DSC/DSCT Series
6.4. CONNECTION WITH SOFT-START CIRCUIT
The DSCT drives till the size of 28A have an incorporated device that limits the insertion current. That kind of
device is constituted from a resistor applied after the bridge rectifier and before the capacitors, and from a
relay that short-closes when the capacitors have been completely charged from the network voltage.
For the sizes DSCT-37 and DSCT-47 it’s provided only the relay whose contact (terminals IC) closes when
the capacitors have been charged and the drive is ready to run. That contact must be used together with a
contactor and with three resistors to limit the insertion current; the contact is adaptable to open a voltage of
250Vac with a power of 2.5KVA.
