Areas of application / load types
Starting of a motor causes a rapid change in the load current. The resulting torque impulses
place severe stresses on the mechanical parts of a machine or plant. Moreover, voltage dips
can occur in the power supply system which can have a negative influence on other devices:
Flicker in lights
Influence on computer systems
Contactors and relays dropping out
The 3RW52 soft starter controls the voltage continuously. The torque and the current are
thus also increased continuously. The power supply system is safeguarded against peak
loads and the drive train is protected against damage:
Smooth starting / stopping, e.g. for conveyor belts
No pressure surges, e.g. for pumps
Increased service life of the pipe system, e.g. for compressors
Reduced starting current, e.g. for agitators
Reduced stress on gearbox and V belt, e.g. for saws
