Different configurations of switchgear and control-gear are commonly proposed. Some examples are shown on Figure N66.

Fig. N66: The various functions and their combinations forming a motor starter



The different applicable standards are listed on Figure N67.

Standard Title
IEC 60947-1 Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear – General rules
IEC 60947-4-1 Contactors and motor-starters –Electromechanical contactors and motor-starters
IEC 60947-4-2 Contactors and motor-starters – AC semiconductor motor controllers and starters
IEC 60947-6-2 Multiple function equipment – Control and protective switching devices (or equipment) (CPS)
IEC 61800 Adjustable speed electrical power drive systems

Fig. N67: Applicable standards



Different utilization categories have been defined for contactors in IEC 60947-4-1. The selection relative to asynchronous motor control is given in Figure N68.

Category Typical applications
AC-1 Non-inductive or slightly inductive loads, resistance furnaces
AC-2 Slip-ring motors: starting, switching off
AC-3 Squirrel-cage motors: starting, switching off motors during running
AC-4 Squirrel-cage motors: starting, plugging(1), inching(2)

(1) By plugging is understood stopping or reversing the motor rapidly by reversing motor primary connections while the motor is running.
(2) By inching (jogging) is understood energizing a motor once or repeatedly for short periods to obtain small movements of the driven mechanism
