WEG SSW05 series soft starters are designed to provide a cost-effective and efficient solution for starting and stopping three-phase induction motors.
Features
The WEG SSW05 Soft Starter is a compact, fully digital soft starter with a state-of-the-art DSP (Digital Signal Processor) controller. Its digital construction provides optimum operation, diagnostics capability and full motor protection.
Simplicity in set-up and operation is assured since all parameters and set-up selections are made via DIP switches and potentiometers. Status LEDs alert the user of the operational status of the SSW05. Simplicity, ease of set-up, and the small panel assure quick and easy installation and operation.
Main Characteristics
- Currents: 3 to 85 A
- Voltage: 220 to 575 V
- Control with DSP
- Remote HMI (optional)
- Built-in motor protections
- Built-in RS-485 serial communication
Benefits
- Built-in bypass
- Control with digital processor (DSP)
- High efficiency
- Compact
- It extends the lifespan of the motor and mechanical devices of the driven machine by eliminating mechanical shocks
- Easy to operate, adjust and service
- Simple electrical installation
- Operation in environments up to 55 °C
- Great reduction of the stresses on the couplings and driving devices (gear boxes, pulleys, gears, belts, etc.) during the start
Remote Operating Interface
It is an operating interface for installation on panel door or machine console. This interface also incorporates the copy function, which allows you to copy the parameter setting from one SSW05 to another in a quick and reliable way, saving programming time in machine manufacturing applications.
Free SuperDrive Programming Software
Programming software via personal computer in Windows® environment for parameter setting, command and monitoring of the SSW05 Plus. It allows you to edit parameters on-line, and parameter files stored on the microcomputer off-line.
It is possible to store parameter files of all the SSW05 Plus units present in the application. The SuperDrive also includes functions to transfer the parameter set from the personal computer to the SSW05 Plus and vice versa. The communication between the soft-starter and personal computer is done via RS232 serial interface.
Applications
The SSW05 soft-starter is especially recommended for applications in:
- Rotary vane vacuum pump
- Centrifugal pumps
- Calenders (starts with no load)
- Screw compressors (start in relief)
- Mixers
- Cellulose refiners
- Axial fans (low inertia – light load)
The SSW05, featuring DSP control (Digital Signal Processor), is designed for optimal performance in motor start and stop, with excellent cost effectiveness. They incorporate all the protections for you electric motor, in addition to being easily set, simplifying the start-up activities and daily operations. Their compact dimensions contribute to the optimization of spaces in electrical panels.
