General
Motor starters can be factory mounted on some size chillers and can be remote mounted on
all sizes. Larger size chillers are only available with remote mounted.
These starters are completely automatic and require no operator intervention (other than
clearing and resetting faults) to perform their function of providing a controlled connection
of the compressor motor to the power supply.
Low and medium voltage starters have similar software characteristics and are discussed
together in their operating section. However, some parameters and data are different.
Where this occurs, separate tables and figures are provided.
The purpose of this manual is to provide the site operator with sufficient information to
understand the operating state of the motor/starter, access motor operating data, and to
recognize and deal with faults. Starter setpoints are factory set or set at startup by the
Daikin startup technician. Owner/operator adjustment of setpoints is discouraged.
The starters are characterized by their control software, known as “MX3 Control”. Certain
electrical operating data for these low voltage starters is transmitted to the chiller and can be
viewed on the operator touch screen if the “Full Metering Option” has been ordered. See
page 40 for details.

While known and specified for their ability to control compressor motor speed for
efficiency enhancement, VFDs also perform starting and motor protection functions. They
are only available for 3/60/460-480 service.
VFDs are available only from Daikin and when purchased as part of the original
chiller purchase. Installation and operation are covered in Daikin manual IOMM
1159.

Basic Electrical Terms

Bypass contactor: Contactors that bypass auto-transformers, reactors, or SCRs, and allow
full power to reach the motor directly.
Closed transition: A reduced voltage starter characteristic when the motor is NOT
temporarily disconnected from the line during the transition from starting mode to
operating mode. The electrical load is transferred to resistors during the transition phase
and the second inrush spike is suppressed
Full load amps (FLA): The maximum amps the motor is designed for.
Inrush current: The amount of current that a specific motor and starter combination will
draw during start-up. Normal inrush current will be substantially less than LRA for all
starter types, except for across-the-line starters.
Interrupting capacity: The maximum fault current that a circuit breaker or fused
disconnect can successfully interrupt. As the rating increases, the construction becomes
heavier duty. For disconnect switches with fuses, the rating is based on 0 to 600 volts.

4 IOMM 1158-1
 For circuit breakers, the voltage and amperage relationship is considered with interrupting
capacity decreasing as voltage increases.
Locked rotor amps (LRA): The amount of current that a specific motor will draw at start-
up, when full voltage is applied across the line. The LRA may be 6 to 8 times FLA, or
possibly higher in some cases.
Low Voltage: Voltages up to 600 volts
Medium Voltage: Voltages from 1000 volts to 69,000 (1kV to 69kV)
Open transition: A reduced voltage starter characteristic occurring when the motor is
temporarily disconnected from power at the time the starter changes from the
starting mode to the final running mode. A second smaller inrush spike will occur.
Daikin does not recommend use of this type of starter.
Phase amps: The current draw inside the delta connection of a wye-delta motor winding.
It is equal to 0.577 x RLA of the motor for a specific load.
Rated load amps (RLA): Actual amperage that the motor draws for a specific application.
Centrifugal compressor motors operate at a RLA significantly below their maximum full
load amps. RLA is used to determine electrical component sizing such as wire size and
disconnect switches.
Starting torque: Minimum torque required to begin the motor’s rotation.
Withstand rating: There is a period of time that the short circuit current passes to the
shorted circuit before the protection device can open. This time can be as long as 0.020
seconds (one cycle). The withstand rating of a starter is the maximum short circuit current
that it can pass safely without emitting sparks or debris.

Starter Installation
Inspection
Thoroughly inspect the device for possible shipping damage before storing or installing
the starter
• Remove the starter from its package and inspect exterior for shipping damage. If
damage is apparent, notify the shipping agent and your sales representative.
• Open the enclosure and inspect the starter for any apparent damage or foreign
objects. Ensure that all of the mounting hardware and terminal connection hardware
is properly seated, securely fastened, and undamaged.
• Ensure all connections and wires are secured.
• Read the technical data label affixed to the starter and ensure that the correct
horsepower and input voltage for the application has been purchased.
General Information
Ensure:
• The wiring diagram (supplied separately with the starter) is correct for the required
application.
• The starter is the correct current rating and voltage rating for the motor being started.
• All of the installation safety precautions are followed.
• The correct power source is available.
• The starter control method has been selected.
• The connection cables have been obtained (lugs) and associated mounting hardware.
• The necessary installation tools and supplies are procured.
• The installation site meets all environmental specifications for the starter
NEMA/CEMA rating.
• The motor being started has been installed and is ready to be started.
• Any power factor correction capacitors (PFCC) are installed on the power source side
of the starter and not on the motor side.
Failure to remove power factor correction or surge capacitors from the load side of
the starter will result in serious damage to the starter that will not be covered by the
starter warranty. The capacitors must be connected to the line side of the starter. The
up-to-speed (UTS) contact can be used to energize the capacitors after the motor has
reached full speed.
Safety Information
• Ensure that the installation site meets all of the required environmental conditions
• LOCK OUT ALL SOURCES OF POWER.
• Install circuit disconnecting devices (i.e., circuit breaker, fused disconnect or non-
fused disconnect) if they were not previously installed by the factory as part of the
package.
• Install short circuit protection (i.e., circuit breaker or fuses) if not previously installed
by the factory as part of the package.
• Follow all NEC (National Electrical Code) and/or C.S.A. (Canadian Standards
Association) standards or Local Codes as applicable.

