Carlo Gavazzi’s RSGD Series Provides an Innovative Soft Starting for
Squirrel Cage Induction Motors
arlo Gavazzi has launched the RSGD series of compact general purpose soft starters complete with monitoring, protection and self-learning features all in a compact 45mm housing and is suited to fixed speed motors up to 45Amp (22kW). During the starting of an induction motor, current levels may reach values of 5 to 8 times the rated motor current. Following the Energy using Products (EuP) directive, in recent years higher efficiency motors have been introduced onto the market. Starting such motors via contactors may result in currents as high as 15 times the rated motor current, increasing the occurrence of electrical and mechanical disturbances. The RSGD (2-phase controlled) soft starter series reduces the starting current down to 3 – 4 times the rated motor current, resulting in smoother starting and stopping of motors, thereby increasing the lifetime of the motor and reduces the electrical disturbances on the supply network.
