Overview: The HSCD-100-SS soft starter is designed to start the chain disk drive motor at a slower rate in order to reduce the mechanical impact on the system upon start-up. With longer systems, the impact of starting the system almost instantaneously results in severe force placed on the chain, corners and drive system until the system is up to speed. The HSCD-100-SS reduces the start-up current of the drive motor and ramps the motor up to full speed over a period of 3 seconds reducing the sudden impact on the system. Once the system has been started for 5 seconds, the soft start circuit is bypassed allowing the motor to run at normal full speed. Any time the chain disk drive motor is started, the soft start circuitry will be active. The HSCD-100-SS unit is electrically placed in between the output of the HSCD-100 chain disk controller contactor and the chain disk drive motor. The HSCD-100-SS enclosure is rated NEMA 4X so it is fully protected from the environment. Specifications: Input: 220 - 240VAC 1Ø , 50/60 Hz. Output: Maximum 10 AMPS Continuous Duty.
