SOFT-STARTER START
How does a soft-starter work?
The Soft-Starter start is based on its ease of control, to produce smooth and progressive starts according to the needs of the elevator. Electronic controller to achieve variable voltage and current limitation. See operating curves.

Features of Soft-starter starters
- Smooth starts without transitions or jumps, electronic control.
- Programming the engine start parameters:
- Boot time
- Engine starting torque
- Consumption current.
- Engine power limiter.
- Includes engine protections:
- Protections in case of phase failure.
- Line failure.
- Thyristor failure.
- Motor not connected.
Advantages of using a soft starter
- Maintenance-free component in your power circuit.
- Protection devices that do not need to be installed in the control panel.
- It includes: Protection of the motor against overloads as well as against incorrect operating conditions such as loss of a phase or blocked motor.
- Increases engine productivity and reliability by preventing sudden starts and stops.
- Malfunction signal.
