Table 3.7 - Short circuit capacity – UL High Fault
Ultra-fast fuses (aR), regular fuses or circuit breakers:
For Coordination Type 1, regular fuses or circuit breakers can be
used, according to IEC 60947-4-2, which will protect the installation
against short circuits, however, the SCRs will not be protected.
Circuit breakers of the table 3.6 and table 3.7.
For Coordination Type 2, the fuses to be used in the input must be
for protection of semiconductors, ultra-fast type (aR), according
to IEC 60947-4-2. They reduce the risk of the SCRs to burn out
because of overcurrent transients.
Ultra-fast fuses (aR), with l²t smaller than or equal to 75 % of the
value of the SCR indicated (A²s) in table 3.8.
NOTE!
The maximum I²t of the fuse of the SSWs varies according to the
design of the SCR used; therefore, higher rated currents may
present lower I²t.
English
3.2.4.3 Control
Fuse
The fuse rated current should preferably be equal to or higher than
the motor starting current in order to prevent cyclic overloads and
the tripping of the fuse in the prohibited area of the Time x Current
curve.
The proper sizing of the fuse should take into account: the local
standards for electrical installations, the starting cycle, number
of starts per hour, starting current and starting time, ambient
temperature and altitude.
For the correct sizing of the fuses, see WEG Fuse Catalog:
www.weg.net

Flush End and Diametral.
Annex 1: Sizing Criteria for Ultra-Fast Fuses aR Blade Contact and
Flush End.
Annex 2: Table for aR Fuse Sizing to Protect SSW Soft-Starters
and CFW Inverters.
For the electronic supply protection of the SSW-07 must be used
fuse type D, or circuit breaker type C:
Fuse 2 A Type D or Circuit breakers 2 A Type C.

DANGER!
Power factor correction capacitors must never be installed at the
output of the Soft-Starter SSW-07. (U / 2T1, V / 4T2 and W / 6T3).
English
ATTENTION!
To ensure that the protections based on the current reading and
display operate correctly, for example the overload, the motor
nominal current must not be lower than 50 % of the nominal SoftStarter SSW-07 current.
NOTE!
Use the wire sizes and fuses recommended in tables 3.5, 3.6 and
3.7. The connector tightening torque is indicated in table 3.4. Use
only copper wires.
NOTE!
The Soft-Starter SSW-07 is provided with electronic protection
against motor overload. This protection must be set according to
the specic motor. When several motors are connected to the same
Soft-Starter SSW-07 use individual overload relays for each motor.
Line current of the Soft-Starter SSW-07 is equal to the motor current.

DANGER!
The Soft-Starter must be grounded for safety purposes (PE).
The ground connection must comply with the local regulations. Make
the ground connection to a grounding bar or to the general grounding
point (resistance ≤10 ohms).
English
DANGER!
The AC input for the Soft-Starter SSW-07 must have a ground
connection.
DANGER!
Do not use the neutral conductor for grounding purpose. Use
dedicated ground conductor.
ATTENTION!
Do not share the ground wiring with other equipment that operate with
high current (for examples: high voltage motors, welding machines,
etc.). When several Soft-Starters SSW-07 are used, observe the
connections in the gure 3.8.

CHAPTER 3 - INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
EMI - Electronic Interference
The Soft-Starter SSW-07 is developed to be used in industrial
systems (Class A) according to Standard EN60947-4-2.
It’s necessary to have a distance of 0.25 m (10 in) between the
Soft- Starter SSW-07 control cables and motor cables.
Example: PLC wiring, temperature controllers, thermocouple cables, etc.
Grounding of the Motor frame
Always ground the motor frame. The Soft-Starter SSW-07 output
wiring to the motor must be installed separately from the input wiring
as well as from the control and signal wiring.

CHAPTER 3 - INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
3.3 RECOMMENDED
SET-UPS
Some recommended set-ups are shown here and they can be
completely or partly used.
The main warning notes for all the recommended set-ups are
shown below and are described in the schemes by their respective
numbers.
NOTES!
The use of fuses or circuit breakers at the input circuit is
1
necessary for the entire installation protection. It is not necessary
to use ultra-fast fuses for the SSW-07 operation; however, their
use is recommended for the soft-starter complete protection.
The transformer “T1” is optional and must be used when there
2
is a dierence between the line voltage and the electronic power
voltage.
In case that damage at the SSW-07 Soft-Starter power circuit
3
keeps the motor running (e.g., shorted thyristors), the motor
protection is obtained with the use of the power isolating
contactor (K1) or circuit breaker (Q1).
English
Start push-button.
4
Stop push-button.
5
Start/Stop switch. Bear in mind that when using two-wire digital
6
input command (normally open switch with retention), in case
of a power interruption, upon return of power, the motor will be
started immediately if the switch remains closed.
In case of maintenance of the Soft-Starter SSW-07 or the motor
7
it is necessary to remove the input fuses or disconnect the power
supply to ensure the complete equipment disconnection from
the power supply.
The emergency stop can be used by disconnecting the
8
electronics power supply.
