LS Electric SSMe series soft starter – precise motor starting control

This soft starter from the SSMe series is an advanced solution for smooth motor starting, designed for both professional installers and end-users. The device combines a compact design with impressive power, offering precise control and a range of protective functions. Model SSMe-0200B-V5-C1, with a power of 90kW and a rated current of 200A, is perfect for a variety of industrial applications.

Functionality and application

The SSMe soft starter is not only a device for soft starting. The built-in internal bypass and intelligent control cards allow adaptation to specific industry needs. This allows the device to function as a central controller for applications, increasing flexibility and simplifying integration with existing systems. Equipped with an LCD display, the soft starter allows easy configuration and monitoring of operating parameters. Timing functions and work schedules further increase the possibilities of process automation.

The device finds application in a wide spectrum of applications, such as:

• Pumps and fans – reduction of hydraulic and mechanical shocks during starting.
• Compressors – limiting starting currents and mechanical stress.
• Conveyor belts – smooth starting and stopping, minimizing the consumption of transported materials.
• Mixers – precise control of torque during starting and operation.
• Packaging machines – protection of the motor against overloads and damage.

Advantages and characteristic features

The SSMe soft starter stands out with a number of features that translate into benefits for the user:

• High efficiency: thanks to the built-in bypass, the device's efficiency reaches 99.5%, which translates into energy savings.
• Advanced motor protection: protection against overload, current asymmetry, too low or too high voltage, and dry-running pump protection ensure long-term and trouble-free operation of the motor.
• Wide range of supply voltages: the ability to operate in the range of 200–525 VAC (±10%) ensures compatibility with various electrical installations.
• Intuitive operation: LCD display supporting 8 languages facilitates configuration and monitoring of device parameters.
• Communication possibilities: support for Modbus RTU, Profibus, DeviceNet, Modbus TCP, PROFINET and Ethernet/IP protocols enables integration with industrial automation systems.
• Additional functions: Kickstart, DC braking, soft stop and simulation mode increase flexibility and facilitate device diagnostics.
• No harmonic generation: improves the quality of the electrical power supply.

The device meets safety standards (compliance with EU Directive 2014/35/EU and IEC 60947-4-2 Class B) and has a protection degree of IP20 (smaller models) or IP00 (larger models). Operation at a temperature of -10°C to +60°C (taking into account power derating above 40°C) guarantees reliability in harsh industrial conditions.
