Soft starter energy saving principle

Induction motor is inductive load, the current lags the voltage, most electrical appliances are the same. In order to improve the power factor we need to use capacitive load for compensation, parallel capacitors or with synchronous motor for compensation. Reduce motor excitation current also can improve the power factor (HPS2 saving function, reduce excitation current by reducing voltage at light loads, to increase COS∮). Energy-saving operation mode: decrease voltage in light loads to reduce excitation current, the motor current divides into the active component and reactive component (excitation component), to increased COS∮.

Energy saving operation mode: when the motor load is light, the soft starter working at energy-saving conditions, PF switch to Y position, under the current feedback action, the soft starter reduces the motor voltage automatically, to reduce excitation component of the motor current. Thereby improving the power factor of the motor (COS∮). If the contactor in bypass state, this feature cannot works. TPF switch provides energy saving features with two reaction times: normal speed and slow speed. The soft starter operation in energy saving state automatic (In normal and slow speed), saving 40% energy in no-load and 5% with load.
