Chapter 1 — Overview
General Introduction
The Cutler-Hammer® Intelligent Technologies IT. S801-D Inside-the-Delta Soft Starter from
Eaton’s electrical business is an electronic, self-contained, panel- or enclosure-mounted
motor soft-starting device. It is intended to provide three-phase delta-connected induction
motors with a smooth start, both mechanically and electrically. The S801-D Soft Starter
utilizes six thyristors in three anti-parallel, one pair in series with each phase winding of the
Delta-connected motor. Varying the thyristor conduction period controls the voltage applied
to the motor. This in turn controls the torque developed by the motor. After the motor
reaches speed, contacts are closed to bypass the thyristors.
The S801-D is designed to fulfill the industrial service requirements for applications such as
Chillers and Compressors where wye delta starters are historically applied.
The S801-D meets all relevant specifications set forth by NEMA ICS 1, ICS 2 and ICS 5, UL 508
and IEC 60947-4-2.
This user manual covers everything you need to know in order to install, set up, operate,
troubleshoot and maintain the S801-D.
However, no publication can take into account every possible situation. If you require further
assistance with any aspect of this product, or a particular application, please contact us.
For contact information, please see Chapter 9.

Chapter 2 — Receipt/Unpacking
General
Upon receipt of the unit, verify that the catalog number and unit options stated on the
shipping container match those stated on the order/purchase form.
Inspect the equipment upon delivery. Report any crate or carton damage to the carrier prior
to accepting the delivery. Have this information noted on the freight bill. Eaton is not
responsible for damage incurred in shipping.
Unpacking
Remove all packing material from the unit. Be sure to remove all packing material from lug
locations. Also, make sure no packing material blocks the airflow near the fans. For V frame
units, verify mounting hardware has been included with shipment.
Check the unit for any signs of shipping damage. If damage is found after unpacking, report it
to the freight company. Retain the packaging materials for carrier to review.
Verify that the unit’s catalog number and options match those stated on the order/purchase
form.
Storage
It is recommended that the unit be stored in its original shipping box/crate until it is to be
installed.
The unit should be stored in a location where:
● The ambient temperature is -58°F – 158°F (-50°C – 70°C)
● The relative humidity is 0% – 95%, non-condensing
● The environment is dry, clean and non-corrosive
● The unit will not be subjected to high shock or vibration conditions

Chapter 3 — Installation
Mounting
Models S801N, S801R, S801T and S801U
The S801-D is easy to mount. It does not require any special tools.
To aid you with panel layout, refer to the dimension drawings in Figures 3-2 through 3-6 of
this manual. Drill and tap holes per mounting hole location as shown.
To mount the unit, use all the hardware specified in Table 3-1 on Page 3-7. Tighten to the
torque specified.
The T and U frame S801-D is supplied with a lifting eye mounted on the center phase of the
line end of the device. This will aid in mounting the unit.
Model S801V
August 2006
Drill and tap the eight mounting holes. Thread the two lower middle screws (with special flat
washer and lockwasher) into the panel before lifting the soft starter. These two screws will
assist in mounting. Special mounting hardware is included with the soft starter. Hardware
supplied must be used.
Hook lifting equipment to the soft starter lifting eye. If you are using a crane, minimize the
chain length between the boom and the soft starter. Make sure that the back of the soft
starter is oriented to the panel-mounting surface. Make sure that the lifting equipment hook
is fully engaged with the soft starter lifting eye before lifting.
Slowly lift the soft starter to about 2 in. (5 cm) above the mounting location. Then move it
back against the mounting panel. Carefully lower the soft starter onto the two mounting
screws. Make sure the screws align with the slots on the load end of the soft starter, and that
the two washers are between the soft starter base and the screw head.
Install and tighten the remaining six mounting screws, washers and lockwashers. Then
tighten the two lower middle screws. Tighten all eight screws to 50 Lb-in (5.6 N•m).
Disengage and remove the lifting equipment.

