Eaton S801+T18N3S
The Eaton S801+ series is a reduced-voltage soft starter designed for three-phase motors. The T18N3S is a typical model with 180 A current rating and T-type frame. By softly switching the motor voltage during start-up and stop processes, the product achieves smooth acceleration/deceleration, reduces mechanical and current shocks, and enhances system reliability and service life.

- Programmable Acceleration/Deceleration Curves: Achieves optimal starting characteristics for different loads through built-in parameter settings.
- Fieldbus Compatibility: Modbus RTU facilitates integration with upper-level systems, enabling remote monitoring and diagnosis.
Structure and Composition
- Power Supply Module: 24 V DC auxiliary power supply, providing power for the control circuit.
- Power Module: Includes thyristor/IGBT switch array to realize soft voltage switching.
- Control and Display Unit: LCD/keyboard or touch panel for parameter setting and status display.
- Communication Unit: Modbus RTU interface and optional fieldbus modules.
- Overload and Bypass Contactors: Built-in thermal relay and mechanical bypass for protection and fast switching.
- Terminal Blocks: Input, output, control and communication terminals complying with IEC/EN standards.
Typical Application Fields
- Pump Stations and Water Treatment: Soft stop prevents water hammer and extends pipeline service life.
- Fans and Compressors: Reduces start-up current shock and prolongs the service life of mechanical components.
- Mining and Metallurgy: Smooth start-up and shutdown of high-power three-phase motors.
- Papermaking, Textile, and Food Processing: Motors for production lines requiring frequent start-stop operations.
- Building Facilities: Motor control for air conditioning, ventilation systems, etc.
Installation Key Points
- Model Matching: Confirm that the motor’s rated current and supply voltage are consistent with the parameters of the S801+ T18N3S.
- Wiring Layout: Use cables that meet specifications (#5 AWG – 500 kcmil), ensure correct phase sequence and reliable grounding.
- Power Supply: Provide a stable 24 V DC auxiliary power supply to avoid voltage fluctuations affecting the control circuit.
- Heat Dissipation and Ventilation: Install in a well-ventilated cabinet to maintain the operating temperature within the specified range.
- Communication Wiring: If using Modbus RTU, configure the correct baud rate, address, and terminal resistor.
- Commissioning Steps: First perform no-load testing to check the start-up voltage curve and current waveform, then connect the load for full-load verification.
Maintenance
- Regular Inspection: Check wiring tightness, terminal corrosion, and heat sink cleanliness every 6 months.
- Firmware Upgrade: Obtain the latest firmware through the Modbus interface to improve functionality and compatibility.
- Fault Diagnosis: Use fault codes displayed on the LCD or alarm information from the upper-level system to quickly locate overload, short circuit, or communication abnormalities.
- Spare Parts Management: Keep overload relays, bypass contactors, and power modules in stock for quick replacement.
- Environmental Monitoring: Ensure the operating environment temperature and humidity are within the rated range to prevent component aging caused by extreme conditions.
