Smooth start for vibration-free control technology

05-Dec-2011

Eaton's Electrical Sector has increased its DS7 soft starter range, which is vibration free with smooth starts, to include versions with ratings of up to 200A.

All Eaton DS7 soft starters incorporate the firm's patented asymmetrical trigger control technology, which eliminates the direct current components in the motor current that are produced by conventional two-phase controlled soft starters. This means the motor starts more smoothly and with less vibration, minimising start-up times. The performance of DS7 soft starters is therefore fully comparable to that of bulkier and more costly three-phase controlled soft starters.

Eaton's DS7 soft starters are an alternative to conventional star-delta starters in a wide range of applications, such as pumps, where their ability to eliminate water hammer reduces wear on the whole installation; fans, where they reduce wear on drive systems; and conveyors, where smooth starting and vibration-free operation minimises equipment wear and the risk of product damage.
