A customer requires a new supply for a 30kw hydraulic test pump motor,(star delta)All existing dis boards use obsolete Dorman Smith mcb,s & main busbars cannot be isolated.There,s a spare 63A BS88 switch fuse available & I wondered if it was worth trying this before trying to find another solution.Thanks for any advice,

Swap the fuses for gM pattern, say 63/100 (if the EFLI will permit)

With a 30kW motor you are getting towards the upper limit for a star/delta start on 63A BS88 fuses. As OMS said, your best bet would be 63A motor rated fuses. I would suggest 63M80.

The Power pack should start unloaded and should be able to start with a minimal start time and current, the 63A switchfuse if AC3 should be fine if the power pack and the fluid circuts are designed properly.

Hi,
If the above fails you could try swapping out the star/delta starter for a soft-start unit that would decrease the start up current of the motor. Kind regards Donald Lane |
