fuses are optional with all models.
•
For smaller models (15 – 80Amp) fuse kits
are available.
3Wire / 6wire: The standard connection of an
electronic soft starter is 3 wire. An alternative
connection is 6 wire or inside delta connection. This
is commonly used when replacing a star/delta type
motor starter.
Bypass / Continuous: The Smartstart® can
operate with or without a bypass contactor. Some
models include an integral bypass contactor. The
bypass contactor reduces the heat dissipation of
the soft starter as the semiconductors are bypassed
after the ramp time.
Select cables & install in compliance
with local regulations
Technical Manual: Smartstart® 6000
Refer to instruction sheet for more details
and dimensions.
•
For larger models semiconductor fuse kits
are available.

Using 6 wire Configuration
The Smartstart 6000 can be configured to operate in 6
wire mode. 6 wire mode may be the preferred method
due to:
The following illustrates the difference between 3 wire & 6
wire connection:
1. Possible reduction in the size of starter
required, saving on space and /or cost.
2. Wiring may already be present if a start/delta
type starter was previously used.
3. Reduced motor cable size.
The major advantage is that the current in the SCR
is 58% less than it would be for the same motor
connected in 3 wire. The diagram below illustrates
how the motor is connected in 6 wire, also known
as inside delta.
Current Monitoring & Torque Control:
For the torque control to operate correctly the C.T’s
need to monitor the ‘line’ current and not the ‘Phase’
currents. For this reason the C.T’s normally supplied
internally, need to be relocated external to the soft
starter.
It is critical that the C.T’s be installed in the correct
phase and in the correct direction. Page 12 provides
instructions as to where the C.T’s are to be located.

Relocating the Internal Current
Transformers for 6 wire operation.
If the C.T’s are not installed correctly the SS6000
will display a fault or a ‘C.T Phase error’.
The SS6000 comes standard with internal Current
Transformers (C.T’s) for monitoring the current
during acceleration, deceleration and when in
bypass.
It is important that the SS6000 be wired in a
manner to ensure the C.T’s are always monitoring
the motor current. For this reason 9 terminals are
provided. This is important to ensure continual
protection of the soft starter, the motor and the
load. The correct installation of the C.T’s is crucial
for optimum performance of the SS6000 torque
control system. In some situations such as 6 wire
operation, it may be necessary to relocate the
C.T’s external to the SS6000. For 6 wire operation
the C.T’s are to be installed on the incoming line
supply cables so that the line current is monitored
(not the phase currents).
The SS6000 can be purchased with C.T’s external
by ordering ‘ prepared for 6 wire’;

The current limit is expressed as a percentage of
the entered motor Amps (FLC). This current limit
setting operates during the ramp time only and
will over-ride the torque settings. Reducing the
current limit will limit the torque available to the
motor and load. If set too low it may prevent the

P01 Mtr Overload:
The Smartstart 6000 continuously monitors the
motor current (even in bypass) and calculates the
temperature rise of the motor. The tripping curves
are based on the protection classes as defined by
IEC60947-4-2. Refer to page 29 for more details
on overload class curves. Select the overload
protection class suitable for the motor & load
combination. This protection is type R1, thus will
not reset the thermal capacity when power is
removed or motor is stopped. This prevents the
motor from restarting if the motor is too hot.

P02 Mtr OverTemp:
Provides overload protection of the motor by
monitoring the actual motor temperature. A
thermistor or NC switch can be connected directly

Thermal Protection
Starter Thermal Protection:
Motor thermal Protection
Thermal protection of the soft starter is provided by a
temperature sensor located on the heatsink and by
calculating the temperature of the thyristor junction
with sophisticated modeling of the specific devices
used. Fans are powered by 24VDC supply and
thermally controlled when the heatsink temperature
exceeds 40°C and whist the motor is ramping.

