Soft Start Drives - The soft
start technology constantly monitors the voltage and current
going to the motor. Some of the Applications for soft
start technology includes compressors, conveyors, pumps, saws,
mixers, shredders, and injection molding machines. The
advantages of soft starts are a reduced wear on mechanical
gears, chains and sprockets, and unexpected repair of broken
belts and jammed gearboxes, lower inventory of spare mechanical
parts and operating costs, increased production rates, prolonged
life of electrical switchgear with lower inrush currents, soft
stops on pumping applications and energy optimizing reduces
motor energy losses when operating motor below maximum capacity.

Soft Start Drives - Reducing energy consumption
in the United States has became a priority. Businesses are
looking for solutions to help save energy. One way is to
do this is to use a soft start drive. A soft start drive
starts the motor at a lower voltage, slowly ramping up to
operation voltage. Find out more soft start drive
advantages by clicking on the link.

"Phase Converters"
- VFDs, also known as variable frequency drives can
be used to control motor only type of loads. They cannot be used
for any type of non-motor 3 phase load. Find out more about VFD
Phase Converters from the US Phase Converter Standards
