NEW! 


SOFT STARTERS 

WEG Motors and Drives, the proven leader in 

AC motor control, maintains their leadership role in 

Soft Starter technology with the release of the 3rd 

generation SSW06 Soft Starter Product Line. Many 

of the advantages that have been proven successful 

in WEG’s CFW09 Variable Frequency Drive are now 

integrated into the SSW06 Soft Starter. 

ADVANTAGES 

A Dual Readout Digital Copy Keypad allows 

maximum ease of operation by providing a high 

visibility red LED display and a 2-line by 16-character 

alpha-numeric display that virtually eliminates the need 

for an instruction manual during set-up and operation. 

The alpha-numeric readout can display in English, 

Spanish, German or Portuguese. The copy keypad 

function allows the storage of two unique sets of User 

Parameters for easy recall. This can also be used to 

download these parameters to other SSW06’s for easy 

set-up and “cloning” of multiple soft starters. 

“Oriented Start-Up” is a WEG exclusive advantage 

that simplifi es the initial start-up of the SSW06. The 

SSW06 asks for operational and motor information via 

the keypad, thereby assuring correct operation and the 

motor overload protection is setup accurately. 

The Built-in Bypass Contactor will automatically 

put the AC motor “across-the-line” once the SSW06 

has smoothly accelerated the motor up-to-speed. The 

bypass contactor will minimize power losses and heat 

dissipation by removing the SCR’s from the motor 

control and also provide energy savings and a smaller 

overall soft starter package. The user can mount the 

SSW06 inside of a more protective enclosure, NEMA1, 

NEMA3R, NEMA12, NEMA4 and NEMA4X with minimal 

cooling requirements. 

Universal Source Voltage allows a single unit to 

be used in applications with voltages ranging from 220 

to 575V AC three phase, 50/60Hz. The appropriate soft 

starter would be selected by the full load Amps of the 

AC motor.

The SSW-06 is WEG’s third generation Soft 

Starter line. It’s keypad with dual display provides 

high visibility on bright, red LED digits and ease 

of programming with the aid of a plain English 

display. 

Integral bypass contacts eliminate heat dissipation 

once the motor is at full voltage, which makes it 

extremely compact and allows for simple integration 

into non ventiladed enclosures and replacement 

of electromechanical starters in Motor Control 

Centers.

INTRODUCTION 

Most Soft Starter and VFD installations are completed quickly 

with a successful start-up and a satisfied User. But if questions 

on set-up, operation, or troubleshooting occur, what 

should be done in response? If the VFD stops operating and 

the User’s production is interrupted, what should be done for 

the quickest and most effective response? If a product has to 

be returned for evaluation, what is the proper RA procedure 

to make this happen? 

INITIAL TECHNICAL RESPONSE 

The first step is for the User to contact their local WEG office 

and discuss the problem with their regional WEG sales 

staff for technical support. Often this is a simple request for 

Instruction Manuals or a question on the product that can be 

handled at a local or regional level. 

CALL 1-800-ASK-4WEG. (1-800-275-4934) If the local 

WEG office or WEG sales staff cannot answer the question or 

resolve the problem, then contact the WEG Regional Drives 

Product Specialist (See Service Center Map for the WEG 

Drives Specialist in your area) or in the event that person is not 

available contact the WEG Atlanta Drives and Controls Department 

at 1-877-WEG-DRIVE (1-877-934-3748). 

After Hours Procedure for Technical Support? 

The procedure for obtaining “after-hours” technical 

support is the same as for WEG motors. The User should call 

1-800-ASK-4-WEG and follow the instructions to reach their 

regional “Emergency On-Call” person. If the “On-Call” person 

cannot handle the situation, then the “On-Call” will contact the 

appropriate WEG personnel for additional support. The I-877- 

WEG-DRIV technical support number is only monitored during 

normal business hours; (8:00AM to 5:00PM EST, Monday thru 

Friday). 

WARRANTY RESPONSE: 

If the problem has not been resolved with telephone 

technical support and the Product is still covered under 

warranty, the following Options should be reviewed for the best 

response under the specific conditions. 

Option 1: Return the Product to Atlanta for Warranty 

Evaluation 

The customer can send the defective product to the WEG 

Atlanta Drives and Controls Department for evaluation. Before 

the defective product is returned to Atlanta, Terri Woodruff, in 

the WEG Atlanta Drives and Controls Department, must be 

contacted to issue an RA# to track the return of the product for 

warranty evaluation. An RA# is required for all products prior to 

their shipment to Atlanta. The RA# allows us to track the unit 

through the evaluation process.The customer would be notified 

on the results of the evaluation and quoted the repair costs. If 

they choose not to have the unit repaired, there would be a $150 

evaluation charge for services performed. If they decide to have 

it repaired then the $150 would be applied to the repair charges. 

