Eaton DS7 480V, 10 HP, 3 Phase Soft Starter, IP20

This soft starter is designed for three-phase motor systems with a power rating of 7.5kW. The device operates efficiently within a voltage range of 200 - 480 V AC and is suitable for use in environments with temperatures ranging from -40 to +40°C. With Compact dimensions of 94mm in overall length and depth, and a width of 45mm, it meets various industry standards, including CSA and UL certifications.

• Internal bypass contacts reduce energy loss during operation
• Soft start function minimises mechanical stress on motors
• Offers voltage suppression to eliminate DC component damage
• Rated IP20 for protection against solid objects over 12mm
• Enables potential isolation between power and control circuits
• Slim design allows for vertical mounting in restricted spaces

• Utilised for soft starting of three-phase asynchronous motors
• Commonly deployed in industrial motor control systems
• Ideal for where reducing starting torque is critical
• Suitable for branch circuits compliant with UL and CSA standards

The soft start feature allows for gradual acceleration of the motor, effectively reducing inrush current and overall mechanical stress during start-up, which can prolong the motor's lifespan and reduce wear on drive components.

It can function efficiently in ambient temperatures between -40°C and +40°C, making it versatile for various industrial environments, even those with extreme conditions.

The internal bypass contacts engage during normal operation, which reduces energy consumption and heat generation when the motor reaches operating speed, thus improving efficiency.

An IP20 rating indicates that the soft starter is protected against solid objects greater than 12mm, making it suitable for use in environments where dust and particles are minimal, ensuring reliable performance.

It meets critical standards such as CSA, UL, and IEC/EN 60947-4-2, ensuring it adheres to recognised safety and performance benchmarks essential for industrial applications.
