Worldwide Electric Corp. WSIQ-0200BP Soft Starter

The Worldwide Electric WSIQ-0200BP chassis soft starter delivers controlled, low-inrush startup for three-phase motors in industrial drives, helping protect pumps, conveyors, compressors, blowers, and fans while reducing electrical stress and mechanical shock. Part of the WorldStart iQ (WSIQ) family, it accepts 200–525 VAC three-phase input and uses a 120/230 VAC control voltage, with heavy-duty current rating of 104 A and standard rating of 131 A at 460 V. This solid-state reduced-voltage starter (SSRV) supports constant current and current ramp start, with coast-to-stop and ramp-to-stop modes, and includes DC braking, soft braking, kickstart, and jog forward/reverse. An internal bypass is included, and control is inside-delta (6-wire). Protection features include soft trip and overload protection, with a heavy-duty rating of 450% overload for 30 seconds (4 starts/hour) and a standard rating of 350% overload for 30 seconds (4 starts/hour). Dimensions are 19.5 x 8.5 x 9.6 inches, designed for chassis-mount installation in industrial motor control systems, and it is compatible with pumps, conveyors, compressors, blowers, and fans. Common replacements include Siemens 3RW52 Soft Starter, Allen-Bradley SMC Flex Soft Starter, and Eaton S811 Soft Starter.
