Soft Starters

A Soft starter is a device that allows motors to start with less power than usual. Reducing the wattage decreases the system's risk of electrical and mechanical shocks. They gradually increase speed and are only needed during starting and stopping.

A Soft starter prevents shocks by ensuring smooth and consistent starting through torque management for the progressive acceleration of the drive system.

Altivar Soft Starters provide a slow ramp-up of the motor to help decrease mechanical shock and electrical peak demand. Altivar Soft Starter is the best in class, feature-rich, easy-to-use, compact and robust Soft Starter with functionalities including torque control, communication for automation and monitoring systems. Altivar Soft Starters range from 3 A (0.37 kW) to 1200 A (900 kW) and can be used widely for any commercial and industrial application.
