S801+T18N3S

The S801+T18N3S soft starter is a 180 Amps rated electronic starter from the Eaton Corporation S801 series. The starter comes with a Control Interface Module (CIM) for configuration and troubleshooting. Numerous protection options and ramp/current limit start profiles can be selected on the CIM. S801 series soft starters can work with 3-phase motors which are rated at fractional Horsepower or with those that require up to 1000 Amps of steady-state current. There are numerous benefits associated with the use of soft starters such as those from the S801 series such as 24 Volts DC control voltage for enhanced equipment and user safety, the elimination of the water-hammer effect in pump applications, the reduction in the inrush current which leads to a power grid that is stable with reduced peak power demand, and a reduction in wear on gears and chains.

The S801+T18N3S soft starter is a T-frame starter which measures 6.47 x 7.65 x 12.71 inches (height x width x depth) and it weighs approximately 18.6 kilograms. The environmental specifications for the S801+T18N3S soft starter are a storage temperature range of -58 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit, a working temperature range of -40 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit, an acceptable maximum pollution degree of 3 according to the IEC 60947-1 standards and a maximum operation elevation of up to 6600 feet. If the starter is installed at an altitude above 6600 feet, the device’s output will derate and the rate of output derating will be 0.5% for every 330 feet of increase in the elevation. The standard-duty ratings for the S801+T18N3S soft starter at 60 Hertz are 60 Horsepower at 200 Volts AC, 60 Horsepower at 230 Volts AC, 150 Horsepower at 460 Volts AC, and 150 Horsepower at 575 Volts AC.
