Soft-starters for medium-voltage drives

With our soft-starters, you can easily master the power-limitation required during the start-up of medium-voltage drives.

Our soft-starters enable the start-up of high-power electrical drives–even on weak grid, simultaneously protecting the machine from premature wear and tear.


Characteristics

Max. rated voltage*: 12 kV

Max. rated current*: 1.4 kA

Applications: Induction or synchronous machines

Operating modes: Short-term or continuous operation

Operation

High-power machine starters can be controlled remotely via a field bus or a galvanic interface.

Parameters are conveniently adjusted with a web-browser panel.

Signal lamps mounted on the control compartment access panel provide rapid feedback on system status.

For commissioning, service, and diagnostics, a display panel is integrated into the access panel of the control compartment for a user-friendly visualization of operational modes and chronology.


Personenschutz

Operator protection

Separate low-voltage compartment

A dedicated low-voltage compartment for system control is completely sealed off from the medium-voltage equipment. Access of this compartment is possible during operation.

Galvanic isolation

Isolation is provided between the high-power equipment and controls via fiber-optic connections.

Latching push-knobs

Prevent inadvertant opening of access panels.

Type-tested enclosure system

The power equipment is housed in type-tested medium-voltage enclosures.

Emergency stop

External and on the compartment access panel.

Access panel monitoring

Emergency stop if the panel is opened.
