The SR55 soft starter provides motor
overload protection, which can be
configured through the touchscreen.
Overload trip settings are determined
by the Motor Current setting and the
Trip Class setting. Trip class choices
are class 10, class 20, and class 30.
The SR55 soft starters are protected

17 to 195 - AC-53a: 3.5-17; 90-5
Duty Cycle (F-S)
90-5 = 90% duty cycle - 5 cycles/hr
[if multiple starts/hr are required, 90% D.C. requires off time ≥ 10% of previous run time]
Overload Current Profile (X-Tx)
3.5-17 = 3.5 times rated current (I
e) for 17s
Utilization Category
AC-53a = controller semiconductors provide squirrel-cage motor Start, Run, and Stop control
Rated Operational Current (I
e)
17 to 195 = controllers with Rated Operational Currents from 17A to 195A
