Soft starts provide new dimension in motor control
Rockwell Automation is claiming a quantum leap in soft motor starting with the launch of two new Allen-Bradley units, the SMC-3 and SMC-Delta. The latest electronic circuitry and packaging techniques have been combined to produce class-leading soft starters that offer three-phase control within a footprint only 45mm wide. SMC soft starters feature a built in electronic overload and SCR bypass contactor.
By reducing the number of components and amount of heat generated, panel space is kept to a minimum.
Soft starters limit power line disturbances and reduce inrush currents, while reducing stress on the motor to extend operational life and minimise downtime.
They are ideal for applications such as compressors, chillers, pumps, conveyors and crushers where direct-online starting could result in damage to mechanical systems.
The SMC-3 is suitable for a wide range of starting applications that require the control and flexibility of a soft start, while the SMC-Delta is specifically designed as a replacement for a traditional star-delta starter.
The SMC-3 is a smart and compact unit, with an integrated design that reduces the number components required, optimising panel space and making installation quick and easy.
