Introduction 1.1.2 Operating Mode of the SIRIUS 3RW44 Electronic Soft Starter The 3RW44 soft starter has two antiparallel thyristors in each of the phases. There is one thyristor for the positive and one thyristor for the negative half wave. Using phase angle control and various control methods, the r.m.s. value of the motor voltage is increased from a definable start voltage or start torque to the motor rated voltage within a selectable starting time.

Installation, Connection and Branch Layout 3.2.2 Soft Starters in Standard Circuits The SIRIUS 3RW44 soft starter is connected in the motor branch between the disconnector or circuit breaker and the motor. The 3RW44 soft starter automatically detects the connection type of the soft starter so this does not have to be explicitly set on the device.
Figure 3-4:Name plate of a 22 kW motor The SIRIUS 3RW44 soft starter can be dimensioned to match the current flowing in the motor section (58 % of the conductor current) by connecting it in the delta winding of the motor. This requires at least 6 motor lines.
