This function is required for load machines with inverse torque behavior. Typical
applications are mills, crushers or drives with plain bearings. Here it may be
necessary to create a breakaway pulse at the beginning of the machine's start
process. The breakaway pulse is set via the breakaway voltage and the
breakaway time. Using the breakaway pulse, the high limiting friction of the load
can be overcome and the machine can be made to move.
The breakaway pulse can be used in combination with the voltage ramp, torque
control or current limiting starting modes and is superimposed on these during
the whole breakaway time.
The breakaway voltage is set together with the height of the breakaway torque
to be created. Its maximum value can be 100 % of the start torque generated on
direct starting. The pulse should be high enough for the motor to start
immediately when the soft starter receives the start command.
The breakaway time specifies how long the breakaway voltage should be
applied. Upon completion of the breakaway time, the soft starter finishes its run-
up process with the selected starting mode, e.g. voltage ramp or torque control.
The breakaway time should be selected at least long enough so that, after the
configured time has elapsed, the motor does not remain stationary again but
rather accelerates further in the selected starting mode.
If 0 ms is set as breakaway time (default), the breakaway pulse function is
deactivated.
