If you don’t control the start of large motors, they can put stress on cabling, overload circuits, and cause mechanical failure quickly. Schneider Electric has developed soft starters for large electrical motors to allow for a gradual starting and stopping of motors in an industrial environment.
We create panelized assemblies with soft starters to be used on pumps, compressors, fans and conveyors that require limit the amount of inrush current. Each soft starter can be programmed according to the motor rating, type of load and/or duty cycle. Both the acceleration and deceleration ramp-up times will limit any sudden breakaway torque will be experienced. There are parameters for the overload and fault protection are customized to accommodate operational conditions rather than relying on factory defaults.During your last visit, we referred to this product as "the best thing to come along in a long time." We appreciate your interest in our Soft Starters and all the positive feedback from customers who have purchased our Soft Starters. We know that each situation is unique, but many customers tell us that they find it beneficial to run the Soft Starter on electric motors versus using traditional soft starters. If you would like to ask us any questions regarding the Soft Start systems that are now available, or if you want more information regarding Schneider Soft Starters, please contact us.
When large motors start, they generate a substantial amount of electromagnetic forces (EMF) through inductance and capac... Continue
