Softstarter BA 9010 The BA 9010 and BN 9011 are electronic devices designed to enable 1-phase or 3-phase induction motors to start smoothly. BA 9010 / BN 9011 slowly ramps up the current on one phase, therefore allowing the motor torque to build up slowly. This reduces the mechanical stress on the machine and prevents damage to conveyed material. When the motor is up to full speed the semiconductors in BA 9010 / BN 9011 are bridged to prevent internal power losses an heat build up. Advantages . Increases the life of squirrel cage motors and mechanical drives . Easily fitted to existing installations . No neutral conductor required . For snapping onto 35 mm standard top-hat rail . For simple applications, the f/U converter can often be dispensed with . Semiconductors bridged after softstart Features . According to IEC/EN 60947-4-2 . For motors up to 5.5 kW (BA 9010) and to 11 kW (BN 9011) . 1 phase control . Adjustable ramp time and starting torque. Can be combined with motor brake units . LED indication .
