Soft Starters

Overview

Our Soft Starters have been providing precise controlled AC motor starting and stopping for decades. We pioneered this motor control technology to limit the current to a motor on both acceleration and deceleration to provide a longer life to both motor and machinery.

Control Techniques offers a complete range of low voltage AC motor soft starters such as our pre-engineered crusher duty EMX3-4-1 soft starter packages suitable for both normal and heavy duty applications, plus packaged models such as our “Crusher-Duty” soft starters. Our soft starters feature a universal voltage input which can accommodate 200-600VAC, 200-400VAC and 380-690VAC 3-phase input supply. Modbus, Profibus, DeviceNet and RS485 options are available.
