A
motor soft starter should be used if you are looking to reduce the stress on your motor and shaft during startup.
Basically a motor soft starter temporarily reduces the load and torque of the motor during the startup.
Applications that would benefit from the use of motor soft starters:
- Conveyors - are you looking for a smooth start? A soft starter can avoid jerking
- Pumps - avoid pressure surges
- Any application using belt drives would see a reduction in belt slipping
Are you looking for even more control of the motor? Our full line of variable speed AC drives can do the job. Learn more about
variable frequency drives from this blog.
Confused? Our in-house engineers can help you decide if a motor soft starter or variable speed AC drive can help you in your application!
The AC Tech Lenze SMVector provides everything you need in a wide range of applications.
This high performance AC drive offers four modes of operation:

The TECO N3 series now has BACnet Communications included as a standard feature.
BACnet can be selected via parameter configuration. Then, with optional SIF-485 connector module, the
TECO N3 drive will communicate on a BACnet network.
This gives you an excellent solution compared to other available methods of communications, including Gateway modules or 3rd party communication cards.
Gateways have typically been separate cards or mounted devices that are 'translators' from another protocol (Modbus for example) to BACnet. The
TECO N3 model can eliminate this added step.
What is BACnet? It is a communication protocol that experienced significant growth in the past few years. BACnet is designed for Building Management Systems which include HVAC but includes other applications as well. These include energy management solutions, lighting, fire prevention and security access.

Marshall Wolf Automation is the place to go for single phase variable frequency drives!
We are authorized stocking distributors for all the top names including AC Tech Lenze, Hitachi VFD"s, Delta, Fuji Electric and TECO Westinghouse drives.
The use of speed control with single-phase induction motors is popular because it not only provides variable speed but also reduces energy consumption and noise.
As you have probably already realized 3 phase input/output AC drives are easy to come by...
single phase input/3 phase output can be a little bit more difficult.
If you would like to speak to engineer about your single phase VFD application just give us a call at 800-325-9653 or shoot us an email - sales@wolfautomation.com.

Why you should take a look at the Hitachi WJ200
variable frequency drive:
- B
uilt-in PLC - Encoder input (pulse input) for position control
- Runs permanent magnet or induction motors
- 200% plus starting torque
- ISO13849 rated safe stop circuit
- Even better - you get all of these features for the price of a standard variable frequency drive!
Simple Positioning Control
The built-in PLC and encoder input (pulse input) give you simple positioning control.
This is a huge advantage over the Mitsubishi D700 which does not offer a built-in PLC. One more thing... they only offer 5 digital inputs, our Hitachi WJ200 high performance AC drives has 7!
One Inverter For Two Types of Motors
The Hitachi WJ200 variable frequency drive can drive both induction (IM) motors and permanent (PM) magnet motors. For more information on this feature please contact one of our in-house engineers through sales@wolfautomation.com.
Are You Exporting?
If you are exporting to Europe you will love the ISO13849 compliant safe stop circuit! This is a great feature that the Allen Bradley PowerFlex 4 does not offer!
This also allows you to eliminate the contactor for e-stop functions.

I received my
WEG newsletter this morning and thought their service tip was worth sharing:
'Alternating-current (AC) and direct-current (DC) motors have traditionally served distinctly different application due to their construction and inherent operating characteristics.
In general, AC motors were smaller, less expensive, lighter and more rugged than DC motors. DC motors, on the other hand, operated better in variable-speed application, particularly those requiring wide speed ranges, and provided more precise speed control.
DC motors have been the workhorse of industry in many applications where variable-speed operation is needed. In these applications DC motors are reliable and provide precise speed control under variable operating conditions.
The downside is DC motors are expensive to purchase and to maintain. In addition, over the past 10 years, AC drives have improved to the point where their speed control is far more precise, rivaling that of servo drives. What's more, the AC motor and drive together often cost about the same price as the DC motor alone.
The development of modern AC motors and drives is blurring the distinctions that once governed the choice between AC and DC drives. The result is that lower-cost, more-reliable AC drives are moving into application once reserved for DC drives.'

We had a meeting with our
Hitachi variable frequency drive reps this week and learned a bit more about the popular Hitachi WJ200 high performance AC drive line.
A great feature the
WJ200 Hitachi VFD offers is a built-in safe stop circuit feature.
Basically what this means is if you are using an e-stop you can eliminate the contactor!Another benefit of the safe stop circuit is you will only lose output to the estop, not the communication to the PLC.
Did I mention the 10 year warranty on the fan and capacitors?
