MEDIUM VOLTAGE SOFT STARTERS

Up to 6.6kV, up to 8.5MVA

DriveStart

Introducing the DriveStart, the first of its kind, IGBT based Medium Voltage Soft Starter, optimized for applications that require low starting current and/or a high starting torque. The cutting edge design results in significant savings in costs, energy and space while meeting high demand application requirements.

Features

Optimized for applications that require a low starting current and/or a high starting torque

Provides full torque start
Starts at nominal motor current or lower
Enables motor starting from weak electrical networks
Reduces motor heat at start enabling use of standard motors
Reduces peak network demand

Saving costs, energy and space while meeting top performance requirements

More economical than a Medium Voltage VFD, yet provides similar soft start and soft stop features
Integrated bypass protects against energy loss during operation, optimizes energy efficiency and reduces operational costs
Streamlined design drastically reduces the footprint requirements
