Soft starting with torque control
Operating principle
Torque control means that the torque generated in the motor is linearly increased from a
parameterizable starting torque up to a parameterizable end torque within an adjustable
starting time.
The advantage over a voltage ramp is the improved mechanical run-up behavior of the
machine. The soft starter controls the torque generated on the motor continuously and
linearly according to the set parameters until the motor has completed its run-up.
For optimum torque control during the starting procedure, enter the motor data of the motor
connected to the soft starter in the selected parameter set.
● Uniform, load-mitigating ramp-up
● Machines that require a breakaway pulse, e.g. mills, crushers and drives with journal
bearings.
