The first of its kind IGBT Based medium voltage soft starter. Optimised for applications that require a low starting current and/or high starting torque.

This design saves cost, energy and space while meeting the top performance requirement.

• Provides full torque start
• Starts at nominal motor current or lower
• Enables motor starting from weak electrical networks
• Reduces motor heat at start enabling use of standard motors
• Reduces peak network demand
• More economical than a Medium Voltage VFD, yet provides similar soft start and soft stop features
• Integrated bypass protects against energy loss during operation, optimizes energy efficiency and reduces operational costs
• Streamlined design drastically reduces the footprint requirements
