Soft starters are electrical or mechanical devices that reduce torque and current surges when motors are starting. We have accessories that can attach to a soft starter to help lower the stresses that can affect motors. We carry cooling fans and transit protectors to support the overall function of a soft starter. Our mounting plates and lug covers offer excellent installation and guarding pieces, while the vibration plates help to reduce vibrations when the machine is running. If you are using variable and constant torque soft starts, integrated bypass soft starts, or bypass soft starts, we have accessories to work with each type of machine.
Frequently Asked Questions
A soft start accessory limits the inrush of current, especially when the motor requires high torque on startup. It helps to smoothly accelerate the motor, reducing mechanical stress on the motor and extending its lifespan.
Soft start accessories offer several benefits, including reduced power consumption, improved motor longevity, quieter operation, and improved reliability.
When choosing a soft start accessory, consider the motor type, voltage, current draw, and starting torque requirements. It's crucial to select an accessory that is properly sized and compatible with your motor.
The installation process depends on the specific soft start accessory and the electrical system. It's recommended to follow the manufacturer's instructions or consult a qualified electrician for safe and proper installation.
