Benefits of Using Soft Starters

Soft starters offer numerous advantages over traditional contactors, leading to improved system performance and reduced operational costs.

Reduced Maintenance Costs

• Eliminates pressure surges in applications with compressors and pumps, reducing water hammer effects.
• Minimizes voltage dips and starting current intensity, allowing for smaller power supply contracts.

Optimized System Design and Operation

• Enables optimized mechanical sizing of the system.
• Simplifies system automation.
• Compact design facilitates easy mounting, adjustment, installation, commissioning, and maintenance.

Improved Motor Protection

• Reduces torque impulses during start-up and shut-down, eliminating mechanical issues.
• No additional cooling required as the bypass relay is integrated.

Replacement for Conventional Contactors

Soft starters effectively replace conventional contactors: one in direct-on-line starting and three in star-delta starting configurations.
