Switching of fixed speed motors is realized by switching devices such as SIRIUS contactors, direct and reversing starters or soft starters. Besides their favorable cost-performance ratio, these devices are particularly characterized by their low power loss. This results in lower energy consumption as well as minimized cooling expenditures in the service room or control cabinet. Soft Starters or star-delta starters allow for soft motor start-up, which reduces electric and mechanical peak loads by up to 60%, thereby reducing the load on the motor and the energy consumed during start up.Click here for an informational video
