DS7 Soft starter 09/16 MN03901001Z-EN www.eaton.com 25
1.13 Selection criteria
The soft starter DS7 ③ is selected on the basis of the supply voltage U
LN
of
the supply network
① and the rated operational current of the assigned
motor
②. The circuit type (Δ / ) of the motor must be selected according to
the supply voltage ①. The rated output current I
e
of the soft starter must be
greater than/equal to the rated motor current.
Figure 9: Selection criteria
When selecting the drive, the following criteria must be taken into account:
• Type of motor (e.g.three-phase asynchronous motor)
• Mains voltage = rated operating voltage of the motor (e.g. 3 AC ~ 400 V),
• Rated motor current (recommended value, dependent on the circuit type
and the power supply),
• Load torque (quadratic, linear),
• Starting torque,
• Ambient air temperature (rated value +40 °C).
￫
With heavy starting duty motors, the soft starter must be
overdimensioned in terms of its overload capacity.
￫
In the case of single-phase AC motors (￫ page 20), the
selection must be based on the mains voltage (= the motor’s
rated operating voltage) and the rated motor current for the
specific line frequency.
