FAN AND PUMP VFD.
The Benshaw PowerPro™ Fan
and Pump Single AC Drive is a
dedicated fan and pump drive for
diverse variable torque applications
such as fans, pumps, blowers and
centrifugal compressors. a variable
torque application is when the
required torque is less at lower
motor speeds but greater at higher
speeds. A typical variable torque
load is proportional to the square
of the speed (e.g. fans). When the
speed is reduced by ½, the required
torque is reduced by ¼ — thus
reducing the energy consumed by
the load. The drive supports V/F
operations with 110% and 150% FEATURES
overloads for 60 seconds and is used • Wide power range — • Supports Modbus, Profibus,
primarily for speed control of three- 0.5 HP to 700 HP @ 460 V CAN Open

FLANGE MOUNTING <200 HP FOR BETTER THERMAL MANAGEMENT
With these flange kits, the drive can be mounted with the heat sink outside
of the enclosure. This reduces the heat dissipated within the enclosure.
With the reduced air temperature the enclosure can be smaller and the need
for cooling of the enclosure is reduced or even eliminated.

drives: The GX Series was constant torque RSI-002-GX-2 RSI-002-SS-2C RSI-003-SS-2C
rated, (150% OL for 60 secs.). The S Series RSI-003-GX-2 RSI-003-SS-2C RSI-005-SS-2C
is dual rated, both variable torque (120%) and RSI-005-GX-2 RSI-005-SS-2C RSI-007-SS-2C
constant torque (150%). The cross reference RSI-001-GX-4 RSI-001-SS-4C RSI-002-SS-4C
depends on the type of load. If load is variable
RSI-002-GX-4 RSI-002-SS-4C RSI-003-SS-4C
torque (fans, pumps), most can use the
variable torque model. If the load is constant
torque, use the constant torque model.
As always, motor amps should be compared
to the amp ratings of the drive.

Dynamic brake resistors and modules are used to address overvoltage conditions
with drives. Overvoltage trips occur when the DC bus in the drive increases to
the overvoltage trip level. This increase in voltage occurs when the mechanical
energy in the motor is converted into regenerative electrical energy, which is
transferred back into the drive (the motor acts like a generator).
REGENERATION OCCURS WHEN: Regeneration can occur on an

MEDIUM VOLTAGE DRIVE FEEDER
D R I V E F E E D E R N O N - BY PAS S E D
Shunt isolation is required in order to protect the VFD from line power in
the case of the fault. Load-break isolation is required to be able to safely
perform maintenance on drive solutions. Benshaw provides standard
solutions for isolation drive systems utilizing load-break disconnect switches
and contactors. The Benshaw drive solutions are designed to seamlessly
integrate into existing Benshaw medium voltage line-ups.
VFD FEEDER
The VFD Feeder provides input isolation to the VFD, but does not allow for
bypass. The contactor will open, isolating the VFD, should a fault appear.
Each VFD Feeder includes the following:

• 5 kV vacuum contactor
• 4.76 kV disconnect
- Load break/fault make
- Grounding bar
- Viewing window
• Class E rated fuses

MX2 / MX3 SERIES STARTER WITH DC INJECTION BRAKE
S O L I D STAT E STA RT E R W I T H D C I N J E C T I O N C O NT R O L
DC INJECTION BRAKING STARTER PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS:

Benshaw offers a microprocessor controlled solid state reduced voltage
starter with DC injection braking for three-phase induction motors. The starter
provides a closed loop current ramp for smooth stepless motor acceleration.
The RediStart starter with DC injection brake consists of the Benshaw 3-phase
SCR power stack for the soft start, with an integrated SCR power block power
fuse and control logic for the DC injection circuit.
The RediStart DC injection brake SCR system allows a free wheeling path
for the DC current that circulates in the motor windings. When the DC
current is applied to the AC motor windings, braking action is achieved as
the circulating motor rotor tries to align itself with the stationary DC field, RATINGS
thus giving the motor smooth electronic braking action. Horsepower: 20–1500 HP
Overload: 500% for 30 seconds

For 13.8 kV starters, line reactors are standard features.
The line reactors are available in two options. If the unit is required to be
UL approved, the reactors must be installed on the top of the unit (reactors
are shipped loose and must be installed by customer). This will add up to 24
inches to the height of the enclosure. For units not requiring UL approval, the
reactors may be installed inside the enclosure. The inside mounting requires
the enclosure width to increase to the next standard size to accommodate
the added reactor. Hardware necessary to mount and wire the reactors and
the increased size of the enclosure where required are included.

WHAT IS A SYNCHRONOUS MOTOR?

The synchronous motor functions as an induction motor during acceleration.
Once the motor approaches full synchronous speed, the exciter induces a
constant polarity to the rotor, causing the motor to lock into sync. Because
the rotor’s field is constant and separately excited, no slip is required to
produce torque, as with an induction motor. This allows the motor to run
at synchronous speed.
BENEFITS OF A SYNCHRONOUS MOTOR:

Synchronous motors are used for a numbers of reasons, including
applications that require precise motor speed, to obtain increased
efficiency or for power factor correction.
Since synchronous motors can be operated at leading power factor,

they are used to correct a facility’s lagging power factor created by
other induction motors operating at the facility. This correction reduces
the penalty a customer pays the utility company for poor power factor.
WHY CHOOSE THE BENSHAW SYNCHRONOUS EXCITATION PACKAGE?

