Allen-Bradley SMC-50 Quick Start

Rockwell Automation Publication 150-QS003E-EN-P - April 2017 3
Preface
About This Publication
This quick start guide provides you with the basic information that is required
to install, start up, and program your SMC™-50 Soft Starter.
The SMC-50 soft starter is a reduced voltage soft starter that uses a state-of-
the-art microprocessor- based control module. By using six back-to-back
silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs) (two per phase), the SMC-50 soft starter
provides controlled acceleration, operation/run, and deceleration of standard
asynchronous induction motors. Power structures are available with an integral
bypass contactor or without (solid-state).
The information that is provided in this quick start guide does not replace the
user manual. The quick start guide assumes that the installer is a qualified
person with previous experience and basic understanding of electrical
terminology, configuration procedures, required equipment, and safety
precautions.
For safety of maintenance personnel and others who might be exposed to
electrical hazards associated with maintenance activities, follow all local
safety-related work practices (such as NFPA70E, Part II in the United States).
Maintenance personnel must be trained in the safety practices, procedures, and
requirements that pertain to their respective job assignments.
