WEG SSW06 Quick Start Manual - Soft Starter

SOFT STARTER

ADVANTAGES – A 

Dual Readout Digital Copy 

Keypad

 allows maximum ease of operation by 

providing a high visibility red LED display and a 2-line 

by 16-character alpha-numeric display that virtually 

eliminates the need for an instruction manual during 

set-up and operation. The alpha-numeric readout can 

display in English, Spanish, German or Portuguese. The 

copy keypad function allows the storage of two unique 

sets of User Parameters for easy recall. This can 

also be used to download these parameters to other 

SSW06’s for easy set-up and “cloning” of multiple soft 

starters.

“Oriented Start-Up”

 is a WEG exclusive 

advantage that simplifies the initial start-up of the 

SSW06. The SSW06 asks for operational and motor 

information via the keypad, thereby assuring correct 

operation and the motor overload protection is setup 

accurately.

The

Built-in Bypass Contactor

 will automatically 

put the AC motor “across-the-line” once the SSW06 

has smoothly accelerated the motor up-to-speed. The 

bypass contactor will minimize power losses and heat 

dissipation by removing the SCR’s from the motor 

control and also provide energy savings and a smaller 

overall soft starter package. The user can mount the 

SSW06 inside of a more protective enclosure, NEMA1, 

NEMA3R, NEMA12, NEMA4 and NEMA4X with minimal 

cooling requirements.

Universal Source Voltage

 allows a single unit to 

be used in applications with voltages ranging from 220 

to 575V AC three phase, 50/60Hz. The appropriate soft 

starter would be selected by the full load Amps of the AC 

motor.
