40 hp 380volt 50hz help

[johnnyrotten1]

I have a 40 hp 380 volt 50hz motor to go into machine to drive a hyd pump . what do I need to use to start it . I was told a soft start would work . I need to run the motor here to test and then send it to South America.I also need to get 120 volt to run some hyd solenoids and a warning lights and beeper. Some one told me about a control transformer what size do I need.This is a new machine and I have always used a diesel engine in the other models so this is all new to me .

You could try to express that in the form of a question; perhaps then you might get a useful response.

I would start a 40 Hp hydraulic skid Direct On Line. But, some local codes may require a reduced voltage scheme for 40 Hp. A soft start will work. You may consider inhibiting operation of the hydraulic loads until the motor is up to speed.
