Softstarter selection tool and coordination tables
Softstarter selection tool
The selection of a softstarter can be done according to this
catalog. This will work fine in the majority of cases but by using
the softstarter selection tool, a more optimized selection will be
achieved. Especially in extremely heavy duty applications with
several minutes starting time, the use of the selection tool is
recommended.
When using the softstarter selection tool, the selection is done
in 3 steps, which can be seen as 3 different tabs in the program:
1. Input tab – Type in the general data and information
about the motor and about the load. Try to use as
accurate data as possible to get the most accurate
results.
2. Calculation tab – Here it is possible to see how long
the start will be depending on how high the current is.
This tab will indicate which settings should be used
and it might affect the selection.
3. The selection tab – Select which of the suggested
softstarters to use. Here it is also possible to generate
a report about the selection.
The softstarter selection tool can be downloaded from
www.abb.com/lowvoltage by choose Support ”Online Product
Selection Tools”, Online Tools, Softstarters.
Coordination tables
Coordination is a combination of electrical apparatus
which is safe for the surroundings and personnel, even if
an overload or a fault should occur in the system. The ABB
coordination tables are available for different combinations
of products. The softstarter coordination tables are
available with different protection devices (MMS, MCCB and
semiconductor fuses), different coordination types (type 1
and type 2), different kA-ratings and for different connections
(In Line and Inside Delta).
The coordination tables can be found on www.abb.com/
lowvoltage by clicking “Online Product Selection Tools” and
“Coordination Tables for motor protection”.
