SSW-06 Soft-Starter Power factor correction capacitors should never be fitted to the output of the Soft-Starter SSW-06 (U / 2T1, V / 4T2 and W / 6T3). to the motor ATTENTION! For the protection based on the current reading and indication to work correctly, in case of overload protection, the nominal current of the motor cannot be lower than 30% of the nominal current of the SSW-06 Soft-Starter.
1.50. However, at full voltage (after the start time of the motor) the current relation is 1.73. ATTENTION! Pay attention to the connection of the motor to the SSW-06 Soft-S- tarter, respect the connection diagrams shown in the figures above according to the type of motor windings. If it is necessary to change the motor rotating direction, only invert the SSW-06 Soft-Starter con- nections to the power supply.

For signal and control wire installation, adopt the following procedures: 1) The connections of the SSW-06 digital inputs can be carried out in several ways. They can be supplied by auxiliary internal +24Vdc source by using the 0V as a common point or by the +24Vdc source.
Page 58
1) The auxiliary electronic power supply of the SSW-06 Soft-Starter of +24Vdc shall only be used for the supply of the digital inputs. 2) The SSW-06 Soft-Starter factory default is with the pins 8 and 10 of the X1B connector bridged (wire bridge).
The use of high speed semiconductor fuses are not necessary for the functioning of the SSW-06 Soft-Starter, but its use is recommended for the complete protection of the SSW-06. The transformer “T1” is optional and should be used when the line voltage is different from the electronics and fan voltage;...

(see item 3.2.5.2). In this type of connection, the current that flows through the Soft-Starter SSW-06 is only the current of the inside delta motor connection, in other words, 58% of the nominal motor current. This characteristic changes the relation between the Soft-Starter SSW- 06 nominal currents and those of the motor.
Start by Voltage Ramp The start by Voltage Ramp is the most used starting method. The Soft-Starter SSW-06 applies the voltage to the motor without voltage or current feedback. This method is used for loads with lower initial torque or quadratic torque.
