WEG SSW06 Electronic Soft Starter
The WEG SSW06 Electronic Soft Starter covers motor ratings from 3 A to 720 A at 200–575 V three-phase, bridging the gap between the entry-level SSW07 and the heavy-duty SSW900 for mid-range pump, fan, and compressor applications across Saudi Arabia's industrial and commercial markets. The SSW06 delivers controlled voltage ramp starting to reduce motor inrush current to 2–3 times full-load current versus the 6–8 times seen with direct-on-line starting, protecting switchgear, supply cables, and the SEC distribution network from excessive fault level contributions during motor starting events. Its built-in bypass contactor is rated to 720 A, making it suitable for motors up to approximately 355 kW at 380 V.
The SSW06 includes motor protection functions that enhance the value beyond simple soft starting: electronic thermal overload model (Class 10, 20, 30), under- and over-voltage protection, phase-loss detection, and a phase-sequence guard that prevents reverse motor rotation — a critical protection in pump applications where reverse rotation causes cavitation and mechanical damage to centrifugal pumps. The Modbus RTU communication port allows remote monitoring and parameter adjustment from SCADA systems, and the SSW06's event log stores the last eight fault events with timestamps for maintenance analysis. The compact DIN-rail and panel mounting options suit both standalone motor starters and multi-motor MCC panel assemblies.
In Saudi Arabia's commercial and light industrial sectors, the SSW06 is widely used by NWC-approved contractors for municipal water pump stations, by HVAC contractors for large chilled water and cooling tower pump installations, and by electrical panel builders for motor control centres across manufacturing facilities in Riyadh, Dammam, and Jeddah. Its price competitiveness versus European soft starters of equivalent current rating makes it attractive to Saudi project owners managing tight electrical system budgets without compromising on quality or protection capability. The SSW06 meets IEC 60947-4-2 and is CE marked, satisfying SASO import requirements and SEC contractor electrical inspection standards.
Razz Middle East stocks SSW06 units across the full current range from 3 A to 720 A for immediate delivery across Saudi Arabia. Our team provides pre-sales technical support including soft starter selection, motor protection coordination, and Modbus parameter configuration guidance. On-site commissioning, parameter setting, and testing services are available at our standard field service rates, and we provide quotations in SAR within the same business day of enquiry.

Key Features & Benefits
- Reduces motor inrush current from 6–8x FLC (DOL) to 2–3x FLC, protecting switchgear, cables, and the SEC distribution network from fault-level stress during starting.
- Built-in bypass contactor rated to 720 A eliminates steady-state SCR losses, improving operating efficiency in continuous-running pump and fan applications.
- Phase-sequence protection prevents reverse motor rotation — a critical feature for centrifugal pumps where reverse rotation causes cavitation and mechanical seal damage.
- Electronic thermal model with Class 10, 20, and 30 settings provides accurate motor protection across a wide range of motor thermal characteristics and starting duties.
- Eight-event fault log with timestamps assists maintenance teams in diagnosing recurring faults and scheduling preventive maintenance before failures occur.
- Compact DIN-rail and panel mounting options support both standalone motor starters and high-density MCC panel assemblies.
Industrial Applications in Saudi Arabia
- Municipal water pump station motor starting for NWC-approved contractors, where reduced inrush current prevents voltage dips on the SEC distribution network.
- Large chilled water and cooling tower pump motor starting in commercial HVAC systems across Riyadh, Jeddah, and Eastern Province commercial developments.
- Motor control centre soft starter assemblies in manufacturing facilities across Riyadh and Dammam Second Industrial City.
- Compressor motor starting in light industrial facilities where controlled acceleration prevents process pressure transients during startup.
- Conveyor and materials handling motor starting in Saudi Arabia's growing logistics and warehousing sector.
- Fan motor starting in industrial ventilation systems, where soft starting reduces mechanical stress on belt drives and couplings.
