8.3 Electronic starters sDSSte / sDSte / sRSSte / sRSte
The electrical properties of the direct soft starter DSSe are comparable with
those of the 2-phase SIRIUS soft starter.
The following variants of type 1 are available:
• 2 A without bridge
• 12 A with bridge
8.3.1 Basic physical principles
Start-up current
Three-phase current induction motors have a high switch-on current I
Depending on the motor version, this can lie between 3 and 15 times the rated
operating current. 7 to 8 times the motor rated current can be assumed as a
typical value.
