M-MVE Soft Starter

Amps 1 1  < 540A    Volts 1 1  2.3 - 7.2kV

Medium Voltage Starting Essentials

M-MVE Soft Starters are an integrated solution for motor control and protection. Advanced soft start and soft stop functions and an extensive motor and system protection are easily implemented via a user-friendly interface and complete commissioning diagnostics.

Housed in an IEC style enclosure M-MVE starters are compact with a small footprint making them ideal for space constrained installs. Available in both single and lineup configurations.

MVE Soft Starter Features

Medium voltage installations are complex enough without making the starter hard to use as well. MVE is packed with features designed to make your life easier, including real-language feedback messages, so you don't have to look up codes to know what's happening.

Built-in monitoring and indicators, and extensive on-board input and output functionality reduce the need for space and avoid the cost of auxiliary equipment, while simplifying installation. Real-time graphs of motor operating performance and current quickly and clearly illustrate exactly how your motor is performing. No fuss, no trouble - a smoother start in every sense.

The MVE controller features simple, plain language feedback on the soft starter's operation and events - no need for trip code look-ups.

HMI Features
Feature Benefit
Quick Application Setup Easy commissioning
Dual Motor Set Allows for two different starting and stopping motor data sets
Starting and Stopping Options A range of starting methods including current based torque control make the MVE soft starter suitable for all applications
Simulation Mode Fast and easy testing during installation and commissioning without the need for a mains supply or motor
Real-time Performance Graph Real-time graphs of motor performance and current quickly and clearly illustrate how your motor is performing
Diagnostic Tool Recorded waveforms can help diagnose conditions interfering with operation
LV/MV Isolation via IBT Technology AuCom IBT Interface Board Technology isolates the core starter control system and HMI from the MV power section, creating a safer work environment
LV Motor Test Conduct factory testing without the need for a medium voltage motor or supply
Secondary Injection Testing Allows full testing of motor protections via an external system such as Omicron
Complete Motor Protection A wide range of protection features including ground fault protection ensure that your equipment can operate safely even in the most demanding environments
DOL+ Mode Protects your motor even while operating in bypass mode
Advanced Thermal Modelling Intelligent thermal modelling allows the soft starter to dynamically calculate motor temperature and determine whether the motor can start successfully