The Benshaw Synchronous Excitation Package (SEP) uses Benshaw’s MX2
software and integrates easily with either Benshaw Controls (MX2 or MX3)
or any existing controller. The MX2 SEP can be used with a reduced voltage
solid state starter or a full voltage starter. The SEP is available for both brush-
type and brushless synchronous motors.
The MX2 SEP solid state synchronous control provides advanced synchronous
motor protection with Modbus communication. It allows for a reduced
footprint compared to existing field controls, making it beneficial for retrofit
opportunities.

WHAT IS A WOUND ROTOR MOTOR?

Wound rotor motors are typically used in applications requiring high starting torques, a
limited number of operating speeds or a stepped acceleration to achieve a soft start. Typical
existing applications use an electromechanical starter on the stator and introduce multiple
stages of resistance in the rotor via contactor arrangements to achieve a soft ramp.

Dual output starters enable the use of a single SCR power section to start
and stop two motors. Two versions of dual starters are available — the first
has one controller, such that both motors are started and stopped at the
same time, while the second has two separate MX3 controllers, allowing
each motor to be started and stopped separately.
This solution can provide savings from a cost and/or footprint perspective,

BALL MILL INCHING SOLUTION
WHAT IS A BALL MILL?

Ball mills are used in many industries to grind coarse material into a finer
powder. A ball mill typically consists of a horizontal cylinder, partly filled with
steel balls, that rotates on its axis, imparting a tumbling and cascading action
to the balls.
CHALLENGE:
When it comes time to service the mill, an access hatch must be positioned
to allow technicians to enter the mill and for the ball charge to be changed.
Positioning a hatch is accomplished by a process known as spotting or
inching. Without a dedicated inching system, it can be difficult to precisely
position the mill, since the technician has no way to accurately and effectively
apply torque to the motor directly from the power system.
Traditional positioning technology involves delivering a switched DC current

to the stator windings in a specific pattern to simulate the sinusoidal AC
wave form applied during normal operation while keeping the field excited.
In addition to the issue of precisely moving the bulky mill, the cogging or
abrupt starting and stopping of the motor can cause mechanical and electrical
damage to the equipment. This, along with full voltage starting, stresses
the overall electromechanical system and can cause excessive downtime,
interfering with production.
SOLUTION:
Benshaw has applied low voltage AC Variable Frequency Drives to replace
DC contactors and cam switch for positioning. The low voltage AC VFD has
the capability to provide full torque at zero speed to start and rotate the
mill during the positioning process. The use of a drive also provides speed
adjustability to a maximum speed of 2–12 Hz depending on motor voltage.
This allows the maintenance setup and process time to be significantly
reduced. The drive replaces the obsolete and unsupported cam switch,
and eliminates DC contactors and associated contact maintenance.
Due to Benshaw’s full portfolio of low and medium voltage VFDs, solid state
and full voltage starters, Benshaw is able to provide a full solution to replace
obsolete ball mill controls. This includes a solid state or full voltage starter,
all necessary isolation and the low voltage VFD for inching.

WHAT IS A REVERSING STARTER?

A reversing starter is used for applications with forward/backward or upwards/downwards
movement needed for operation. The reversing starter contains two contactors — labeled
or defined as “Forward” and “Reverse”. It includes a selector switch for Forward or
Reversing. The starter accelerates via the SCR power stacks and then transfers to the
bypass contactor for running, in the same manner as the non-reversing starter.
When requesting a quotation, you must specify reversing capability to have the additional
contactor included.

WHAT IS A TWO-SPEED OR PAM MOTOR?

A two-speed motor is a type of induction motor with one or two windings that can operate at
two different speeds. A PAM motor is a type of two-speed motor with one winding.
WHAT ADDITIONAL CONTROLS ARE NEEDED?

The starter requires the addition of a fast
speed and slow speed contactor plus
additional controls for each speed mode
(fast and slow).
The fast and slow speed contactors are
interlocked so that only one can operate
at any time. This can easily be added to
Benshaw’s solid state starter.
Depending upon size, this can be included
in the starter enclosure or mounted in a
separate enclosure.

MVCB SERIES PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS

Benshaw’s free-standing medium voltage switchgear is the newest
product in our portfolio, offering the same rugged and reliable design
and performance of all our medium voltage products. To ensure the
safety of personnel servicing the equipment, all Benshaw’s medium
voltage switchgear offerings include a rack-out circuit breaker design.
A remote breaker control panel and arc flash sensing options are also
available to further enhance personnel safety. In addition, Benshaw
offers a full metal-clad switchgear solution.
The switchgear is provided in a NEMA-rated enclosure configured for

use as a stand-alone unit, in an equipment line-up or an MCC. Benshaw
switchgear connects seamlessly to the rest of the Benshaw MCC for a
