Series PCEC Hydraulic Elevator Softstarter
Sprecher + Schuh’s PCEC Softstarters 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 induction motors and can be connected to a 6 or 12 lead Wye-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. ****

Series PCEC Features
PCEC Base Controller Operation
The base controller is a standard product that uses advanced motor control and
simple diagnostics. The controller consists of a main micro processor, current
sensing, built in adjustable overload, solid state power modules, and
electromechanical bypass contacts. Simple dip switch configuration provides for
a variety of control modes. The default configuration uses built in current
sensing to limit current to the motor during starting. The controller then
changes to the run mode by transitioning to internal bypass contactors and
changing the state of the aux contact. The internal bypass contactor provides
decreased heating during run and removes the SCR’s from the circuit.

Also available in 230V Control Voltage. The PCEC Hydraulic Elevator duty rating is 80 starts per hour at 50% duty cycle (160 calls per hour). Starts per hour are based on when the motor starts, the motor only runs on “up” calls. Installing an optional fan (PCV-64) is recommended for PCEC-032A…064A for maximum starts per hour performance. All other PCEC units have an internal fan as standard.

PCEC Fault Contactor Operation
The fault contactor is controlled through the fault contact of the controller.
When control power is applied to the controller, the fault contact closes and
applies control power to the coil. The fault contact will open, removing power
from the fault contactor and disabling the motor during any of the following
events:
- Power is removed from the controller
- The motor has developed a problem including overloading due to mechanical or electrical reasons, ground faults, or motor short circuits.
- If the starter would detect an internal problem such as a shorted SCR or Overtemp condition
