Mechanical
¨ Reduced costs of transmission components
- Low starting torque
- Starting torque adjustable to requirement
¨ Reduced maintenance costs
- Low starting torque reduces belt slip
¨ Lower repair costs
- Fatigue effects reduced
(Star/delta, transformer and single-phase starting
cause high torque peaks)
¨ Machine protection
- Electronic overload trip (with OPTION I1)
Electrical
¨ Low starting current
- Advantageous compared with star/delta
¨ Low maintenance costs
- Low-loading of contactor contacts with
zero-current switching
¨ Only two voltage ranges
- 3AC 110...500 ±10 % V - 3AC 220...690 ±10 % V
