Results for tag: "Soft Starter"

A Soft Starter is a device used to reduce the current surge and torque of an electric motor during start-up. It is an alternative to the traditional direct-on-line starter, which can cause a large inrush of current and mechanical shock to the motor. Soft starters are used in a variety of applications, including pumps, fans, compressors, and conveyors. Soft starters are designed to reduce the current and torque of the motor during start-up, allowing for a smoother start and reduced wear on the motor. They also provide protection against overloads, short circuits, and undervoltage. Soft starters are available in a variety of sizes and configurations, and can be used with both AC and DC motors. Some companies in the Soft Starter market include ABB, Siemens, Schneider Electric, Rockwell Automation, and Eaton. Show Less Read more