ZENER SMART-TORQ
Torque Control System
There are several methods available to soft start a motor. The more
traditional methods are Direct-on-line, Star/Delta, Auto transformer and
Primary resistance starters. The more sophisticated methods also provide a
soft stop and include Soft Starters and Variable Speed drives (VSD’s). VSD’s
can provide a better soft start with significantly lower starting currents and
many other benefits including energy savings. However, a Soft Starter may
provide a more economical solution to motor starting over the life of the
motor.
Soft Starters provide the following benefits:
1.
Reduced stresses and wear on the mechanics of the system
2.
Reduced starting currents
3.
Minimise voltage dips on the supply
4.
Lowered Peak demand charges
5.
Eliminate belt slippage on fans
6.
Smooth acceleration of motor / load
The rate of acceleration is dependent on the additional torque
(Acceleration Torque) available in the motor.
Thus, we can achieve a constant or linear rate of Acceleration by providing
‘constant’ acceleration torque to the motor.
Since the torque required by the load may not be linear, the torque delivered
by the soft starter must match that of the load. To achieve this, the torque
developed in the motor must be the sum of the ‘acceleration torque’ and the
load torque at a spec ific speed.
Below illustrates the constant acceleration torque applied for different load
types;
1) Constant Torque type Load (eg. Conveyor)
Torque
The conventional voltage ramp Soft Starter is a reduced voltage starter and is
similar to the traditional methods mentioned above. The problem with
voltage ramp soft starters is a non linear acceleration of the motor. This is
very noticeable on a pump type load where there is much higher acceleration
torque available at the beginning of the start. The diagram below shows the
variation in acceleration torque available for both a Direct on line (full
voltage) and the voltage ramp type soft start.

‘SMART-TORQ®’ is a Torque Control System developed by Zener to overcome
this problem with greater control over the acceleration torque in the motor.
The torque is controlled in a manner which suits the type of load to achieve a
linear acceleration in motor shaft speed. This control system is also active
during the deceleration phase, providing a soft stop where the motor
decelerates at a constant rate. This can be used to overcome water hammer
problems associated with the c losing or slamming of check valves.

How is this achieved ?
The SMARTSTART® 6000 continually monitors start variables such as motor
current, voltage and power factor to determine the input electrical power.
From the motor parameters, the IR & magnetic losses are used to calculate
the Air Gap Power (ie. the power transmitted to the motor shaft). With an
instantaneous value of shaft power the instantaneous torque can be
determined. With this information we can vary the thyristor conduction to
achieve the desired torque. The torque is varied to follow a spec ific curve,
based on the initial torque setting, the final torque setting and the profile
selected. The end result is equal acceleration torque over the ramp period to
provide a linear acceleration in motor shaft speed. The profile is user
adjustable allowing for non-linear torques if required to other or unusual
types of loads.
Summary.
The ‘SMART-TORQ®’ Torque Control System provides smoother starting &
stopping, allowing ramp profiling to produce a linear acceleration and
deceleration of the motor speed. There are many benefits with variable
torque loads such a pumps. A linear acceleration and deceleration provides
better control to eliminate water hammer problems. The SMARTSTART® 6000
combines this superior torque control system with a robust design to suit all
types of loads and applications. All models inc lude substantial heatsink mass
with temperature controlled force ventilation to accommodate the more
severe (heavy) duty applications.

Frequently Answers and Questions

How is the Zener SMARTSTART 6V400 different from a traditional motor starter?
The SMARTSTART 6V400 is a soft starter, meaning it gradually increases voltage to the motor during startup, reducing stress on the motor and electrical system. Traditional motor starters abruptly apply full voltage, which can cause damage.
What is the purpose of torque control in the SMARTSTART 6V400?
Torque control ensures smooth and controlled acceleration and deceleration of the motor, especially important for variable torque loads like pumps and fans. It allows for precise control of motor speed and minimizes potential problems like water hammer in pump applications.
What type of motor protection does the SMARTSTART 6V400 provide?
It offers comprehensive protection including overload, over/under current, phase imbalance, and thermistor protection. This ensures safe operation and prevents damage to the motor and starter.
