Product Description
The micro processor based
control module RSC-AAM60
is used with output modules
RSO... to achieve a voltage
controlled soft start/soft stop
of 3-phase motors and a pos-
sibility for energy reduction
when e.g. a fan is running with
a variable capacity. This func-
tion is achieved by controlling
the control module with a cur-
rent between 4 and 20 mA (0
and 20 mA). The output mod-
ule can be selected according
to the rated operational volt-
age and the size of the load.
This phase angle controlled
soft-start unit can be used for
pumps, fans, heaters, lights
and many other applications.
LED indications for line ON
and load ON gives a clear sta-
tus indication.

Mode of Operation
The control module RSC-
AAM60 is used with the out-
put module RSO..... to
achieve analog control of 3-
phase induction motors.
Soft starting is achieved by
increasing the motor voltage
in accordance with the input
current. Soft stopping is
achieved by decreasing the
motor voltage in accordance
with the input current.
When the motor is running
idle, the motor voltage can
be reduced by lowering the
input current, whereby ener-
gy is saved.
Heating elements can also
be controlled with the
RSC/RSO with the use of
appropriate filters.

It is recommended to protect the solid state relay against
overheating. Therefore the chart also states the maximum
switching temperature (70, 80 or 90 °C) for the optional
temperature limit switch.

Applications
The output module RSO ..110
is recommended for motors
up to 22 kW @ 400 V. The
RSO ..110 is designed for use
in applications with high surge
current conditions. Care must
be taken to ensure proper heat-
sinking when the relays are to
be used at high nominal cur-
rents. Adequate electrical con-
nection between relay termi-
nals and cable must be ensured.
Example 1:

For this application RSC-AAM60

module RSO4025 is selected
according to the Selection Guide.
The
smallest
heatsink
required is 1 K/W, and the
power dissipation is 25 W.
This gives:

Connection to the mains
Since no motor protective
circuitry is included in the
RSC/RSO, the motor must
be protected in the usual
way, i.e. either by a thermal
relay, a PTC-resistor or a
Klixon bimetal temperature
switch near the motor windings.
Transient voltage protection
With an unfiltered main supply,
voltage transient may occur.
Since these transients could
have a high energy content, it
is advisable to use varistors
to protect the output module.
