Rockwell Automation SMC-50 Soft Starter User Manual
The Rockwell Automation SMC-50 is a microprocessor-based reduced-voltage soft starter designed for standard three-phase squirrel-cage induction or star-delta (6-wire) motors. It utilizes six back-to-back thyristors (SCRs) to provide controlled acceleration, running, and deceleration regulation. The device may include an optional integrated solid-state bypass contactor. This manual is written in Chinese.
