Introduction
SMC-50 This Quick Start guide provides you with the basic information required to
install, start up, and program your SMC™-50 Soft Starter.
The SMC-50 is a reduced voltage soft starter that utilizes a state-of-the-art
microprocessor- based control module and solid-state (without an integral bypass
contactor) power structure. Using six back-to-back SCRs (two per phase), the
SMC-50 provides controlled acceleration, operation/run, and deceleration of
standard asynchronous induction motors.
The information provided in this Quick Start guide does not replace the user
manual, which can be ordered or downloaded by visiting www.ab.com/literature.
The Quick Start guide assumes the installer is a qualified person with previous
experience and basic understanding of electrical terminology, configuration
procedures, required equipment, and safety precautions.
For safety of maintenance personnel as well as others who might be exposed to
electrical hazards associated with maintenance activities, follow all local safety
related work practices (e.g., NFPA 70E, Part II in the United States).
Maintenance personnel must be trained in the safety practices, procedures, and
requirements that pertain to their respective job assignments.
