Breaker (Output) Features

Soft Start

Soft Start is a function that ramps up the voltage, of an output channel when it is turned on to
reduce the inrush current to the device being powered. (See: Figure 8)
Figure 8 - Soft Start Voltage Ramp
Soft Start ramps the voltage of the load output, over a 1 second period. This is to overcome initial
inertia in large systems at start-up.
Soft Start has a configurable initial voltage expressed as a percentage of the full voltage. The Soft
Start Initial Duty Cycle defaults to 20%.

Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)

Some breakers can be operated in pulse width modulation (PWM) mode, also referred to as
dimming, to control the brightness of incandescent or LED lighting. The breaker may be configured
to any value between 5% to 100% in increments of 1%.
Please note that the dimming function is not supported on breakers that have been configured to
operate in parallel with other breakers.
