Using soft starters on motors will greatly reduce the mechanical stresses involved with starting, increasing the life of the motor and lowering your peak energy demand charges! 

Carlo Gavazzi offers a range of motor controllers for soft starting/stopping, dynamic braking, and reversing of three phase squirrel cage motors. Applications include conveyor systems, pumps, compressors, industrial dryers, mixers, automatic doors, palletizers, and fans.

They also offer soft starters with built-in over temperature monitoring, thermal monitoring of motor via PTC sensor, and built-in overload protection (class 10 or class 20).

With the increasing use of geo-thermal energy and the rising cost of energy in HVAC systems in general, their range also includes single and three phase soft starters for scroll compressors in order to minimize the starting current and preventing light flickering.  For the starting and stopping of large 3-phase induction motors, the RSQK series controls large pumps, fans and mixers.  For 200-500 hp applications, this is your choice!
