WEG SSW900 Soft Starters from AutomationDirect

AutomationDirect sells a variety of simple to highly advanced soft starters from multiple brands. Soft starters are devices dedicated to the smooth acceleration and deceleration of AC induction motors by controlling the voltage applied to them, easing stresses on motors and mechanical equipment. Combining convenience and innovation, the WEG SSW900 is the right choice for complete motor protection and start/stop control. This line of soft starters allows easy and simple access to the configuration settings and application data. The SSW900 line provides an unprecedented experience of interactivity with the user, allowing adjustments and configurations with online parameter help right on the HMI. The high-performance, removable graphic HMI features an easy and intuitive setup, a status interface with descriptions and units, customizable main screens with bar graphs or time graphs, a well-structured menu interface, and a setup assistant. In addition, event logs with date and time with battery-backed real-time clock. The starters can be programmed and monitored using the same free WPS software used for WEG VFDs and other motor controls, and there’s even Bluetooth for wireless monitoring and parameter change via the WEG WPS app. Available in universal input power for 220 to 575 VAC power systems from 10A to 950A with 100% duty cycle, it allows continuous operation without cooldown between starts. Advanced protection features include programmable protections for overvoltage, undervoltage, voltage phase imbalance, phase sequence, and limitation of voltage drop during start. Start/stop control methods such as voltage ramp+current limit, current ramp, torque control, and pump control. These units have a built-in bypass, which contributes to extending the life of the soft starter, optimizing space, and reducing heat dissipation inside electrical panels. For greater control, there are 5 digital inputs, 3 relay outputs, 1 analog output, and 1 PTC thermistor input with detachable terminals for easy wiring and two option slots for serial or ethernet communications or PT100 inputs.
