Soft Starters

Schneider Electric Soft Starters provide smooth motor starting by gradually increasing the voltage supplied to the motor, thereby reducing the initial inrush current and minimizing mechanical stress on the system. This controlled start reduces wear and tear on motor components, extends motor lifespan, and enhances energy efficiency, making soft starters ideal for pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors, and other applications where a gentle start is crucial.The Altistart range from Schneider Electric offers advanced soft starter solutions that ensure optimal motor control for low-voltage motors. The Altistart 22 and Altistart 48 are particularly popular, providing comprehensive motor protection for motors ranging from 4 kW to 900 kW. These soft starters are equipped with thermal protection, overload monitoring, and phase failure detection, ensuring motors are safeguarded against common electrical faults while delivering efficient and reliable performance.

Schneider Electric range are easy to integrate into new and existing motor control systems. They feature compact designs and DIN rail mounting options, making installation simple and space-saving. Built-in communication modules like Modbus, Ethernet, and Profibus ensure seamless integration into industrial automation systems and SCADA environments, giving operators full control and monitoring capabilities. With features such as adjustable ramp-up and ramp-down settings, Schneider Electric’s provide precise control over motor acceleration and deceleration, reducing the mechanical stress on motors and connected equipment. This also reduces energy consumption during starting, leading to improved operational efficiency.
