Soft starters – The Better Way to Start, with Less Wear and Tear

Nowadays, the three-phase motor is the optimal drive used to implement machine and system concepts in a straightforward and economical manner. However, in many cases, direct-on-line or even star-delta starting are not the best solutions to avoid pressure surges in pump installations, reduce starting current peaks with large rotating masses or ensure that mechanical handling equipment starts up without a jolt, for example.

This is where softstarters provide the smooth alternative in virtually every situation, preventing jerky motor starting while going easy on the supply system. Using them, you are cutting operating costs in several ways.

The DS4 and DM4 devices cover the complete rating range from 2.2 kW to 900 kW, and their approval to global Standards ensures that they can be used throughout the world.
