SSM Series Medium Voltage Solid State Soft Starter
2300 – 4160V, 200 – 600A
Overview: This detailed Specication Guide assists Plant and Consulting Engineers to specify and describe
the ABB SSM Series Digital Reduced Voltage Solid State Starter. This equipment is provided
as a superior method of providing soft start control and protection for AC motors. It also solves
performance control and reliability problems typical of electro-mechanical reduced voltage motor
starter methods, such as Part Winding, AutoTransformer, and Primary Reactors. Advantages
include solid state construction, advanced motor protection, stepless acceleration, reduced
inrush current, minimal maintenance and high duty cycle capability. Applications include, but
are not exclusively dedicated to: pumps, fans, blowers, grinders, compressors, lumber and rock
processing, conveyors, and mixers.
