4 2.3 SOLID-STATE REDUCED VOLTAGE MOTOR STARTERS (SOFT STARTERS) A. Soft Starters: ANSI/UL Standard 508. Used with NEMA Design B, AC induction motors to reduce in-rush current and mechanical shocks associated with starting and stopping motors. B. Operation: The soft starter shall utilize a thyristor (SCR) bridge to control the starting and stopping of the motor. A microprocessor shall monitor the current and control the phasing of the SCRs. The soft starter shall provide torque control for linear acceleration without external feedback independent of motor load or motor application. C. Torque ramp: Adjustable (by keypad) from 1 to 60 seconds. D. Shorting Contactor: A shorting contactor shall be supplied with all soft starters rated above 40 amps. The shorting contactor shall close after the current is below 130% of motor full-load amps at the nominal voltage. The shorting contactor shall open on a stop command to allow a deceleration ramp, if applicable. E. Status & Diagnostics: Door-mounted keypad for display of soft starter, motor, and fault statuses.
