About the SSW7000 3 ABOUT THE SSW7000 The “Soft-Starter WEG 7000” is a high performance product that allows the starting/stopping control and protection of medium voltage three-phase induction motors, thus preventing mechanical shocks ant the load, current peaks in the supply line and damage to the motor.
IEC 62271-100 and with the standards of the main industrialized countries. This circuit breaker is sized to withstand direct on line starting and the SSW7000 rated current at full load. It also allows the implementation of a direct on line starting logic.
SSW7000 in its rated start operation duty, which is specified in the section 9.1 – Power Data. This contactor is sized to withstand direct on line starting and the SSW7000 rated current at full load. It also allows the implementation of a direct on line starting logic.
For further details, refer to sections 15.5 - Motor Thermal Protection and 15.6 - Motor Thermal Class Protection, of the programming manual. 3.1.11. Tests The SSW7000 has a test routine with the purpose of verifying the main panel connections. For more details, refer to the section 7.1- SSW7000 Operation Verification in this manual and to the section 14.2 - Test Mode in the...
Control for a SSW7000 The SSW7000 can control the motor power factor correction (PFC) capacitor bank directly through a digital output (DO1, DO2 or DO3) programmed for “PFC Control”. The digital output will then be activated after the motor starts and after the bypass contactor closes, thus preventing the capacitor bank from being activated with the motor turned off or during the motor start or stop.
Page 18
Figure 3.7: Parallel connections between "n" SSW7000C In order to automatically control the motor power factor correction (PFC) capacitor banks for multiple SSW7000, a digital input (DI1, DI2, DI3, DI4, DI5 or DI6) must be set to “PFC Lock”, a digital output (DO1, DO2 or DO3) must be set to “PFC Control”, and another digital output must be set to “PFC Lock”.
The start of multiple SSW7000 is done sequentially and/or simultaneously. For the simultaneous start condition of two or more SSW7000, the PFC capacitor banks will be enabled at the same time after the start of the last motor. As described by IEC 60871-1, the peak value of the capacitor bank inrush current must not exceed 100 times the value of the rated current.
About the SSW7000 3.3. HOW TO SPECIFY THE SSW7000 MODEL (SMART CODE) In order to specify the correct model of WEG Soft-Starter, use the product smart code. It is composed of several parts, which are described below: SSW7000 Table 3.1. Smart Code...
3.4.1. Unpacking Use proper tools to unpack the SSW7000 panel and its power arms. During this process, make sure that all the items listed in the documentation that comes with the product are present and in perfect conditions. Contact your local WEG representative or WEG service in case of any irregularity.
About the SSW7000 Figure 3.11: b) SSW7000C Power Arms with package 3.4.2. Panel and Power Arm Storage If the panel and/or the power arms are not installed soon after unpacked, the following storage instructions must be followed: They must be packed again in their original packages, but without the plastic film, in order to avoid moisture condensation.
The HMI can be installed and removed even when power is applied to the SSW7000. The HMI supplied with the product can also be used to command the SSW7000 remotely. Therefore, use a cable with male and female D-Sub9 (DB9) connectors, with pin-to-pin connections, or a market standard Null Modem cable.
Installation and Connection 5 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION This chapter describes the SSW7000 electrical and mechanical installation procedures. The presented instructions and guidelines must be followed aiming personnel and equipment safety, as well as the SSW7000 proper operation. ATTENTION! Only trained personnel, qualified to work with medium voltage installations, must handle the SSW7000 and perform the mechanical and electrical installation.

ATTENTION! In order that the protections based on the current reading and indication (motor overload for example) operate properly, the motor rated current must not be less than 20% of the SSW7000 rated current. We do not recommend the use of motors that operate in steady state with load of less than 50% of their rated current.

6.1. SSW7000 ELECTRONIC BOARDS The SSW7000 is supplied with the versions of electronic boards 2 (V2) and 3 (V3). The both versions use the same source board (FSMT), but with different firmware. The version 3 was developed to attend the electrical isolation class required for the SSW7000 of 13.8kV.
Internal Connections NOTE! The SSW7000 CC11 hardware is identical to that of the CFW-11 CC11. However, the firmware version and the PLD code are different. Because of the different PLD code, it is not possible to transform a CFW-11 board into an SSW7000 one by simply updating the firmware. Only the CC11xy.Sz boards are adequate for the SSW7000.

However, it is continuous, with medium level and with no jerks. During JOG The SSW7000 JOG function applies a low frequency to the motor, which produces high and pulsing noises at the motor, according to the JOG level.
10.4. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE DANGER! Always disconnect the input power before touching any electrical component associated to the SSW7000. Follow the disconnection sequence described in this manual, item 10.4.1 - SSW7000 Disconnection Sequence. High voltages may be present even after disconnecting the power supply.
7. During the entire procedure, messages will be displayed on the HMI screen, informing the sequence of commands executed by the function. DANGER! The whole procedure must be carried out with the SSW7000 panel door closed. NOTE! The safe disconnection procedure is for the connections of the circuits on the output of the isolating switch only.
It is recommended that the maximum voltage drop at the start be limited to 20% of the rated supply voltage. Programming of protection relays present in the installation that feeds the SSW7000. The cycle of direct online starts to be performed must be compatible with the specified motor start capacity.
