Page 14: Principle Of Operation Of The 3Rw44 Electronic Soft Starter
2.1.2 Principle of operation of the 3RW44 electronic soft starter The 3RW44 soft starter features two antiparallel thyristors in each of the phases. There is one thyristor for the positive and one thyristor for the negative half-wave. The rms value of the motor voltage is increased (from an adjustable starting voltage or starting torque) to the rated motor voltage within a definable starting time by means of the leading-edge phase.
Page 15 The diagrams below show the starting current and torque characteristics for a three-phase asynchronous motor in combination with a soft starter: Figure 2-3 Reduced current characteristic of a three-phase asynchronous motor during startup with a SIRIUS 3RW44 soft starter 3RW44 soft starters Manual, 03/2017, NEB535219502000/RS-AB/008...
Page 16 2.1 Basic physical principles of the three-phase asynchronous motor and operating principle of the soft starter Figure 2-4 Reduced torque characteristic of a three-phase asynchronous motor during startup with a SIRIUS 3RW44 soft starter Startup This means that, since the motor voltage is controlled by the electronic soft starter during the startup process, the consumed starting current and the starting torque generated in the motor are also controlled.
Page 17: Application And Use
Phase angle control and schematic diagram of a soft starter with internal bypass contacts Application and use Applications and selection criteria 3RW44 soft starters can be used as an alternative to star-delta (wye-delta) starters and frequency converters. Their main benefits are their ability to perform soft starting, soft stops, and uninterrupted changeover without current peaks that put a strain on the system, as well as their compact dimensions.

Startup modes Different starting functions can be selected thanks to the large number of applications for which the SIRIUS 3RW44 soft starter can be used.

(set the breakaway pulse only when it is really required. In the case of pumps, for example, a breakaway pulse often leads to misfiring.) If there is an idle time < 5 s since the last start, the 3RW44 starts with a higher starting voltage. In combination with a set breakaway pulse, this can lead to "incorrect starting conditions".