Power Wiring
Using the wiring diagrams in Figures 3-10 through 3-12 and Table 3-4 below as guides,
connect the line, Motor, and Power Supply wiring in accordance with appropriate local and
national codes.
Note: To provide optimum motor protection the Line and Motor power wiring should be
tightly bundled and run perpendicular to the orientation of the S801-D.
Safety Notices
The S801-D is to be wired into the delta connections in series with the motor phase windings
as shown in Figure 3-7. The input leads must be connected to the motor, as it would be done
for normal across-the-line starting. It must not be wired into the three-phase input line
terminals. Contact Eaton if a special motor wiring requirement exists before wiring your starter.
This starter is intended only for inside-the-delta winding applications where the reduced
motor torque being developed is adequate for the application.
August 2006
The S801-D is to be connected with an ABC phase rotation on the incoming power wiring. If
the motor turns in the incorrect direction upon energization, exchange two phases of the
S801-D soft starter. Do not change the inside-the-delta wiring, otherwise damage to your
motor will occur.
The S801-D is not to be used with a reversing contactor or starter.
See “Motor/Application Considerations” section in Appendix C of this manual for
information on typical motor winding configurations.
Line and Load power wiring data is shown in Table 3-4.

Lug Installation
Note: For additional motor and system protection, a Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) may be
installed on the line side of the unit. Refer to the instructions provided with the
MOV kit.
1. For T, U and V Frame Soft Starters, remove line and load terminal covers by removing
the screws that hold each cover (and the MOV, if installed) onto the unit.
Note: For N and R Frame Soft Starters, it is not necessary to remove the covers in order
to wire the device. Proceed to step 3.
2. After screws are removed, slide covers off of unit. Set the covers and screws aside.
3. Position lugs and install lug mounting screws according to instructions provided with
the kit. Tighten lug mounting screws provided with the kit to 120 Lb-in (13.6 N•m).
4. Wire the appropriate line and load conductors to the IT. Soft Starter (as required by NEC
and local codes based on the device rating).
5. Torque bolts as directed by Table 3-4 on Page 3-10 of this manual.
6. Slide the line and load covers back into place on the soft starter.
7. Reinstall the cover screws through the cover and the MOV, if installed.
8. Insert two outer cover screws through cover.
9. Align cover and torque all cover screws to 5 Lb-in (0.6 N•m). Do not overtighten screws.

Note: A minimum of wire of 14 AWG (2.5 mm2) should be used between the power supply
and the 24V DC + and - terminals.
Each diagram illustrates a typical wiring scheme for the options described. The terminal
block represents the soft starter. The additional Cutler-Hammer items shown on the diagrams
are not included, but can be purchased from Eaton.
August 2006
Note: A minimum wire size of 14 AWG should be used between the power supply and the
24V DC + and - terminals.
1. Connect DC common (negative) to terminal -, using a minimum wire of 14 AWG (2.5 mm2).
2. Connect +24V DC positive to terminal +, using a minimum wire of 14 AWG (2.5 mm2).
3. Terminal P (permissive circuit) — Must be energized at +24V DC to enable operation of
all S801 soft starters. For all units, if power is removed from the permissive circuit at any
time, the unit will initiate a stop sequence, including a soft-stop if enabled.
4. Terminal 1 (Start mode) — If terminal P is at +24V DC, momentary application of +24V
DC to terminal 1 will initiate a start sequence for all S801 soft starters.
5. Terminal 2 (Jog mode) - If +24V DC power is applied to this terminal while terminal P is
at +24V DC, the soft starter will operate in the jog mode as long as +24V DC is on
terminal 2 and no faults occur. In jog mode, the soft starter will operate only on the
thyristors and the bypass contactors will not close.
6. Terminal 3 (Overload disable) — Momentary application of +24V DC to terminal 3 prior
to a start raises the overload fault trip point to 125% of the maximum rating of the frame
size for the next start only.
August 2006
7. If 24V DC power is applied to terminal 4, the soft start fault will be reset. A fault is
cleared only if fault condition has been corrected.
8. Terminals 13 and 14: 120V AC or 24V DC provide bypass contactor status. This contact
closes upon bypass and will remain closed until a stop is initiated. The motor and load
may continue to rotate after a stop is initiated, if soft stop is being used or if the load
inertia is high. See “Using an Auxiliary Relay” section on Page 3-18 for additional
contact interface information.
9. Terminals 95, 96, and 98 provide fault and ready status indication. See Page 3-13 for a
description of their operation.
Note: When 24V DC is first applied to terminals + and -, all of the LEDs on the Control
Interface Module (CIM) will be briefly illuminated. This is a normal start-up test that
verifies communication to the CIM. Pressing the FAULT RESET button (located below
the CIM) will also momentarily light all of the LEDs. This verifies the CIM board is
functional, and tests all LEDs for functionality.

