This draws maximum current from the power supply and accelerates the application with its maximum torque. Depending on the application, this can cause different problems. Applications like pumps, conveyers, centrifuges and bandsaws must be started slowly, and sometimes stopped slowly, to prevent mechanical shocks such as water hammer, and strains on bands, couplings and shafts. Principle of Phase Angle Control A soft starter is an electronic device that regulates the voltage to the motor and this provides a smooth transition from standstill to full speed operation of the application. VLT® Soft Starters all use the principle of phase angle control: Back-to-back coupled thyristors ramp up the motor voltage. In some VLT® Soft Starters, current transformers measure the motor current, providing feedback for starting current control but also for numerous motor and application protection functions. VLT® Soft Starters cover a comprehensive range Soft starting and stopping can be controlled in a number of ways depending on the application. Some applications require non-linear voltage ramp-up and the voltage ramp is therefore related to the actual current drawn. Conversely, a bandsaw usually requires a quick stop function provided by a DC brake. Then again, a number of applications require a kick-start torque for an instantaneous period of time followed by a soft ramp-up acceleration. VLT® Soft Starters cover all of these applications and much more.

Current transformers measure motor current and provide feedback for controlled motor ramp profiles. AAC, the Adaptive Acceleration Control automatically employs the best starting and stopping profile for the application. Adaptive Acceleration Control means that for each start and stop, the soft starter compares and adapts the process to the chosen profile best suited to the application. The VLT® Soft Starter MCD 500 has a four-line graphical display and a logic keypad making programming easy. Advanced setup is possible displaying operational status.
