A soft starter is an electronic device used to temporarily reduce the load and torque during the startup of an electric motor. It achieves this by controlling the voltage and current supplied to the motor, allowing for a smoother acceleration and reducing mechanical stress on the motor and connected equipment. Soft starters are typically made from power semiconductor devices and control circuitry that manage the starting process.
| Voltage range | 100V to 690V |
| Current rating | Up to 1200A |
| Control method | Voltage ramp or current limit |
| Protection features | Overload, phase loss, and short circuit protection |
| Operating temperature | -20°C to 60°C |
When selecting a soft starter, consider the voltage and current ratings that match your motor specifications. It's important to specify the control method you prefer, such as voltage ramp or current limit, based on your application needs. Additionally, inquire about protective features to ensure the device can safeguard against overloads and phase losses. Certifications and compliance with industry standards may also be relevant depending on your application requirements.
