Frequently Asked Questions

What is a soft starter and how does it benefit my industrial facility?

A soft starter is a motor control device that gradually ramps up voltage to reduce inrush current during motor starting. It eliminates the mechanical stress of across-the-line starting, extends equipment life, reduces electrical system disturbances, and minimizes maintenance costs. Our Class E2 compliant systems provide smooth stepless acceleration with comprehensive protection and monitoring capabilities.