6 IOMM 1158-1
 • Remove any foreign objects from the interior of the enclosure, especially wire strands
that may be left over from installation wiring.
• Ensure that a qualified electrician installs wiring.
• Ensure that the individuals installing the starter are wearing ALL protective eyewear
and clothing.
• Ensure the starter is protected from debris, metal shavings and any other foreign
objects.
Mounting Arrangements
Low voltage starters can be factory-mounted with power and control wiring factory-
installed or they can be free-standing, requiring field mounting remote from the unit and
field-wiring of power and control wiring. Because of dimension restrictions for shipping,
some “factory-mounted” starters for large chillers are shipped separate from the unit.
Mounting supports are on the unit and preassembled cable kits are provided. Mounting
and wiring on site are the customer’s responsibility and can be subcontracted to Daikin
Factory Service if desired.
Medium voltage starters and some size low voltage starters on WSC 100 through 126 are
only available for free-standing applications.
Low voltage starters can be supplied in several different mounting arrangements
depending on the chiller size and starter type. See Table 1 for available arrangements.
• Factory-Mounted (optional): The starter is mounted on the chiller unit with the back of
the starter against the motor terminal box and wired directly to the motor. This
arrangement is only available on WSC/WDC 063, 079, or 087 units (cover
photograph).
• Free-standing (standard): Floor-mounted, separate from the chiller unit, and field
wired to the compressor motor. This is available on all units and is the only starter
arrangement available for WDC/WCC 100 and 126 dual compressor units.
• Brackets and cable (optional): Starters for WSC 100 single compressor units may be
shipped separately from the chiller unit and furnished with mounting brackets and
interconnecting cables for field mounting and connection by others. This option must
be clearly specified when chillers are ordered since brackets are welded onto the
evaporator during its construction.

Receiving and Setting

Since factory-mounted starters are mounted and wired at the factory, this section will only
apply to free-standing units.
All Daikin free-standing centrifugal starters are shipped FOB factory and all claims
for handling and shipping damage are the responsibility of the consignee.

IOMM 1158-1 7
 Use extreme care when rigging the starter to prevent damage. See the certified dimension
drawings included in the job submittal for the center of gravity of the unit. Consult the local
Daikin sales office for assistance if the drawings are not available.
Fastening rigging hooks to the four lifting eyes located on the top of the unit.

Location and Mounting

Clearance
The starter must be mounted on a level concrete or steel base and must be located to provide
adequate space for servicing. Local codes or the National Electric Code (NEC) can require
more clearance in and around electrical components and must be checked.
Mounting
Provide a floor or structural support adequate to support the full weight of the unit.
Standard NEMA 1 and NEMA 12 starters must be installed indoors in an area that is not
exposed to direct water spray. Do not install in areas where the ambient temperature falls
below 32°F (0°C) or exceeds 104°F (40°C) enclosed, or 122°F (50°C) open unless this was
noted at the time of order placement and special precautions were taken to protect against
these abnormal temperatures.
Heatsink temperatures can run as high as 158°F (70°C) during normal operation. Do not
mount the starter in contact with any material that cannot accept this heat. The starter must be
mounted with the heat sink fins oriented vertically in an area that will not experience
excessive shock or vibration.

Environmental Requirements
Provisions should be provided in the starter enclosure to ensure that the temperature inside
the enclosure never rises above 122°F (50°C) or the starter could be damaged or the life of
the starter could be reduced. Storage temperature limits are -4°F to 155°F (-20°C to 70°C).
Safety Precautions
! WARNING
An incoming disconnect must be locked open before wiring or servicing the starter, motor, or
other related equipment. Shock hazard exists. Pressing the Stop push-button on the chiller
control panel does not remove AC mains potential. The equipment must only be serviced by
qualified personnel fully familiar with the equipment.

! WARNING
For safety of maintenance personal as well as others who might be exposed to electrical
hazards associated with maintenance activities, the safety related work practices of NFPA
70, Part II, should always be followed when working on electrical equipment.

