Softstarts

CSXi Softstart

Softstarts not only offer a number of advantages over direct online starting but can also be a viable alternative to using an inverter drive for motor starting.

Modern Softstarts offer compact size, some marginally bigger than a contactor/overload combination, along with built in bypass facility and overload protection.

Summary of softstart features over other starting methods

DOL starting: -

Reduced starting current
Eliminate snatch at start
On board overload protection
Footprint approaching contactor/overload size
Softstop to eliminate water hammer
Comprehensive protection
Direct PB connection or keypad control
Fieldbus available

Inverter starting: -

Reliable maintenance free
Minimal heat dissapation with onboard bypass
Simple set up
Small footprint even with bypass
Very cost effective at larger sizes

Look at the CSXi softstart from Aucom which features on board bypass in a compact and economical package.
