S811 Soft Starter
Installation and Setup Guide
Introduction
The Cutler-Hammer
®
Intelligent Technologies (
IT
.) Soft
Starter from Eaton’s electrical business 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
IT
. line of soft starters utilizes six SCRs connected in a
full wave power bridge. The voltage and current applied to
the motor is controlled by varying the SCR conduction
period. This, in turn, controls the torque developed by the
motor. After the motor reaches speed, a bypass contactor
is energized to bypass the SCRs.
The
IT
. Soft Starter is designed to fulfill the industrial service
requirements of applications such as chiller starters, pump
panels and machine tools.
The
IT
. Soft Starter meets all relevant specifications set
forth by ICS-1, ICS-2, ICS-5, UL 508, IEC 60947-4-2, CSA
C22.2 No. 14 and CE.
