Soft Starter Panel

Soft starter panels offer a precisely engineered method of powering AC motors in fixed speed applications. They can also be used to slope down whenever heavy dynamic loads are detected.

Working Principle
Soft starter panels works on the principle of phase angle control. The method utilises thyristors and triacs with the level of voltage delivered by the control system. This voltage is detected by the point on the mains sine wave at which the equipment fires or ignites. As a rule, the greater the firing angle, the lower is the output voltage.

Features & Benefits

• The device produces high quality results.
• Provided with compressed manual starters and contactors.
• The starter is of smaller size thus occupying minimum panel space.
• Provided with manual starters that provide protection against short circuit as well as motor thermal-overload in a single compact package.
• These panels have wall-mounting enclosures that allow easy access for conduits from both sides and bottom.

Uses & Applications
Soft starter panels are used in diverse applications including:

• Pumping applications
• Centrifuge
• Over head cranes
• Compressors
• Chillers
• Fire pumps
• Escalators
• Conveyors
