On their own, soft starters cannot run motors in reverse direction
at full speed. However, an arrangement of forward and reverse
contactors can be used to provide the same effect.
MCD 500 soft starters offer a part speed function that runs the
motor at slow speed in either forward or reverse direction, without
a reversing contactor. Reverse operation is limited to short periods
at a fixed slow speed.
Reversing: Can soft starters be used
to reverse motor direction?
Jog runs the motor at reduced speed, to allow alignment of the
load or to assist servicing. The motor can be jogged in either
forward or reverse direction. The maximum available torque
for jog is approximately 50% - 75% of motor full load torque
(FLT) depending on the motor. Available jog torque in reverse is
approximately 50% - 75% of the jog torque in forward direction.
This is ideal for positioning of loads such as mixers or hopper bins
ready for unloading.
Jog: What is the jog function?
