6 Softstarters | 1SFC132005C0201, rev. M
Common questions:
– How to avoid voltage drops when starting?
– ABB’s softstarter will reduce the starting current
and thereby avoid the voltage drops.
– How to avoid water hammering when stopping?
– Use our softstarters equipped with an optimized
stop ramp. Or even better, with torque control.
– How to ensure high reliability in harsh environments?
– Use our softstarters equipped with coated circuit
boards to better withstand those environments.
– How to protect my pumping equipment in the best
possible way?
– Use ABB’s softstarters equipped with our special
designed protections such as overload, underload,
and locked rotor protection.
Applications
Fans
Compressors
Conveyor belts
Common questions:
– How to avoid extended voltage drops due to long
starting time?
– Use ABB’s softstarter equipped with current limit to
keep control of the starting current.
– How to extend the life of the driving belts?
– Our softstarters will reduce the mechanical stress during
start, thus avoiding slipping belts.
– How to ensure the operation of the fan?
– A softstarter with underload protection will detect broken
belts, making the operator immediately aware of the
problem.
Common questions:
– How to ensure a long life of the compressor?
– Using a softstarter for starting will reduce the accelerating
torque, thereby minimizing the mechanical stress.
– How to build a compact compressor unit?
– Using a compact softstarter like PSR or PSE will allow a
much more compact starting equipment than for instance
a Star-Delta starter.
Common questions:
– How to reduce the need for service and repair of the
conveyor belt?
– A softstarter from ABB will ensure starts with minimal
mechanical stress on the conveyor belt.
– How to avoid that the conveyor belt is running in the
wrong direction?
– Use a softstarter with phase reversal protection.
– How to improve the efficiency of the conveyor belt?
– Using softstarters with high and low current warnings
allow you to load on and off the conveyor belt.
– How to ensure a successful start even after longer times
without operation?
– A softstarter with kick start function will provide sufficient
torque to be able to overcome the initial high friction from
a temporary jammed belt.