120V AC Control — When a relay is used in conjunction with an electronic control, it is highly
recommended that a noise suppressor be used across the relay coil. In the case of an AC coil,
the noise suppressor is made up of a series connected resistor and capacitor as shown in
Figure 3-14. Usually the delay in the relay opening is very small, so if the system is subject to
shock, a delay should be added in the external control before the contact change of state is
recognized. The resistor is rated 100 ohms at 0.5 watts. The capacitor is 0.25 µF at 250V AC.

For each start, the length of time the SCRs are conducting current as well as the magnitude of
that current determine how hot the SCRs will get. Between successive starts the SCRs must
cool down to avoid exceeding their thermal limits. Appendix B (Ratings, Cooling and Power
Losses) gives the S801-D’s application ratings for various starting conditions. Staying within
these specified limits should avoid over temperature trips.
When the S801-D control circuit senses that the internal temperature has increased above a
preset value, internal fans are tuned on to assist in cooling. To maximize fan life the fans are
only turned on when needed. Further discussion of fan operation can be found in Appendix B.
Control
The software contained in the S801-D IT. Soft Starter is the heart of the product. This software
allows you to control nearly every aspect of the soft starter’s functionality. In this section,
various features and protection options are described.
Starting Options
The following starting choices are available in the S801:
Note that the motor current observable with a standard RMS indicating meter may not be
correct because of its non-sinusoidal nature during starting. It is suggested that the starting
current be estimated from the T1 or T2 setting and the tabulation in Table 6-1 on Page 6-4.

Ramp Start
This mode of operation is the most commonly used form of soft start.
The motor is accelerated using an initial torque (T2) value of 5% to 85% of across-the-line
locked rotor torque, corresponding to 23% to 92% of the motor’s across-the-line locked rotor
current. The factory default is 35%. The torque is then increased over the range of the
programmed acceleration ramp start time (t r) by increasing the motor voltage. This can be
programmed from 0.5 to 180 seconds. The factory default is 9 seconds. The first half of the
control adjusts from 0.5 to 20 seconds, the next quarter from 20 to 60 seconds, and the last
quarter from 60 to 180 seconds. The unit will limit current to the specified torque. When the
motor is up to speed, it will go into bypass.

Chapter 6 — Configuration
Programming the S801-D
To program and operate the S801-D, a “Control Interface Module” (CIM) is required. The CIM
(Catalog Number EMA71) is for use with all models: S801N, S801R, S801T, S801U and S801V.
The CIM serves as the interface between the operator and the soft starter control circuitry to
program the soft starter. The CIM DIP switches and rotary controls are used to select the soft
starter settings. When making adjustments to the CIM under normal operation, the LEDs will
function as follows:
A change to any dip switch will cause all LEDs to flash momentarily.
An adjustment to any POT will cause all LEDs to light and stay lit until the adjustment of the
POT has been completed.
While selecting these parameters, 24V DC power may be applied to the soft starter, but it is
not required.

