ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
FOR THE SOFT-START OF
ELECTRIC MOTORS

In view of the evolution of processes and machines, it has become increasingly clear the need to use
resources that allow driving motors in a smooth and controlled way. Using cutting-edge technology,
WEG soft-starters have been designed to ensure the best performance for each kind of
application, offering resources that enable to start and stop three-phase induction motors
in a simple and efficient way, protecting the motor and the load from torque shocks (jolts) by means of
gradual acceleration up to the rated speed.

WEG soft-starters are the ideal solutions with excellent cost-benefit for starting and stopping
three-phase induction motors in applications requiring speed and torque control during the start.

The SSW takes the output voltage instantaneously to zero, The SSW, by controlling the variation of the firing angle of the

Current Limitation
Used in most cases where the load has a high inertia, this
function causes the grid/SSW system to feed the motor with
the current just necessary to perform the load acceleration.

choice for the full motor start, stop and protection control. Developed
for industrial or professional use, the new line of soft-starters allows
simple and quick access to information on the application and
configuration settings.
Using a menu structure, the new interface of the SSW900 line presents an unprecedented experience of
interactivity with the user, allowing settings and configurations with online parameter help right on the HMI, in
addition to event logs with date and time and setup wizard.
The equipment also has built-in bypass, which contributes to extending the lifespan of the drive, optimizing
space and reducing heat dissipation in electric panels.
