comparator. The SINPAC Switch interrupts the start capacitor current (between terminals 2 and 3) after the motor has accelerated to a speed in which the cut out voltage has been reached, generally 75% to 80% of synchronous motor speed. A triac or inverse parallel SCRs provides the function referred to as cut out. Once the start circuit is cut out the main winding accelerates the motor rotor up to its running speed. When an overload drops the motor speed to approximately 50% of synchronous speed the switch automatically reconnects the motor start circuit. The SINPAC Switch constantly monitors the start or auxiliary winding for cut in voltage and will reconnect the start circuit once cut in voltage is reached.

c) High ambients: Ambients greater than 55C. Note: Higher rated current switches can be used in place of lower rated switches within the same series. 5. The motor must generate a voltage across the start or auxiliary winding that is 20% greater than the SINPAC Switch cut out/cut in voltage rating.

Cut Out Voltage Typical Cut In Voltage Typical

Start Circuit Voltage

Capacitor Start and Capacitor Start/ Capacitor Run Motors

To determine the most appropriate SINPAC Switch cut out voltage rating for the particular motor application, the voltage across the motor start or auxiliary winding must be measured. This may be accomplished in the following manner: 1. Prepare the motor wiring for connection of the SINPAC Switch as shown in the Wiring Diagrams for SINPAC Switches section of this publication. Secure the motor to a firm mounting surface. 2. Connect the lead wire that is to be connected to SINPAC Switch terminal #2 securely to the lead wire that is to be connected to SINPAC Switch terminal #3. 3. Connect an AC voltmeter across the lead wires that are to be connected to SINPAC Switch terminals #1 and #4. 4. Apply power to the motor. Observe and record the voltage across the motor start or auxiliary winding, as indicated by the AC voltmeter, with the motor operating near synchronous speed. CAUTION: Measurement of the start or auxiliary winding voltage must be done quickly to prevent damage to the start capacitor, motor winding or SINPAC Switch! 5. Multiply the measured voltage by 0.8 (80%). Select a SINPAC Switch having a cut out voltage rating equal to or less than this number.

Selection Procedure

Installation Instructions for SINPAC Switches

UL Recognition
Most SINPAC Switches are recognized under the component program of Underwriters Laboratories E-71115. In addition, all switches have an internal surge protection which meets UL244A Specification and CSR Certification LR-6254, and are tested to the requirement of IEEE C62.41-1991, Category A3.

Construction
SINPAC Switches are potted and completely sealed making them impervious to dust, dirt and moisture. It can be immersed in electric grade oil as used in submersible pumps. The unique speed sensing circuit provides a universal design which allows a few switches to work in most standard single-phase motor applications regardless of nature.

Operation
The Stearns SINPAC Switch samples the voltage across the motor start winding (terminals 1 and 4) then it is fed into a

CAUTION: SINPAC Switches are line voltage compensated. Changes in the line voltage within 10% of nominal 115 or 230 Vac will not affect system operation. Operation of the motor at line voltages less than -10% of nominal can result in reduced motor running speeds and failure of the SINPAC Switch to disconnect the start circuit. 1. Be sure switch series matches motor type. 2. Be sure switch voltage rating matches the motor start circuit voltage. 3. Selection should be based on actual measurement of start circuit current. 4. SINPAC Switch current rating must meet or exceed the motor start circuit current requirement. Always select a SINPAC Switch with the next higher current rating for: a) High cycling applications: Stop and start rates greater than 4 times/minute. b) Long acceleration times: Greater than 5 seconds.

Split Phase Motors
To determine the most appropriate SINPAC Switch cut in voltage rating for the particular motor application, the voltage across the motor start winding must be measured. This may be accomplished in the following manner: 1. Prepare the motor wiring for connection of the SINPAC Switch as shown in the Wiring Diagrams for SINPAC Switches section of this publication. Secure the motor to a firm mounting surface. 2. Insulate the lead wire that is to be connected to SINPAC Switch terminal #2. 3. Connect an AC voltmeter across the lead wires that are to be connected to SINPAC Switch terminals #1 and #3. 4. Apply power to the motor. Carefully rotate the motor shaft to initiate rotation. Observe and record the voltage across the motor start winding, as indicated by the AC voltmeter, with the motor operating near synchronous speed. 5. Multiply the measured voltage by 0.8 (80%). Select a SINPAC Switch having cut in voltage rating closest to this number. Split Phase Motors

Important
Please read these instructions carefully before installing, operating, or servicing your SINPAC Switch. Failure to comply with these instructions could cause injury to personnel and/or damage to property if the switch is installed or operated incorrectly. For definition of limited warranty/ liability, contact Rexnord Corporation, Stearns Division, 5150 S. International Dr.,Cudahy, Wisconsin 53110, (414) 272-1100. Caution: Application of 230 Vac to the line input terminals (1 and 2) of a 115 Vac rated SINPAC Switch will result in immediate switch failure. The switch may rupture and emit smoke.

