Over-temperature
The RSGT constantly measures the heatsink and thyristors
(SCRs) temperature. If the maximum internal temperature is
exceeded (for a minimum of 0.5 sec) an over-temperature alarm
is triggered. This condition can be triggered by too many starts
per hour, an over-load condition during starting and/or stopping or
a high surrounding temperature.
Depends on the cooling period.
(If MANUAL reset mode is applied, alarm can be reset by
pressing the Test/ Reset button).
The RSGT will only recover if the internal temperature is within
safe limits.
5
The alarm will self-recover (in Auto-recovery mode) - the recovery
period will depend on the cooling time required by RSGT. The
higher the surrounding temperature, the longer the cooling period.

Check that the specified number of starts/hr is not
exceeded.

Check that the surrounding temperature around the soft
starter is within limits.
8
Overload
The overload alarm can be triggered in case of the following
conditions:
Measured current > 1.05 x FLC during transition from ramp-up to
bypass.
Load current > FLC. Trip time will vary according to Trip Class 10.
Depends on the cooling period.
(If manual reset mode is applied, alarm can be reset by pressing
the Test/ Reset button).
The RSGT will only recover if the internal temperature is within
safe limits.
4
The alarm will recover automatically after 5 minutes. If manual
reset mode is enabled, press Test/Reset button.
Note: allow enough time for the motor to cool before attempting
the next start.

Make sure that the FLC setting is according to the
current on the motor name plate.

Check for any blockages in the load.

If overload alarm occurs during ramp-up try to set a
shorter ramp-up time or increase the FLC setting.
