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.

Main Functions
Kick Start Reduction of the Water Hammer
Ideal for applications where the loads require an extra effort Using an SSW to for stopping the motor softly (pump control)
from the drive at the moment of the start due to the high reduces the chances of Water Hammer.
resistant torque, being necessary feed the motor with a
higher voltage than that set in the acceleration voltage ramp.
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.
Note: for more details, refer to the catalog or user’s manual of each SSW, available on our website: www.weg.net.

SSW05
The SSW05 is WEG’s most compact solid state starter with control of two motor
phases, built-in bypass and all the protections for the electric motor. Featuring DSP
control (Digital Signal Processor), the SSW05 is designed for optimal performance
in motor start and stop, with excellent cost-effectiveness. In addition, they are easily
set, simplifying the start-up activities and daily operations. Their compact
dimensions contribute to the optimization of spaces in electrical panels.

SSW900
Combining convenience and innovation, the SSW900 is the right
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.