Initial Inspection and Handling

Upon receipt, check for package damage. Note any signs of damage on appropriate shipper forms. Upon opening package, if concealed damage is found, immediately file a claim with carrier.

Check the label to verify that data conforms to specifications of ordered switch and the connection diagram agrees with labeling. Caution 1. Installation and servicing must be made in compliance with all local safety codes including Occupational safety and Health Act (OSHA). All wiring and electrical connections must comply with the National Electric Code (NEC) and local electric codes in effect. 2. To prevent an electrical hazard, disconnect power source before working on the motor. If power disconnect point is out of sight, lock disconnect in the off position and tag to prevent accidental application of power. 3. Make certain power source conforms to the requirements specified on the SINPAC Switch nameplate. 4. Installation and servicing should be performed only by qualified personnel familiar with the operation of the SINPAC Switch. 5. Determine what type of start switch the motor presently has: a) Externally mounted electronic switch go to Step 6. b) Internally mounted electronic switch go to Step 6. c) Externally or internally mounted mechanical switch it is not necessary to remove the existing centrifugal switch actuating mechanism, but if feasible, it should be removed as it is no longer needed, and can cause future mechanical problems in the motor should the mechanism fail. Follow the manufacturers recommendation when removing the shaft end bearing, if necessary, to take off the centrifugal actuator. 6. Remove the existing electronic switch. Determine the existing wiring diagram. Mark the existing wires and determine which wires can be reused for installation of the SINPAC Switch. Select a location in the motor conduit box or endbell for mounting the SINPAC Switch. If a metal enclosure version of SINPAC Switch is being used, the switch with SINPAC Switch gasket may be mounted on an external mounting surface such as the exterior of the conduit box. Plastic enclosure versions of the SINPAC Switch should be mounted internally, within the conduit box, or externally, under a capacitor housing. IMPORTANT: SINPAC Switch in a metal enclosure must have the metal enclosure grounded.

The temperature at the mounting location should not exceed 65C (149F). (2CVR temperature should not exceed 55C.) TEFC/TENV motors require external mounting of SINPAC Switch. 7. Refer to motor manufacturers wiring diagram to aid in identifying terminal locations for the start winding switch, start winding, start and run capacitors (if needed) and AC line. 8 Connect the SINPAC circuit per the connection diagram (on Pages 9-11) using insulated terminals. If the connections are made incorrectly, the result will be no starting torque and possible damage to the circuit and/or motor. CAUTION: Be sure that appropriate insulation is used between the terminals of the switch and the body of the motor or conduit box. If mounted external to motor, always use gasket supplied with kit. 9. DO NOT USE a Variac to gradually increase the voltage to the motor starting circuit when SINPAC Switch is installed. 10. Reassemble the motor with SINPAC Switch installed, so as to not damage lead wires. 11. If the motor fails to start or the start winding does not cut out properly, see Troubleshooting Guide (Page 13-14). 12. Hipot test procedures: Motors 250 Volts or Less and 1/2 Horsepower or Less The motor, equipped with SINPAC Switch, shall be tested for dielectric withstand (hipot), by the application of a 1200 volt sinusoidal potential, in the range of 40-70 Hz, for 1 second. During the test, each lead of the primary motor wiring, accessible at the connection board or conduit box, are to be connected together and to one terminal of the test equipment, and the second test equipment terminal is to be connected to the accessible dead metal. Motors 250 Volts or Less and More Than 1/2 Horsepower The motor, equipped with SINPAC Switch, shall be tested for dielectric withstand (hipot), by the application of an 1800 volt sinusoidal potential, in the range of 40-70 Hz, for 1 second. During the test, each lead of the primary motor wiring, accessible at the connection board or conduit box, are to be connected together and to one terminal of the test equipment, and the second test equipment terminal is to be connected to the accessible dead metal. 13. CAUTION: The terminals of the SINPAC Switch should not be used as the junction for this field wiring.
