Overview
Eatons S801 line of reduced voltage soft starters is very compact, multifunctional, easy-to-install and easy-to-program. Designed to control acceleration and deceleration of threephase motors, the line is available in current ranges from 12 to 1000 A and is suitable for mounting in motor control centers or in enclosed control (NEMA 1, 4, 4X and 12) applications. This product line is designed to compete head-to-head with the high-end soft starter market, offering improved performance and dramatically smaller size versus the competition. By having the over-load functionality and bypass contactors built into the unit, it reduces the amount of wiring required during installation and offers huge space savings in the panel or enclosure. The product is also designed to be small enough to replace an existing across-the-line starter (NEMA or IEC) in the existing enclosure. This allows customers to upgrade their existing motor control centers and enclosed control by replacing the starter they have today with a soft starter, gaining the benefits of lower utility charges, longer component life and less stress on products and material systems. This size benefit allows users to save the expense of replacing the existing structure or adding a new one to house a much larger soft starter.
