Notes for users To ensure a trouble-free operation users have to consider following issues: cooling, protection by fuses and isolation of solid-state contactors. 1. Cooling Heat sinks have to be selected because of the heat loss arising in the semiconductor. The thermal resistance Rth is the characteristic parameter of a heat sink and is measured in [K/W] (K = Kelvin, W = Watt). Where: The higher the thermal resistance the poorer is the solid-state relay cooling. The relation between temperature of the solid-state relay, loss power and heat sink is as follows: 3. Disconnecting device for isolation...

Softstarters Why are softstarters used? 1. Starting motors Three-phase asynchronous motors are most common as drives in today’s machinery and installations. In the power range up to 5.5 kW, such motors are mostly started by a direct-online starter, and by star/delta starters above this power. When doing so, it may happen that the driving elements and thus the driven machine connected to them are suddenly loaded and therefore overloaded in the moment of starting. Also work pieces and handled parts may be damaged. These problems can be perfectly solved by the use of softstarters. By phase-angle...

Motor Braking Units Safe braking of three-phase motors The wish for more safety of industrial machines requires reliable braking devices. However, economic considerations often matter when it comes to their purchasing apart from the safety aspect. By quick stopping of dangerous machine parts braking devices prevent both industrial accidents and also damages to equipment. Therefore, accident prevention rules require them for some machinery and plants, e.g. in the wood and textile industries. Moreover, braking devices help to reduce cost by shortening the deceleration times of machines. Today,...

Motor Braking Units PTC thermistors specifically offered for motor protection are suited as temperature probes. The signal output contact of the thermal monitoring should arranged so that the motor is stopped for safety reasons when the control contact trips, but can not be restarted afterwards until the thermal data allow a restarting. Softstarters extend the motor service life To extend the service life of three-phase motors brake devices are often used in combination with softstarters. They allow a more economic design of the driving components and can also be retrofitted in existing installations...
