Sequential Motor Start Command Guide
Sequential Motor Start Command Guide
Objectives
Understand the functioning of a direct match with automatic sequential commands.
Identify the elements that make up the key and its logic of operation.
Direct starting with electrical commands allows the operator to turn the motor on and off remotely, providing greater safety. In addition, in
In the event of a power outage, the command will be turned off and a new restart will only occur if the operator wishes.
In industrial processes, the subsequent start-up of several motors can occur in a specific order. The operation of an industrial plant or
One stage of the production requires the starting of the engines in order to take the process from the 'initial or stopped' status to its permanent production regime.
The operation can be manual or automatic; which can perfectly be programmed and monitored by starting commands.
sequential, which control the entry of each machine at its designated time.

Operation
When energizing the panel, the H1 lamp should signal that it is ready to start the engines. All contacts are in the initial position represented.
In the diagram. By pressing S1, K1 (A1;A2) is energized which controls its power and control contacts with the respective functions:
S1 energize K1(A1;A2)
K1 (13;14) - date seal contact that keeps K1 energized after the S1 button is released
S1 - energize KT1(A1;A2)
K1 (43;44) – date liga a lâmpada H2, sinalizando Motor 01 ligado
K1 (1,3,5,2,4,6) – date force contacts that activate the motor

After the scheduled time has elapsed on the KT2 timer relay:
At this moment, the engines are in full operation; if it were a process, it would be underway.
Normal Stop
To turn off the motors, the coils K1 (A1;A2), K2 (A1;A2) and K3 (A1;A2) must be de-energized by pressing S0, which cuts the phase applied to A1.
turning them off.
By turning off K1, K2, and K3, all their contacts return to the initial position, the motors are de-energized and stop. The lights H2, H3, and H4 are turned off.
The H1 is connected again.

Stop Due to Overload
If the motors experience any overload during their operation and if the thermal relays are correctly adjusted, they detect the current.

Short circuits in the motor's power circuit or overloads at startup can burn one of the fuses in this circuit. This can cause the
the motor works for a while with only two phases, which increases the current and trips the relay (if it is properly specified and adjusted). Before
To reassemble the relay to normalize the situation, the professional must check all the elements of the power circuit, thus avoiding a new startup in two.

Defects in contactor and relay coils can cause the burning or tripping of the circuit control protection. In these cases, after the
powering the panel, the H1 lamp does not light up, indicating that the system has a problem and is not ready to start.