The opening of the branch circuit protective device may be an indication that a fault current
has been interrupted. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, current carrying parts and other
components of the starter should be inspected and replaced if damaged.
Power Factor Capacitors, Surge Capacitors and Lightning Arrestors
These devices MUST NOT be used with solid state starters. The SCR’s in the starter will be
damaged by the di/dt levels created.

Field Power Wiring
Power wiring between the starter and the compressor motor terminals must be field supplied
and installed on units with remote-mounted, free-standing starters. See the field wiring
diagram on page 32.
Wiring, fuse and wire size must be in accordance with the National Electric Code
(NEC). Standard NEMA motor starters require modification to meet Daikin
specifications. Refer to Daikin Specification 7359999 Rev 29 which is available on
www.DaikinApplied.com .
Starter terminal size range is found on the specific starter dimension drawing beginning on
page 9.

! CAUTION
Voltage unbalance not to exceed 2% with a resultant current unbalance of 6 to 10 times the
voltage unbalance per NEMA MG-1, 1998 Standard. This is an important restriction that must
be followed to avoid equipment damage..

Power wiring to compressors must be in proper phase sequence. Motor rotation is set up for
clockwise rotation facing the lead end with phase sequence of 1-2-3. Care must be taken that
the proper phase sequence is carried through the starter to compressor. With the phase
sequence of 1-2-3 and L1 connected to T1 and T6, L2 connected to T2 and T4, and L3
connected to T3 and T5, rotation is proper. See diagram in terminal box cover.
The Daikin start-up technician will check the phase sequence.
Note: Do not make final connections to motor terminals until wiring has been checked and
approved by a Daikin technician.
! CAUTION
Connections to terminals must be made with copper lugs and copper wire to avoid possible
equipment damage. Under no circumstances should a compressor be brought up to speed
until proper sequence and rotation have been established. Serious damage can result if the
compressor starts in the wrong direction. Such damage is not covered by product warranty

General Wiring Practice

Wire groups
Signal wiring refers to wires connected to the control terminals that are below 15V.
• Shielded wire is required to prevent electrical noise interference from causing
improper operation or nuisance trips.
• Signal wire should be rated for at least 300V.
• Keep signal wire as far away as possible from control and power wiring.
Control wiring is wiring connected to the control terminal strip that carry 24V to 220V.
• Use only UL or CSA recognized wire.
• Use copper wire rated for 60/75°C.
• Power wiring to the motor must have the maximum possible separation from all other
wiring. Do not run control wiring in the same conduit; this separation reduces the
possibility of coupling electrical noise between circuits. Minimum spacing between
metallic conduits containing different wiring groups should be three inches (76 mm).
• Minimum spacing between different wiring groups should be six inches (152 mm).

IOMM 1158-1 27
 • Wire runs outside of an enclosure should be run in metallic conduit or have
shielding/armor with equivalent attenuation.
• Wire groups should cross at 90 degrees whenever power and control wiring cross.
• Different wire groups should be run in separate conduits.
• Adhere to local electrical codes.
• The National Electrical Code and Canadian Electrical Code requires that an approved
circuit disconnecting device be installed in series with the incoming AC supply in a
location readily accessible to personnel installing or servicing this equipment. If a
disconnect switch is not supplied with the starter, one must be installed.
• Supply and motor wiring will usually enter and leave the enclosure from the top. Wire
connections can be determined to best suit specific installations. Wire runs should be
properly braced to handle both starting and fault currents. Size power cable per local
electrical codes. Long lengths of cable to the motor of over 150 feet must be de-rated.
BEFORE APPLYING MAIN POWER
The starter has been fully tested before leaving the factory to help a rapid and problem-
free start-up. Before applying power to the starter, consult the start-up checklist below.
1. Inspect starter and remove any foreign matter.
2. Inspect the starter for any shipping damage.
3. Ensure that all electrical connections are as per the system schematics supplied with
the starter and/or connection diagrams.
4. Ensure that all connections are properly tightened.
5. Test L to T resistance of each phase and ensure that it is greater than 50 kohms.
Reverse leads and test again.
6. Check that the gate to cathode resistance of each SCR is between 8 and 50 ohms.
7. Check the resistance of all power and motor leads to ground to ensure that there is no
foreign matter present or damage to the insulation which can short one or more of the
phases to ground.
8. Apply 120 Vac control voltage to the starter.

Medium Voltage, Solid State, Across-the-Line

Incoming and outgoing connections are NEMA 2-hole pattern, ½-inch, 1 ¾-inch apart,
as defined by NEMA Standard CC!-2 Bus Tabs per phase.

Compressor Motor Connections

Power wiring connections at the motor are “spark plug” type terminals with threaded

”
Use 3/8 dia. Cadmium plated steel bolt, nut
and lockwasher. Torque to 20 ft-lbs. Copper
Used on Wye-Delta starters only wire and lugs must be used.

