Select the type of starting control that best adapts to the application.

Voltage Ramp Starting:

This is the most commonly used method. Very easy to program and set.

The Soft-Starter SSW-08 imposes the voltage applied to the motor.

Generally applied to loads with a lower initial torque or a square torque.

This kind of control can be used as an initial working test.

Current Limit Starting:

The maximum current level is maintained during the start, being set according to the application 

necessities.

Generally applied to loads with a higher initial torque or a constant torque.

This kind of control is used to adapt the start to the capacity limits of the supply network.
