The aim of the soft starter is to minimize the high inrush current during the start of a 3ph squirrel cage motor. This protects the electric supply and electric installation from overload.
In plants with multiple motors, the use of a soft starter reduces the dimension of wires sizes, protection systems and supply maximum power.
Due to its highly integrated functions and protection circuits of the Christian P-4.0/RL/TP/IC you do not need to install the classic motor protection. The installation requires only the line fuses to protect the wires.
Advantages
- Less oversized power supply.
- Smaller built size of the cabinet.
- Less parts to be installed.
- Less mounting space.
- Price reduction due to less wiring costs.
- Simple commissioning.
- Protection of the mechanical components.
Applications
- Storage and logistic systems.
- Parcel and goods transportation systems.
- Ventilation systems.
- Machine builder.
- Water supply systems.
- Regenerative power generation plants.
- PV tracker control.
