WEG soft starters are fitted with micro processors. They are high-tech and were designed to ensure the highest performance during starts and stops of induction motors.  Soft-Starters are electronic starters designed to accelerate, deccelerate and protect three-phase induction motors, controlling the voltage applied on the motor.  The SSW-05 Plus Micro Soft-Starters, with DSP control (Digital Signal Processor) have been designed to supply an excellent performance during starting and stopping electric motors with excellent cost / benefit ratio. 

The Operator Interface allows easy parameter setting, simply fying the start-up and operation activities.  The SSW-05 Plus Micro Soft-Starters are compact, optimizating the space in electrical panels and already incorporates all protections for the driven motor.  Some possible applications for this soft-start are: Bladed Vaccum Pumps, Centrifugal Pumps, Crusher (Unloaded Starts), Screw Compressors (Relief Start), Mixers, Cellulose Refiners, Axial Fans (Low Inercia and Low Load).  Great for replacing mechanical contactors!

Carlo Gavazzi designed the RSBS series for the heat pump market to offer a starting solution for high temperature applications using hybrid control technology.

The algorithm for the RSBS series automatically adapts to the compressor conditions and adjusts the starting parameters to ensure that the compressor is started even in loaded conditions. What does this mean for you? Fewer alarms and less service calls!

Additional features this soft start can offer you:

• Provides up to 60% reduction in current and increases compressor lifetime!
• Eliminate light flickering, voltage disturbances and stress on the compressor
• Avoid high-energy tariffs by maintaining starting current below fixed limits
• Optimized performance for scroll compressors
• Integrated current limit feedback for inrush current reductions
• Reduced mechanical stress

Marshall Wolf Automation in an authorized Carlo Gavazzi distributor, we can ship these soft starters right from our stock in Illinois!

Motors are used every day in situations that you might not even be aware of. Take a look around and you might be surprised at how many things use motors to work.

A motor soft starter basically decreases the torque and workload during the startup of the motors. The reason to use a motor soft starter is to reduce mechanical stress which helps in extending the lifespan of your motor and equipment.

Soft starters offer you a simple and low cost way to control the fixed speed of your AC motors. Ideal for conveyors and material handling applications, pumps and fan systems.

If you are interested in finding out if your application would benefit from using soft starters just give us a call. Our in-house tech department is ready and waiting!

Carlo Gavazzi offers a complete range of Contactors and Overloads for switching currents up to 900 Amps (600 HP @ 480 VAC). All contactors are available with a wide selection of coil voltages and come standard with built-in auxillary outputs. Interlock and wiring kits are available to turn 2 standard contactors into reversing contactors.

In addition, their range also includes Definite Purpose Contactors up to 50 Amps in 1 pole, 1 pole + shunt, 2 pole, and 3 pole configurations. The 3 pole types can also be configured as reversing starters.

They also offer complete enclosed starters with a choice of plastic or metal housing. Starters are available with none or with a start and stop pushbutton. 

We also offer the line of Soft Starters as well!

We are your authorized Carlo Gavazzi distributor, so call us today!  With technical help on staff and friendly inside sales people, we simplify automation!

Soft starters can be used in a wide variety of applications, however, there are advantages for specific industries.

In pump applications soft starters are commonly used to avoid pressure surges. Material handling or conveyor belt systems can be smoothly started - no jerking or stress on drive components.

Other issues that occur when motors generate too much power on starting include belt slip on heater blowers or a sudden buildup of water pressure in washing installations.

A soft starter limits the inrush current which reduces the transient voltage drops that can affect other loads.

The bottom line is that a soft starter will start the motor in a slow, controlled manner. Any application that would benefit from this is ideal!

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.

Soft start controllers feature internal bypass relays which eliminate the need for large external heatsinks. This minimizes the space requirements in your panel and also greatly reduces the heat generated.

We 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, our range also includes single and three phase soft starters for scroll compressors in order to minimize the starting current and preventing light flickering.
