Eaton Eaton DS7 Soft Starter 480V ac, 30 kW, 3 Phase, IP20

This soft starter is designed for three-phase applications, optimising motor performance and prolonging equipment life. The device supports a power rating of 30kW, suitable for high-demand scenarios, with a current rating of 55 A and a voltage range from 200 V to 480 V AC. Its Compact dimensions measure 139mm in length, 93mm in width, and 139mm in depth, while adhering to an IP20 rating for protection against solid objects.

• Integrated soft start functionality minimises motor starting currents
• Internal bypass contacts enhance efficiency during operation
• Suppresses transients and DC components for improved motor longevity
• Adjustable ramp time reduces mechanical stress on connected devices
• Suitable for high current applications, ensuring reliability
• Complies with CSA and UL standards for safety assurance

• Utilised for soft starting of three-phase asynchronous motors
• Suitable for industrial automation and machinery control systems
• Effective in requiring smooth acceleration for motor loads
• Ideal for reducing wear and tear in motor-driven equipment
• Provides control in environments with critical load requirements

The soft start function reduces the initial torque applied to the motor, allowing for a gradual acceleration. This minimises mechanical shocks to the system and lowers the Peak starting current, which can help prolong the motor's lifespan while preventing electrical disturbances in the supply network.

This device is rated for a maximum operational altitude of 2000 m. Beyond this, derating occurs at a rate of 1% per additional 100 m, which ensures reliable performance even in elevated conditions, thus maintaining efficiency in various installations.

An IP20 rating indicates protection against solid objects larger than 12.5mm, suitable for environments with minimal dust exposure. This classification ensures the internal components of the soft starter remain secure and function effectively in controlled conditions, contributing to its durability.
