Motor Soft Starter

The starting current drawn by an induction motor is directly proportional to the applied voltage. The Soft Starter is designed to make it possible to choose the lowest voltage possible (pedestal voltage) at which the motor can be started - the lowest voltage being dependent on the load on the motor. The voltage is ramped up from this pedestal level to full voltage in the set time (selectable- 2 to 10 seconds). Pedestal voltage and ramp time can be set at site. It is also possible to provide controlled torque soft start with current limit option. Soft stop feature can also be provided, as optional.
