NEW Series EMC48S50-01
Three-Phase Induction Motor Softstarter
200–480 Vac, 2.2kW (Y), 3.8kW (D)
INDUCTION MOTOR SOLID-STATE REDUCED VOLTAGE STARTER
(SOFTSTARTER) WITH SOFTSTOP FEATURE
The Series EMC can be used as an alternative to costly and relatively big variable
speed controllers in applications such as pumps, fans, compressors and
conveyors.
Its six-thyristor structure, working like a full-wave phase angle controller (both
positive and negative cycles are controlled), reduces the induction motor starting
current as well as the motor starting torque. The reduction in motor starting
current improves the efficiency of the power used. It also avoids voltage
fluctuations that lead to ambient light variations or “flicker.”
The Series EMC fits existing applications without any modification of the wiring
field configuration. Thus it can replace an electromechanical star-delta starter
without changing the motor coupling. The EMC may be implemented like a
standard three-phase electromechanical contactor for induction motors.
Furthermore, its ability to be installed inside the delta wiring allows the Series
EMC to drive 1.73 times more current than a standard on line softstarter.
The Series EMC features diagnostic and self-test functions to assist with machine
maintenance, reduce costs, and delays of restarting equipment.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE DIAGNOSTIC
1. The device makes a complete diagnostic (mains, load and itself) since it has enough supply voltage (On the mains or on the control side).
2. The device only checks the presence of the phases and the closing of the solid-state switches during the voltage ramps (softstart and softstop)
and during the full on-state period.
3. The control overrides the diagnostic.
• If a problem occurs during the control period, the device will close all the solid-state switches. If the problem goes on during the full
on-state period, the corresponding information will be given to the user according to the table above.
• Likewise, if a problem occurs during the softstopping period, the device will stop immediately in order to reach the off-state diagnostic
period.
4. On a hard stop (no softstop) and in the case of driving a large motor, the device may temporarily display a problem concerning the mains. This
is due to an important residual voltage across the motor windings (back EMF generated by the motor rotation and the remaining magnetic field).
This security allows the user to avoid connecting the motor to the mains in bad conditions. This phenomenon can be cancelled by using the
softstop feature that slowly reduces the remaining magnetic field inside the motor. This also avoids overvoltage across the solid-state switches
(increasing the lifetime expectancy of the integrated varistors). Therefore, softstop is recommended even with high inertia motor loads.