Note: The S801-D does not have to be powered to make adjustments to the control interface
module. Once the unit is energized, it will communicate with the CIM and load the set
parameters into the soft starter. Allow the unit 2 seconds to ensure communication
checks are complete and values are set. To verify CIM is operational, press the “Fault
Reset” button below the CIM, or apply 24V DC to terminal 4. If the CIM is powered and
communicating, all the LEDs will momentarily flash.
August 2006
Trip Class
To begin programming the S801-D, choose the trip class and the inside-the-delta FLA settings
desired.
The trip class setting is made by moving the dip switches into the appropriate position to
match the class overload desired.

Note: The motor does NOT automatically restart after a fault is reset.
Kick Start
The first set of parameters to be set on the CIM is for Kick Start, Figure 6-3. This feature is
designed to assist the starter in overcoming a high-friction load and break the rotor free, prior
to the normal start.
Two parameters must be set. The kick start torque value (T1) can be set from 5% to 85% of the
motor’s inside-the-delta across-the-line starting torque. This setting also equates to a
percentage of inside-the-delta locked rotor current of 23% to 92%.
For example: For a motor with an inside-the-delta locked rotor current of 6 x FLA, the initial
current would be limited to 5.5 x FLA or (0.92 x 6 x FLA) for a T1 setting of 85%. The torque
versus equivalent starting current values are found in Table 6-1.

These are typical values for a NEMA design B type motor. The starting torque versus
inside-the-delta locked rotor current relationship will vary for other NEMA design types
as determined by the manufacturer.
Next, adjust the time setting (tk) to apply the kick start torque from 0 to 2 seconds.

Ramp Start
The next element to be determined is the start configuration, either ramp (Figure 6-4) or
current limit (Figure 6-5). To select the ramp start, move the bottom DIP switch toward
“RAMP START”. In this mode, the motor torque is ramped up from an initial start level by
increasing the motor current until the motor is started or the ramp time has elapsed. The
initial starting torque point is selected by adjusting the T2 dial to the level required by the
application. T2’s range is 5% to 85% of the motor’s inside-the-delta locked rotor torque.
Equivalent values of inside-the-delta locked rotor current versus torque are shown in Table 6-1,
Page 6-4.
Once the initial torque point is determined, the ramp time must be selected by adjusting the
tr dial from 0.5 to 180 seconds.
At the end of the ramp time, the motor should be at full speed. If the motor is at 90% of rated
speed or more and its current is less that 2 x delta FLA, the bypass contacts will close,
connecting the motor directly across the input line power. If the motor has not reached 90%
speed, or its current is greater than 2 x delta FLA at the end of the ramp time, the soft starter
will trip. A stall fault will be indicated on the CIM. This could indicate that the load
characteristics have changed (load is jammed, full, damaged, etc.). If it occurs during the
initial commissioning of the unit, you will need to increase the initial torque setting, adjust
the ramp time, or both.
Note: The tr control is not linear to allow finer setting of short ramp times. The first half of the
pot adjusts from 0.5 to 20 seconds, the next quarter from 20 to 60 seconds, and the last
quarter from 60 to 180 seconds. The maximum value of tr can be modified at the
factory for special orders/applications. Contact Eaton for more information.

Soft Stop
The last item to be programmed is the soft stop. This feature slowly reduces the voltage
applied to the motor to extend its stop time.
The soft stop feature has one setting, ramp time ts, programmable from 0 to 60 seconds. If ts
is set to 0 when a stop command is given, the bypass contacts will open and the de-energized
motor will coast to a stop as if connected to an electromagnetic starter. If ts is set longer than
this coast down time, the soft stop output voltage will linearly decrease upon a stop
command, extending the stop time. Note that in some applications the motor will come to a
stop in less than the selected ts time if ts is set too long.

