22 S811+ Soft Starter MN03900001E—November 2012
24 Vdc Control Power Requirements
The S811+ Soft Starter requires 24 Vdc control power. The 
sealed in and inrush characteristics of the S811+ Soft Starter 
are summarized in the table below: 
Control Power Requirements 
For applications where one starter is used with one power 
supply, the power supply selected must be equal to or 
greater than both the sealed in and inrush requirements of 
the starters. 
●
Max Steady State for the power supply ≥ Sealed In Power 
of the Starter 
●
Outrush for the power supply ≥ Inrush Power of the Starter
Multiple starters can be used with one power supply. If the 
application requires the starters to start at the same time, the 
power supply must be sized for the sum of the sealed in and 
inrush power for each starter. 
●
Max Steady State for the power supply ≥ Sum of the 
Sealed In Power of all the Starters 
●
Outrush for the power supply ≥ Sum of the Inrush Power 
of all the Starters 
Formulas to calculate control power requirements are as 
follows: 
●
Definitions:
SI = Sum of Seal Incurrent
LS = Largest Seal Incurrent
LI = Largest Inrush Needed
TS = Total Seal Incurrent Needed
LO = Largest Outrush Needed
●
TS = (SI –LS)
LO = TS +LI
●
Max Steady State for the power supply ≥ SI 
●
Outrush for the power supply ≥ LO 
The voltage on the S811+ Control Power Supply and Control 
Input terminals must be 24 Vdc ±10% to provide proper 
operation of the soft starter.
