Softstarter LS Electric series SSMe SSMe-0352B-V5-C1 SSME-0352B-V5-C1

Softstarter LS Electric SSMe series – precise motor start control

This softstarter from the SSMe series is an advanced solution for smooth starting and stopping of electric motors. The device combines a compact design with impressive power, offering precise control and a range of protective functions. Model SSMe-0352B-V5-C1, with a rated current of 352A and a power of 160kW, is perfect for demanding industrial applications.

Design and functionality

The SSMe softstarter features a built-in internal bypass, which minimizes energy losses and ensures high efficiency – up to 99.5%. It is equipped with a clear LCD display, making configuration and monitoring of operating parameters easier. Additionally, it offers built-in timing functions and work schedules, allowing for process automation without the need for additional control systems. Thanks to a wide range of supply voltages (200–525 VAC) and control voltages (110-120 VAC or 220-240 VAC), the device is extremely flexible and easily integrates with various installations.

Protection and communication

The SSMe softstarter provides comprehensive protection for the motor against overload, current asymmetry, too low or too high voltage, and pump dry running. It has a short-circuit capacity protected by semiconductor fuses type 2. Advanced communication options (Modbus RTU, Profibus, DeviceNet, Modbus TCP, PROFINET and Ethernet/IP) enable integration with industrial automation systems and remote monitoring of device operation. The Power Through function ensures continuity of operation in emergency situations.