Option 2: WEG Representative to Evaluate Product 

“On-Site” 

Depending on the situation and the User’s location, a WEG TAM 

or WEG Drives Product Specialist or a member of the WEG 

Atlanta Drives and Controls Group would travel to the customer 

site to evaluate the situation. Unless otherwise negotiated, 

warranty service would include only “in-house” parts and labor 

and all Travel and Living (T&L) expenses would be paid by the 

customer. Any exception to this policy would be negotiated prior 

to the customer visit.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT Notes PROCEDURES FOR WEG 

VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES & SOFT STARTERS 


Option 3: Technical Support from a WEG Authorized 

Service Center 

WEG has established a network of regionally located 3rd party 

Authorized Service Centers (ASC) that can be authorized to 

provide on-site and off-site warranty service. Prior authorization 

must be given to the User and to the ASC before the ASC 

is called in to the User’s location or if products are sent to an 

ASC for warranty evaluation and repair. See the next section 

for Non-Warranty procedures. 

When a User needs to return a product for warranty evaluation, 

the preferred procedure would be Option # 1; sending 

the product to Atlanta. Before the defective product is sent 

to an Authorized Service Center for warranty evaluation, the 

User must get authorization to send it to the ASC as well as 

contacting Terri Woodruff, in the WEG Atlanta Drives and 

Controls Group, to issue an RA# to track the shipment of the 

product to the ASC for warranty evaluation. An RA# and prior 

authorization is required for all products prior to their shipment 

to the ASC for warranty evaluation. 

Authorizing the Services of the WEG ASC 

The use of a WEG ASC must be pre-authorized prior to the 

service being started with a PO# issued from the Atlanta 

Drives and Controls Group or the WEG Drives Product 

Specialists. If products are sent to the ASC or the ASC is 

called into the customer’s location without prior authorization, 

warranty may not be allowed pending review by the WEG 

Atlanta Drives and Controls Group. 

Warranty Service applies only to “In-House” 

Parts and Labor 

Unless negotiated in advance, the warranty service will cover 

in-house parts and labor only. All T&L expenses, including 

travel labor, will be the responsibility of the User. 

NON-WARRANTY RESPONSE 

For repair of products that are out of the warranty period or 

fail due to non-warranty conditions, there are several steps 

to follow for expeditious response. (The standard warranty 

period for WEG Drives products shall be 18 months from the 

invoice date). 

As mentioned previously, the User’s initial response is to 

contact their local WEG office to provide that first line of 

technical support. 

If the local WEG office or WEG salesperson cannot resolve 

the problem, then the WEG Drives Product Specialist or the 

WEG Atlanta Drives and Controls Group should be contacted. 

If the problem still exists after the initial telephone support, 

here are further support options. 

Option A: Return the Product to Atlanta for Non- 

Warranty Evaluation 

The customer can send the defective product to the WEG 

Atlanta Drives and Controls Group for evaluation. Before the 

defective product is returned to Atlanta, Terri Woodruff, in the 

Atlanta Drives and Controls Group, must be contacted to 

issue an RA# to track the return of the product for non-warranty 

evaluation. An RA# is required for all products prior 

to their shipment to Atlanta. The RA# allows us to track the 

unit through the evaluation process.The customer would be 

notified on the results of the evaluation and quoted the repair 

costs. If they choose not to have the unit repaired, there would 

be a $150 evaluation charge for services performed. If they 

decide to have it repaired then the $150 would be applied to 

the repair charges. 

Option B: Send the Product to a WEG Authorized 

Service Center 

The customer can send the defective product to an ASC 

for evaluation and repair. WEG would not be involved in the 

billing process and the customer would work directly with the 

ASC for pricing, service and billing. 

SUMMARY 

The main concern of the WEG Atlanta Drives and Controls 

Department and the regional WEG Drives Product Specialists 

is to provide quick and accurate technical product support. A 

vast majority of the times the situation can be resolved with 

a single telephone call. A change in a parameter settings, a 

different wiring connection or combination of both of these 

can often solve what often seems to be an insurmountable 

problem. 

Teamwork is essential between the WEG sales force, WEG 

Drives and Controls Department, the WEG Drives Product 

Specialists, the ASC and our Product User’s to provide a 

quick, efficient and effective technical support network.

The WEG Electric Motors national headquarters 

in Suwanee, Georgia is also home to our own 

custom panel shop. Opened seven years ago, the 

panel shop was charged with the sole purpose of 

integrating WEG variable frequency drives and 

soft starters into rugged and reliable industrial 

control panels. This shop provides an essential 

value-added service to WEG customers around 

the nation. 

Our panel shop has developed the popular and 

successful TPH and GPH soft starter product lines, 

and continues to produce them, keeping them in 

stock in five warehouses around the country. In 

addition, the panel shop produces unique custom 

drive and soft starter panels designed to meet 

customer specifications. All of our panels are fully 

compliant with Underwriter’s Laboratory UL-508A 

program, as well as the National Electric Code. 

Panel shop personnel directly involved in design, 

assembly, wiring, and testing represent seventy- 

five years of experience in system integration and 

panel shop work. Personnel in essential support 

positions add another eighty years of diverse 

industrial control experience. We draw on this 

valuable experience to produce panels of the 

highest quality and dependability. All of our panels 

are assembled and wired using the best industrial 

practices, and each one passes through a very 

meticulous inspection and testing process before 

being shipped. 

We offer custom systems from our Brazil and 

Mexico Works as well.
