DS7 series soft start controllers,
Frame 2 (16–32A)
Effective February 2011
Introduction
Eaton's DS7 solid-state soft start controller is an
electronic, self-contained panel- or enclosure-
mounted motor soft-starting device. It provides
three-phase induction motors with a smooth start,
both mechanically and electrically. The DS7 line
uses four silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs) that
are connected in a full wave-power bridge on two
phases. The voltage and current applied to the
motor are controlled by varying the SCR conduc-
tion period. This, in turn, controls the torque devel-
oped by the motor. After the motor reaches speed,
a bypass relay is energized to bypass the SCRs.
The DS7 is designed to fulfill the industrial service
requirements of applications such as chiller start-
ers, pump panels, and machine tools. This device
meets all relevant specifications set forth by UL
508, IEC 60947-4-2, CE, C-Tick, and CSA .
This leaflet covers basic installation and setup. No
publication can take into account every possible
