Soft starter

basic information

ABB offers soft starters as one of the solutions for motor starting. The main role of a soft starter is to control voltage and enable smooth starting and stopping of the motor. By using a soft starter, the high starting current that can be problematic with direct-on-line starting can be suppressed. Additionally, it can simultaneously mitigate mechanical shocks caused by abrupt starting and stopping, contributing to the longevity of the driven equipment. ABB provides a wide range of models, from simple ones specialized for soft starting/stopping to high-functionality models equipped with motor protection features and dedicated functions tailored to the driven equipment, allowing us to propose the optimal solution for our customers' devices. Moreover, the design aims for simplicity and intuitive operation, making it easy for first-time users of soft starters to use them. Furthermore, ABB's soft starters, equipped with many application-specific features, contribute to enhancing customer productivity. They not only provide soft starting but also include various functions such as torque control and pump cleaning.