Field Control Wiring

Control wiring is required between the starter and the unit for three purposes:
1. Transmit start and stop commands from the unit to the starter.
2. Transmit electrical information concerning motor operation from the starter to the unit
control system.
3. Supply control power from the starter transformer to the unit control panels.

General Practice
Signal wiring refers to wires connected to the control terminals that are low voltage, below
15V.
• Shielded wire is required to prevent electrical noise interference from
causing improper operation or nuisance trips.
• Signal wire should be rated for at least 300V.
• Keep signal wire as far away as possible from control and power wiring.
Control wiring refers to wires connected to the control terminal strip that carry 24V to 220V.
• Use only UL or CSA recognized wire.
• Use copper wire rated for 60/75°C.

IOMM 1158-1 29
 Control Power Wiring
Control power wiring for starters covered in this manual is shown on Figure 23 on page
32. Low voltage starters may have additional control wiring as shown on Figure 22 if
the optional full metering package is ordered with the unit.
The control circuit on the Daikin centrifugal packaged chiller is designed for 115-
volts. Control power can be supplied from three different sources:
• If the unit is supplied with a factory-mounted starter, the control circuit power supply
is factory-wired from a transformer located in the starter.
• A free-standing starter furnished by Daikin or by the customer to Daikin
specifications, will have a control transformer in it and requires field wiring to
terminals in the compressor terminal box.
• Power can be supplied from a separate circuit and fused at 20 amps inductive load.
The control circuit disconnect switch must be tagged to prevent current interruption.
Other than for service work, the switch is to remain on at all times in order to
keep oil heaters operative and prevent refrigerant from diluting the oil.

! DANGER
If a separate control power source is used, the following must be done to avoid severe
personal injury or death from electrical shock. Place a notice on the unit that multiple
power sources are connected to the unit. Place a notice on the main and control
power disconnects that another source of power to the unit exists.

Separate Power Source

Chiller control power usually comes from a control transformer located in the starter and
factory or field wired to the chiller control panel. In the event a separate transformer supplies
control voltage, it must be rated at 3 KVA, with an inrush rating of 12 KVA minimum at 80%
power factor and 95% secondary voltage. For control wire sizing, refer to NEC. Articles 215
and 310. In the absence of complete information to permit calculations, the voltage drop
should be physically measured.
Table 2, Control Power Line Sizing
Maximum Length, ft (m) Wire Size (AWG) Maximum Length, ft (m) Wire Size (AWG)
0 (0) to 50 (15.2) 12 120 (36.6) to 200 (61.0) 6
50 (15.2) to 75 (22.9) 10 200 (61.0) to 275 (83.8) 4
75 (22.9) to 120 (36.6) 8 275 (83.8) to 350 (106.7) 3
Notes:
1. Maximum length is the distance a conductor will traverse between the control power
source and the unit control panel.
2. Panel terminal connectors will accommodate up to number 10 AWG wire. Larger
conductors will require an intermediate junction box.
The Unit On/Off switch located in the Unit Control Panel should be turned to the "Off"
position any time compressor operation is not desired.

Low Voltage Starters

Control wiring for low voltage starters is per the wiring diagram on page 32. If the optional
“Full Metering Display” has been ordered, the following section will apply.

30 IOMM 1158-1
 Full Metering Option
Remote mounted wye-delta, solid state, and across-the-line starters require
field wiring to activate the optional ammeter display or full metering
display option on the chiller’s operator interface panel. The wiring is from
the MX3 board in the starter to the compressor controller.

Wiring Connection on Starter for Optional Display

Figure 22, Wiring for Optional Display

NOTES:
• The serial card location is in the lower-center of the compressor controller located in the chiller
control panel.
• The “MX3” is located in the starter.
• The connections are (-) to (-), (+) to (+) and SCOM to GND with s shield connection on the
starter terminal board.
• Cable is Belden 9841 or equal (120 OHM characteristic impedence)

Starter Operation
General
The startup of Daikin centrifugal chillers, including the starters, is performed by Daikin
authorized and trained technicians. They review the starter connections, phase
sequence, and settings prior to starting the chiller.
Setting a freestanding starter and power and control wiring from it to the chiller is the
responsibility of the owner/contractor. See the installation and power and control wiring
sections of this manual before commencing installation.
In the rare instances where a starter is being replaced after the chiller has been in
service, Daikin service is not automatically involved but can be contracted to supervise the
starter installation.
The chiller controller starts and stops the compressor motor as required and is the only way to
start it.

Starter Controller (MX3)

The MX3 starter control has a 2x16 character, back-lit LCD display/keypad that is mounted on
the starter door, remotely from the MX3 control card inside the starter cabinet.

Figure 24, MX3 Display/Keyboard

Description of the LEDs on the Keypad
