PTCR Motor Start Packages PSC Single Phase Motor Start Assist
· ECONOMICAL SOLID STATE TORQUE ASSIST FOR HEAT PUMPS, ROOM AIR, COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL AIR CONDITIONING AND REFRIGERATION SYSTEMS
Positive Temperature Coefficient Resistors have been used for many years in millions of HVAC applications to provide starting torque assistance to Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) single phase compressor motors. Sizes are available to cover the full range of 120/240 volt PSC compressor motors. Three methods have historically been employed to generate starting torque for PSC motors. All are well-proven technologies and may be compared relative to one another based upon categories shown below. Table 1
MECHANICAL ELECTRICAL FINANCIAL

Safety Agency Recognition Vishay Cera-Mite motor start PTCRs are recognized by Underwriter Laboratories file E97640 in accordance with Standard for Thermistor Type Devices UL 1434; and Canadian Standards C22.2 No. 0-1991.

RELATIVE COMPARISON OF VARIOUS MOTOR STARTING METHODS
The importance of each category is dependent upon the motor application and industry sector. In general, if the PTCR starter produces sufficient starting torque, it is considered the simplest and most economical choice.

SIMPLIFIED PTCR STARTING DIAGRAM
Start Sequence. When starting the compressor, contactor (M) closes; the PTCR, which is at low resistance, provides starting current to the motor's auxiliary winding. After time delay (t), the current passing through the PTCR causes it to heat and "switch" to a very high resistance. At this point the motor is up to speed and the run capacitor (C R ) determines the current in the auxiliary winding. The PTCR remains hot and at high resistance as long as voltage remains on the circuit. When contactor (M) opens, shutting off voltage to the compressor, the PTCR cools to its initial low resistance and is again ready to provide torque assist on the next startup. Fig T-2

Restar t. It is important to provide time between motor starts to allow the PTCR to cool to near its initial temperature. This time is usually 3 to 5 minutes and is determined by the thermostat (THERM) or separate time-delay relay (TR). Attempts to restart in less time may be successful depending on compressor equalization, line voltage, temperature, and other conditions. If the motor were to stall in a locked-rotor state, overload device (PD or TS) would open the line and a further time delay would occur until the motor overload is reset. Motor start PTCRs are applied to compressors having means to equalize pressure during shutdown.

START AND ACCELERATION TORQUES SINGLE PHASE PSC HIGH EFFICIENCY COMPRESSORS
The use of a PTCR start assist insures sufficient acceleration torque to overcome not only breakaway friction, but also parasitic asynchronous torques associated with the 5th and 7th motor harmonics or lamination slot harmonics.

1. If (Curve B - Curve A) is zero or less, the motor may stall. 2. In calculating torque available from Curve B, allowance should be made for cusps in the torque curve due to harmonics. The time needed to accelerate from rest to 1/2 speed is critical, as the average torque available in this region is limited. Select a PTCR with sufficient switching time (t) to accelerate the compressor. 3. Scroll and rotary compressors may have less breakaway torque than shown. 4. A compressor with no equalization may require over 100% starting torqe and time as long as several seconds. PTCR starters not recommended.

For the greatest starting torque, PTCR should be chosen to make: VM x IM = Vaux x Iaux. In many cases the auxiliary VoltAmperes are limited to about 50% of the main winding Volt-Amperes to get 50% - 70% rated torque. Then at start, with PTCR in series: Z'aux = R PTCR + Zaux VM I R start through PTCR = Z'aux IC start through Run Cap = Ia ux start = IR start + IC start
If Zaux is low impedance, less than 10% of RPTCR then it can be ignored and IPTCR at start = V M RPTCR This closely approximates the condition for motors over 1/2 HP. www.vishay.com 4

A . Rated torque is the torque at full speed rated load. It is calculated as: HP x 5250 Torque (lb - ft) = RPM The range shown includes both normal slip and high efficiency low slip motors. Starting torque varies as: (Line Voltage) 2 . B. Figure T-4 shows effect of using PTCR to increase starting torque. For reciprocating compressors, it is advised to choose a resistance value that gives at least 50% rated torque at locked rotor. Scroll and rotary compressors may require less torque.

START CAPACITOR REPLACEMENT
Capacitor Starting Comparison Some PSC motors have historically been started with a capacitor and relay. To deliver the same starting current as a start capacitor, a PTCR resistance is available for approximately equal ohms. Table 3 can be used for conversion. Even though the start current may be the same, the start torques may differ depending on the motor design. The PTCR has a fixed time built in. The start capacitor will stay in the circuit until a relay switches it out. The longer time provided by the capacitor and relay may be needed on applications where equalization is not present or adequate reset time is not available.

PTCR SELECTION
· Choosing the best PTCR for an application is a simple matter. See Table 4 and Table 2. Vishay Cera-Mite PTCRs are available in three case sizes (A, B, and C). · Table 4 indicates the correct case size for the application. Table 2 shows how to choose the correct resistance value. Table 4 · Using a device too small or resistance too high will give inadequate starting performance. An oversize device will not harm the motor, but may not be optimum with regards to acceleration dynamics, or power dissipation. · The PTCR is generally self protecting when applied within the voltage and current ratings.

Note 1 * Preferred Values

Note 1 Par t number is stamped on the device for UL recognition. The customer part number will also include 1 or 3 character alpha-numeric suffix to designate mounting bracket, customer marking, wire jumper, or other accessory furnished. The suffix is not marked on the part. Certified outline drawing and complete part number will be furnished on request for specific applications. (Example: 305C19K01.) Mounting brackets and other accessories are shipped in separate boxes to simplify installation in end use equipment. Note 2 RDYN is nominal resistance equal to E/I when 230 volts, 60 Hz is applied (See Fig T-7). This resistance determines current and starting torque at the moment of application of voltage to the motor and can be measured with an oscilloscope. Fo r receiving inspection or routine trouble shooting, the D.C. resistance (Ro) as measured with an ohmmeter is approximately 50% greater. For example: 305C20 measured with an ohm meter would be 35 ohms ± 30% tolerance.

Note 3 Resistance values are duplicated in several case sizes (ie: 305C20, C12, and C1) to provide longer switch time (t) and higher current ratings (See Fig T-7). Larger parts may be needed for more difficult starting conditions (voltage or temperature) or may be used for accelerating fans against back pressure. Note 4 M a x i m u m current in the PTCR is determined by Max Line Voltage Min RDYN Motor auxiliary winding impedance is usually small compared to PTCR resistance, and does not materially affect PTCR current. Current in PTCR is a percentage of the full motor inrush (locked rotor) current; usually 30% to 50% (See Fig T-5). Note 5 In application, the maximum voltage is the voltage that appears across the

run capacitor at rated speed, high line, light load. This is not the applied line voltage (See Fig T-6). THESE DEVICES ARE INTENDED FOR APPLICATION ON 240 VOLT LINES OR SYSTEMS WITH MAXIM U M LINE VOLTAGE UP TO 264 VOLTS. The 305C20, 21 and 22 are also used on 120 volt systems where the motor is designed to use same run capacitor and PTCR as equivalent 230 volt compressor. Note 6 This is the power used to keep the PTCR switched off under full load running conditions at typical ambient temperature. Note 7 B T U and horsepower ranges are for reference only. PTCR may be applied outside those ranges as long as maximum voltage and maximum current are not exceeded. Scroll and rotary compressors may require less starting assistance allowing use of smaller devices.
