DriveStart
Introducing the DriveStart, which is the first of its kind. This is an IGBT based Medium Voltage Soft Starter, which is 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.

Every industry and for any application, looks to install a motor that is both robust and high in efficiency. For this reason most production lines are run by three phase AC type motors.

Protecting these motors while they are running with the help of specially developed equipment is essential for worry free production.

Preventing the high inrush current while starting the motor helps release the stress on the electricity network and ensures the safe run of the motor that is so vital for the smooth operation of any production line. A soft start that reduces the torque and load in the power temporarily while ensuring a smooth ramp up of the motor prevents potential damage, thus maximizing motor life span.

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
