The trainer is equipped with an Allen-Bradley SMC-3 smart motor controller, start-stop push-button and two pilot lamps that indicates respectively the supply and electronic controller state. The unit is housed in a full-size totally enclosed portable modular unit. The Soft Starter 60 HZ is used to start asynchronous motors with no current inrush to limit the starting current and provide with speed change. Connections to the unit are made through 4 mm standard color-coded safety terminals. The trainer is protected by a either a diode or thermal-magnetic circuit breaker. This permits the utilization of banana-type jumper leads between the power supply and other components in the circuit. Specifications and/or diagrams are silk-screened on the back of a clear-plastic front panel for ease of identification. Requires a 120/208V 60Hz circuit.
Educational Advantages:
Used in electrical engineering technology teaching when soft motor starter is required.
Pilot lamps indicates respectively the Supply and Ovld/Fault soft starter.
