3.3kV Soft Starter

Medium-voltage motors 3.3kV Soft Starter are critical equipment in industrial settings. As pre-stage drivers for motors, medium-voltage soft starters are not merely starting devices but also important data sources for motor IoT. Industrial IoT, empowered by 5G, builds on the company’s years of technical expertise and leverages fiber optic multiplexing technology to achieve full digitalization of medium-voltage components. The system comes standard with industrial Ethernet and multiple communication interfaces and incorporates a newly developed intelligent soft starter. Using industrial Ethernet, it enables remote data analysis, software updates, debugging, and virtual oscilloscope monitoring, among other digital technologies.

Product Function

 

  •  The 3.3kV Soft Starter uses a series connection of controlled silicon valve groups with dual-power-supply triggering technology.
  •  Drive and data acquisition are implemented via fiber optic communication multiplexing technology.
  •  Touchscreen human-machine interface (HMI) allows real-time system monitoring, data collection from valve groups (RC average voltage, RC peak voltage, etc.), and modification or configuration of system control parameters.
  •  Equipped with OBD and software-based dual overvoltage protection functions.
  •  Valve group limit data are collected after each startup to assess system condition.
  •  Synchronous use of phase-locked loop (PLL) and three-phase conduction compensation control algorithms.
  •  Protection functions include under-voltage, phase loss, overcurrent, overheating, thyristor overvoltage, trigger failure, voltage imbalance, RC current abnormality, thyristor failure, fiber optic communication interruption, and trigger power supply abnormality; any abnormal condition prevents startup.* Supports Modbus RTU, PROFIBUS-DP, CAN, and TCP/IP communication protocols with corresponding interface configuration.
  •  Enables remote software updates, debugging, waveform monitoring, and fault analysis via the Internet.
  •  Connects to cloud servers via industrial Ethernet and 5G to provide data for big data analysis and AI algorithms, fully leveraging cloud computing to perform online analysis and diagnosis of motor operating status, fault warnings, and optimized control.

 

Soft Start Function

 

Strong Load Adaptability with Three Start Control Modes:

1. Constant Current Start:** During startup, the current quickly rises to the specified value and maintains it until the motor reaches full speed.

2. Current Ramp Start:** The current increases gradually to the maximum starting current until the motor reaches full speed.

3. Pulse-Choke Start:** Designed primarily for heavy-duty loads.

Optional Free-Stop or Soft-Stop Function:** Suitable for various applications, such as preventing water hammer in pumps, to meet specific operational requirements.

 

3.3 KV Soft Starter Technical Features

 

  •  Medium-voltage series thyristor valve groups designed to handle high voltage.
  •  Fiber-optic isolated triggering ensures safe and reliable control.
  •  Advanced voltage balancing and protection technologies safeguard device security.
  •  Effective cooling (air or water) manages high power losses.
  •  High-performance controller enables precise phase control and multiple start/stop strategies.
  •  Comprehensive protection functions cover the motor, the soft starter, and the grid.
  •  Modular, high-insulation structure suitable for high-voltage environments.
  •  Bypass operation reduces operational losses.
  •  Powerful monitoring and communication capabilities facilitate integration and management.

These features enable 3.3kV Soft Starter to address issues associated with direct-on-line starting of high-voltage, high-power motors-such as mechanical shock, grid voltage sags, and electrical stress-ensuring smooth, controllable, and reliable starting and stopping. When selecting a soft starter, specific motor parameters (power, rated current), load characteristics (fan, pump, compressor, conveyor, etc.), grid conditions, and application requirements (e.g., starting torque, start time limitations) must be considered to determine the most suitable model and control mode.

System Composition

Each thyristor series valve group includes: thyristor, driving board, power supply and optical fiber board, and voltage sharing RC;

Thyristor: The main power device, with specifications determined by the device current and system voltage.

Driving Board: Conveys control commands from the main control board to switch the thyristors on and off.

Power Supply and Fiber Optic Board: Receives instructions from the main control board to provide driving power and control signals to the driving board, and returns data collected by the driving board to the main control board.

Voltage-Sharing RC: Balances the voltage distribution across the thyristors in the series valve group and accelerates thyristor turn-off.
