JKSSS+ Series - 80
JKSSS+ Series 2.3 - 4.2KV
The soft starter is designed to be a maintenance-free product. However, as with all electronic equipment, the
unit should be checked periodically for dirt, moisture or industrial contaminants. These can cause high voltage
arc-over, carbon tracking or prevent proper cooling of the SCR heat sinks. All bolts should be checked annu-
ally for proper tightness using an accurate torque wrench. According to the manufacturer’s manual, check the
contactor for air gap spacing of the vacuum bottles.
