Main Body

 

  • The RNMV-EI is a solid-state medium voltage starter designed for three-phase induction motors. It manages motor acceleration, deceleration, and protection by regulating voltage through thyristor firing angle control. This enables smooth motor starts and stops, significantly reducing power supply inrush currents and minimizing mechanical stress on driven equipment and couplings. Consequently, the system mitigates electrical grid disturbances and safeguards mechanical components from shock loads.
  • Medium voltage systems bring inherent complexity-your starter shouldn't add more. RENLE's RNMV-EI medium voltage soft starter simplifies operation with intuitive features like plain-text diagnostics, eliminating cryptic code lookups. Integrated monitoring, status indicators, and comprehensive I/O minimize spatial demands and auxiliary costs while streamlining deployment. Live motor performance curves and current displays provide instant clarity on operational status. Experience effortless control: The RNMV-EI delivers clear operational feedback in everyday language, ensuring straightforward starts without decoding manuals.

Medium Voltage Starter Functions

 

● Strong load adaptability with 2 start-up control modes:

① Constant current mode: The motor's starting current is limited to 100–500% of its rated value.

② Voltage ramp mode: The control angle causes the output voltage to increase linearly to the rated voltage.

● Either free stop or soft stop can be selected, suitable for different stopping conditions and meets specific needs - for example, eliminating the water hammer effect in water pumps.
