Soft Starts
Enhancing Motor Longevity and Efficiency in Industrial Applications
Soft Starts / Soft Starters are essential components in modern industrial setups, providing a gentle ramp-up to full operational capacity, thereby protecting mechanical and electrical systems. By controlling the initial inrush of current, Soft Starters extend the lifespan of motors and reduce maintenance needs across various applications.
ABB Soft Starts / Soft Starters
Switchboard Solutions offers the ABB Softstart range, including PSTX, PSE & PSR range, designed to meet the demands of any application, from small machinery to large industrial equipment. Our selection is crafted to ensure your motors start smoothly, enhancing efficiency and reliability.
ABB’s softstarters increase a motor’s lifetime by protecting it from electrical stresses. ABB’s softstarters are also installation-friendly and can cut your assembly and startup time by being easy to use and learn.
With everything you need in one unit, from bypass contactor to overload protection, a single softstarter makes for a compact and complete starting solution. Furthermore, ABB’s softstarters can help you increase productivity with many application-specific features. Torque control, pump cleaning and many more features let you do more than simply softstarting.
Highlights of the ABB Softstarts include:
ABB’s softstarters cover any motor application from 3 A to 2160 A
Reduced starting current and less electrical stress on the motor and the network
Fast and easy to install and set up with a small footprint
Reduced mechanical wear and tear on mechanical equipment.

More About Soft Starters
Benefits of incorporating Soft Starter technology into your systems include:
Enhanced Motor Protection
By controlling the startup current, Soft Starters reduce wear and tear on motors and electrical circuits, extending the equipment’s operational life.
Energy Savings
Though primarily used for reducing inrush current, Soft Starters can contribute to overall energy efficiency by minimising peak power demand during startup.
Improved Process Control
Soft Starters allow for a controlled acceleration, ensuring smoother starts and stops that can be critical in applications involving sensitive loads.
Reduced Mechanical Stress
The gradual increase in power protects mechanical components, reducing the risk of damage and downtime.
Easy Integration
Soft Starters are compatible with a wide range of industrial applications, offering flexibility in implementation.
