Soft starters

BB's soft starters increase a motor's lifetime by protecting it from electrical stresses. They do so by letting you optimize starting currents that with conventional starting methods put lots of stress on the motor. With many built-in motor protection features, your motor is safe in its hands. ABB's soft starters are also installation-friendly and can cut your assembly and startup time by being easy to use and easy to learn. With everything that you need in one unit, from bypass contactor to overload protection, a single soft starter makes for a compact and complete starting solution. Furthermore, with many application specific features, ABB's soft starters can ultimately help you increase productivity. Torque control, pump cleaning and many more features let you do more than simply softstarting.
