What are the functions of a soft starter?

 What are the functions of a soft starter?

 

Overload protection: 

 

The soft starter introduces a current control loop, so it can track and detect the change of motor current at any time. By increasing the setting of overload current and the inverse time limit control mode, the overload protection function is realized. When the motor is overloaded, the thyristor is turned off and an alarm signal is issued.

 

 

Phase loss protection:

 

During operation, the soft starter detects the change of the three-phase line current at any time, and can make a phase loss protection response once the current is cut off.

 

Overheat protection: 

 

The temperature of the thyristor radiator is detected by the internal thermal relay of the soft starter. Once the temperature of the radiator exceeds the allowable value, the thyristor is automatically turned off and an alarm signal is issued.

 

Other functions:

 

Through the combination of electronic circuits, various other interlocking protections can also be realized in the system.

How to choose an AC frequency inverter?

Image
The variable frequency drives  is a power control device that converts the power frequency power supply into another frequency by using the on-off function of the power semiconductor device. The correct selection of the frequency converter is very critical to the normal operation of the control system. Usually we need to consider the matching problem with the motor, load type, site environment and so on when we select the inverter. Below we will specifically introduce what factors need to be considered when selecting an inverter. Variable frequency  drives considerations for selecting  1. Determine the purpose of frequency conversion: constant voltage control or constant current control, etc. 2. The load type of the inverter: such as vane pump or positive displacement pump, etc.. Pay special attention to the performance curve of the load, which determines the method of application. 3. Select the inverter according to the actual working current of the motor The actual work...

Learn common inverter harmonic interference phenomena and solutions

Image
       AC drive harmonic control reactive power compensation The  harmonic interference phenomenon of the inverter  includes: after the inverter starts or runs, the motor overheats, whistles (including increased noise, etc.), and vibrates/vibrates. The motor often breaks down, it is found that the stator insulation of the motor is breakdown after disassembling the motor. The connecting wire between the motor and the inverter will overheat, burst, and even catch fire. The instrumentation, sensors, communications, etc. around the motor will have problems such as work disorder. The above-described phenomena are likely to be caused by the harmonics generated in the inverter inversion process, which must be paid great attention by everyone. Variable speed drive harmonic interference phenomenon When you encounter the following problems, if there is no problem with the inspection equipment itself, you should consider it from the perspective of the harmonic interfe...
