What are soft starters? A soft starter is an electrical device used with AC motors to reduce the torque and load in the current surge and the powertrain of the electric motor during the start-up stage. At Schneider Electric UK, we offer an expansive range of soft starters like Altistart 22, Altistart 48, Altistart 0, and more.