● Terminal P must have 24V DC applied.
● Terminal 2 is edge sensitive. This means that there must be a transition for 0 to 24V DC
to jog.
● In jog, the unit will follow the normal start ramp as long as terminal 2 is at 24V DC.
● To stop, remove the 24V DC from terminal 2.
● Jog operates the same as a normal start, except that the bypass contactors will not
close and the soft stop is not functional.
Note: Jog is only intended for short term jogging of the motor and not for long term two-

To obtain the fault flash codes from the CIM, hold the RESET button (located below the CIM)
down or apply 24V DC to terminal 4 and count the number of times all the LEDs on the CIM
flash.
For example, if you see three flashes, and then two more flashes after a short pause, the flash
code is 32.
The CIM can provide multiple flash codes, if more than one error condition caused a stop.
Once you see the same flash code repeated, you have seen all the flash codes for the error
conditions that caused the stop.
For example, if you see three flashes, a pause, then two flashes, a pause, then four flashes, a
pause, then one flash, the flash codes are 32 and 41. If you then see three flashes, a pause,
then two flashes, you are seeing the first code again. This means you have seen all the flash
codes for this stop. You may now release the RESET button or remove 24V DC from terminal
4. (Note that if an overload trip has occurred, 24V DC power must be applied to allow the
overload thermal memory to reset. Depending on the overload history prior to the latest trip,
this may be as long as 9 minutes.)
A list of flash codes and the faults they represent is shown in Table 8-4.

Appendix A — Protection
Thermal Overload
The IT. Soft Starter features an electronic motor overload protection feature. This is intended
to protect the motor and power wiring against overheating caused by excessive current for
extended periods of time.
Note: Short circuit protection must be applied on the line side of the soft starter.
Entering the delta motor full load current rating, using the “FLA current adjust” dial
programs trip current. It is programmable from 32% – 100% of the unit’s rated current.

Jam Detection
This feature is selectable: ON/DISABLE.
A current value of greater than 3 x FLA setting will stop the motor on a jam fault. If a jam is
detected, the soft starter shuts down, and the “Jam” light illuminates.
Note: Jam detection is active only after the motor has reached full speed and is in bypass
mode. If jam is disabled and the unit is in bypass and a jam occurs, the soft starter will
trip on contactor overcurrent if the motor current exceeds 4x the starter maximum
ampere rating.

Stall Detection
This feature is selectable: ON/DISABLE.
If the soft starter detects a stall condition greater than 2x FLA setting at end of ramp, the soft
starter shuts down and the “Stall” light illuminates.
Note: If stall detection is off and a stall occurs during start, the soft starter will trip on SCR
over current if the motor current exceeds 3x the FLA setting at the end of ramp.
Time
Note: Damage to the motor may result if the “T” leads are not connected per the diagram.

Cycling power on the device will typically NOT clear the thermal trip. The thermal pile and
the reset inhibit time are saved to the non-volatile memory. These values are reloaded when
the device boots and the timer is restarted at the full reset time. This means if the 3 minute
inhibit timer has been running two minutes, cycling power will require the user to wait the
full three minutes before a reset can clear the overload fault.

Severe Duty Ratings are defined as any combination of parameters that exceed the Standard
Duty Ratings where the ramp time is over 30 seconds, the number of starts per hour exceeds
4, or the current limit set is over 300%. Example: 35-Second Ramp, 5 Starts per Hour, 350%
Current Limit @ 40°C Ambient.

Cooling
Microcontroller controlled fans are used to cool the IT. Soft Starter. The fans are turned on
when the temperature of any of the thermal sensors exceeds preset value. Once the fans are
started, they will not go off until the temperature goes below the off set point for 10 minutes.
The fans will also be turned on whenever the IT. is started, stopped or jogged. The fans will
remain on for 10 minutes to assure the SCRs are adequately cooled prior to the next start.
If a temperature is sensed above a second preset level, a Pole Over-Temperature Fault will
occur. This fault cannot be reset until the temperature returns to a safe level.
Note: The fans will only operate if 24V DC is applied to the + and – terminals. Cycling power
during the 10 minute timeout after a start, stop or jog will reset the fans to off.
Power Losses
The following table lists the maximum power loss for each IT. Soft Starter when it is
operating in the across-the-line mode with its bypass contactor pulled in. These losses
should be used in conjunction with the losses of another cabinet mounted device to
determine the enclosure size and any cooling requirements.
