Avoid torque peaks during motor start-up
A flexible torque control provides a practically linear speed ramp during the whole motor starting process, avoiding torque peaks that can otherwise produce abrupt accelerations.
WEG has developed its 'Totally Flexible Torque Control' (TFTC) - for its SSW-06 soft starter TFTC uses the same vector and direct torque control concepts used largely in WEG's variable frequency drives, so offers the advantage of providing a practically linear speed ramp during the entire motor starting process
In this way, the user can avoid those torque peaks that, depending on the type of load, can accelerate the motor abruptly.
TFTC offers the flexibility of selecting the type of torque control according to the type of load applied to the motor; as, for example, constant loads, quadratic loads, or loads with lower or higher initial torques.
