Series PCEC Hydraulic Elevator Softstarters

A simple, solid-state solution for the operation of motors that drive hydraulic elevators and escalators

A simple, solid-state solution for the operation of motors that drive hydraulic elevators and escalators.

The PCE Hydraulic Elevator Softstarter and PCEC Panel Solution by Sprecher+Schuh are designed to simplify installation, set-up, and typical operation of motors that drive hydraulic elevators and escalators. This solid state starter solution is designed to operate 3 phase standard squirrel cage induction motors and can be connected to a 6 or 12 lead Wye-Delta (Star-Delta) or standard 3 or 9 lead motors. Through the use of LINE or INSIDE-THE-DELTA control, the solid state solution can provide ultimate control of the motor. The advantages of a solid state solution include the following: 

Provides smooth motor starting 

• Decreases current surges on weak electrical systems
• Reduced starting torque of the motor helps to reduce mechanical stress on system components
• Helps meet both local and regional electrical codes when reduced voltage starting is a requirement
• Eliminates voltage and current spikes associated with traditional Wye-Delta (Star-Delta) starters
• Maximizes motor life due to reduced electrical strain
• Lowers general system maintenance requirements for improved uptime
