Voltage Ramp Starting: This is the most commonly used method. Very easy to program and set. The Soft-Starter SSW-07 imposes the voltage applied to the motor. Generally applied to loads with a lower initial torque or a square torque. This kind of control can be used as an initial working test.
Kick Start Enabling DIP Switch Figure 4.2 - Kick Start enabling Soft-Starter SSW-07 offers a Kick Start function for loads that present a large initial resistance to movement. This function is enabled through the Kick Start DIP Switch. The duration of the voltage pulse is set through the trimpot Kick Start Time.
SETTING If the current limit is reached during the start of the motor, Soft- Starter SSW-07 will maintain the current at this limit until the motor reaches nominal speed. If the current limit is not reached, the motor will start immediately.
Please consider that in cases where the relation of the SSW-07 current and the motor nominal current is 1.00, the maximum time that the SSW-07 can work with 3 x In is 30 seconds. 4.6 DECELERATION Enables and sets the time of voltage decrease.
Chapter 4 - SettING the SSW-07 Deceleration Ramp Time Setting Trimpot Figure 4.6 - Deceleration ramp time setting 4.7 MOTOR This setting defines the ratio of the SSW-07 current and the motor CURRENT current. The value of the setting is very important since it defines SETTING the protection of the motor driven by the SSW-07. The setting of this function interferes directly in the following motor protections: -Overload; -Overcurrent; -Stall; -Phase loss. Calculation Example: SSW-07 Used: 30 A Motor Used: 25 A...

A fault condition can be reset using the RESET key at the front of 4.9 RESET the SSW-07 or through a push-button (0.5 seconds) at DI3 (digital input for RESET). Another way to reset the SSW-07 is by switching Off/On the electronic power supply (A1 and A2). NOTE!
SSW-07 input. Refer to figure 3.3.2. In order to change the relay output RL1 programming follow these instructions: 1. To enter in programming mode keep the reset key, at the SSW-07 front cover, pressed during 5 seconds, keeping it also pressed throughout the programming; 2. When in the programming mode two LEDs turn on (Overcurrent and Phase Loss), indicating that DI2 is programmed for Error Reset.
ATTENTION! To know the correct programming of the parameters, have your load data on hand and use the WEG (Soft-Starter) Dimensioning Software available at WEG’s home page (http://www.weg.net). If you are unable to use the software mentioned above, you can follow some practical concepts described in this chapter.

NOTE! Remember that this protection has as a standard the Three Phase IP55 Standard WEG Motor, therefore if your motor is different, then do not program the thermal class to its maximum, instead, program it near its minimum thermal class to start.
Chapter 5 - prOGraMMING INFOrMatION aND SUGGeStIONS Example of how setting the thermal class: Motor data: Power: 50 hp Voltage: 380 V Nominal Current (ln): 71 A Service Factor (S.F.): 1.00 lp/ln: 6.6 Stall time: 12 s in hot condition Speed: 1770 rpm Motor + load starting data: Starting by Voltage Ramp, starting current average: 3 x the nominal current of the motor during 25 s (3 x ln @ 25 s). 1) In the graph, figure 4.8 in cold condition, one can see the minimum Thermal Class that will allow the start with a reduced voltage: For 3 x ln of the motor @25 s, the next highest is adopted: Class 10.
Chapter 5 - prOGraMMING INFOrMatION aND SUGGeStIONS 5.2.3 Service Factor When the Service Factor (S.F.) is different from 1.00 and if there is a need to use it, one can check in the graph, in cold condition, the points for S.F.=1.15 and in the table for S.F.=1.15.
