The Solcon SOLSTART 17 400-S is a compact analogue soft starter rated 17 A full-load current, labelled for 400 V, 50/60 Hz three-phase mains. It limits inrush current and mechanical shock when starting a squirrel-cage induction motor and can also ramp the motor down gently. Start and stop come from a dry (voltage-free) contact. For 230 V supplies the matching model is the SOLSTART 17 230-S.

Which motors can the SOLSTART 17 400-S start?

Three-phase, three-wire squirrel-cage induction motors whose nameplate full-load current is 17 A or less, on a 400 V supply. Solcon rates the starter for 3.5 times rated current for 5 seconds at 40 °C and up to 4 starts per hour at full rating; very frequent starting has to be sized separately.

How is it set up?

Three front dials set the initial voltage (10 to 80 %), ramp-up time (0.5 to 5 s) and ramp-down time (0.5 to 5 s). Solcon's start-up procedure begins at about 40 % initial voltage and 3 s ramp-up, then adjusts until the motor turns right after the start signal. On, Ramp and Run LEDs show the state, and built-in bypass relays carry the current once the ramp is complete.

What condition is this unit in?

Used. The photos show the blue front panel with its three dials and LEDs, the terminal row marked A1, A2, L1, L2, L3, U/T1, V/T2 and W/T3, and the maker's label reading SOLSTART 17 400-S, STARTER FLC 17A, MAINS VOLTAGE 400V 50/60 Hz, CONTROL DRY CONTACT, with a CE mark.

Questions about this part

Is the SOLSTART 17 400-S suitable for a 230 V supply?

No. This unit is labelled for 400 V mains. The 230 V version is the SOLSTART 17 230-S.

What is the maximum motor current?

17 A full-load current, as shown on the label. Select by the motor's nameplate FLA.

How is the starter controlled?

By a voltage-free contact across the control terminals: closed to start, open to stop. No voltage may be applied to these terminals.

Can I use it with power factor correction capacitors?

Not on the motor side. Solcon states capacitors must be installed on the line side, never on the starter's load side.
