WEG SSW7000 Medium Voltage Soft Starter
The SSW7000 is the complete prepackaged and engineered solution within security and reliability for several applications and industries.
The SSW7000 soft starters operate on the acceleration/deceleration and the protection of medium voltage three-phase induction motors. This Soft Starter is available in 2,3 kV up to 13,8 kV voltage range, built for applications that require 300 HP up to 16300 HP power range.
The SSW7000 application minimises the current surges on the motor, prevents mechanical shocks on the load and the motor, eliminates the water hammer during pump stopping, and protects the electrical motor.
The SSW7000 is the complete prepackaged and engineered solution within security and reliability for several applications and industries.

Benefits
- 6 modes of smooth starting/stopping preprogrammed, considering the technology of the TFTC – “Totally Flexible Torque Control” developed by WEG (which uses the vector control and control of direct torque concepts, based on technologies developed and applied for the vector frequency inverters) providing a linear speed ramp according to the load type applied to the motor;
- User friendly configuration and operation;
- Oriented Startup function presents minimum programming sequence to commence the operation;
- SuperDrive PC software (license-free) for the Soft-Starter SSW7000 programming / operation / monitoring;
- Motor protection built-in in the standard cabinet (eliminating the need of extra protection relays);
- Ground Fault Protection – Standard;
- Input secctioning/protection integrated (line contactor or circuit breaker);
- Heavy duty design up to 50 °C ambient temperature;
- Reduction of power demand during the starting;
- Reduction of inrush current on the power supply during the starting;
- Reduction of mechanical shocks during the starting;
- Reduction of mechanical stress on the load and on the coupling;
- Increase the desing life of the motor, mechanical and electrical systems;
- Standard/customized project under customer requirements following the application characteristics.
