• Brochure/Catalog
• User's Manual

The VMX Series is a digitally programmable solid-state reduced voltage soft starter. Its six SCR design features a voltage/current ramp with an anti-oscillation circuit for smooth load acceleration. The SCRs are sized to withstand starting currents of 350% for 30 seconds and up to 600% for 10 seconds. The VMX Series features smooth, stepless ramp control, which reduces motor inrush current and excessive wear on the mechanical drive train components. The VMX Series includes a programmable keypad for setting operating parameters for the ideal starting cycle and protection features, plus easy to understand diagnostic LEDs.

Starting torque, ramp time, current limit, dual ramp, and Decel control are standard features on the VMX Series, as well as the integrated Batch Process Timer and Time Clock Controller used for automated applications. By simply adjusting the unit's starting torque, ramp time and current limit functions, the starting electrical characteristics of the motor can be matched to the mechanical characteristics of the drive train for controlled acceleration of the load. The VMX Series includes solid-state electronic overload protection in addition to numerous other protective features. It requires 120VAC (220VAC optional) control power and uses dry contact inputs for Start / Stop control. Programmable auxiliary contacts and provisions for interlocking are also included.

The Motortronics VMX Series starters are current rated controllers. Max. Amp ratings are for continuous duty and must not be exceeded. Always check the motor nameplate FLA and Service Factor to ensure proper sizing. Each size has an adjustable current range from 50% to 100% of the Max Amp rating.

VMX Series Soft Starter with Integral Bypass Contactor - NEMA & IEC Ratings

For NEMA 1 ventilated applications, or for OEM purposes where a bypass contactor will be added by others, VMX-210 models and above can be selected without the integral Bypass by substituting the -BP suffix with a -P suffix.
