The soft starters of the DS7 device series are two-phase controlled and are
available in two variants in the power section (for size 1 and 2 or size 3 and 4).
The asymmetrical thyristor trigger control that was developed and patented
by Eaton (Moeller) for phase control (PCT/EP00/12938, 19.12.2000) prevents
DC components and ensures optimum startup behavior. This control is
integrated in the DS7 soft starters and is active during the start (t-Start) and
stop ramp (t-Stop).
Size 1 (4 to 12 A) Size 2 (16 to 32 A) Size 3 and 4 (41 to 200 A)

￫
In the case of conventional two-phase controlled soft starters,
the physical conditions involved in their operation lead to DC
components that in turn result in an elliptical rotating field being
produced. This causes the motor to start up unevenly and the
acceleration time is unnecessarily extended.
