Why Softstarters? Benefits for the Electrical network Starting Current • Reduces voltage drops on networks • Minimizes starting currents • Eliminates current spikes • Allows optimization of cabling Current Star/Delta D.O.L Softstart Speed Minimized inrush current with no transition spikes
Why Softstarters? Mechanical benefits Starting Torque • Minimizes stress on transmissionslike gearboxes, belts and bearings • Reduced water hammering • Minimizes maintenance cost • Reduces down-time Torque D.O.L Star/Delta Softstart Speed Optimized torque What is your actual cost?
Softstarter Principal function: Anti-parallel connected thyristors Time delay Voltage reduction during start
Peak Line Voltage 680V RMS Line Voltage480V RMS Switched Voltage240V Thyristor turn on delayed until this point in the sine wave. How Softstarters Work • A Thyristor is a high speed one-way “switch” • By switching on “late” the “RMS” or average voltage to the motor is reduced
How Softstarters Work • By using opposing Thyristors, both sides of the sine wave can be controlled
Gate Fire 100% Volts Time How Softstarters Work • By advancing the “Gating” or firing point, we can ramp the voltage up (or down).
T Ue2 I Ue T I Ue = 50 % => I = 50 % rpm rpm Ue = 50 % => T(0,52) = 25 % Softstarter
