Applications
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. Our soft starters are available with a characteristic ramp suited to start both compressors and pumps. It also includes a 'Kick-Start' feature to start loads with a higher break-away torque. Our soft start controllers are provided by internal bypass relays which eliminate the need for large external heatsinks. This feature minimizes the space requirements in your panel and also greatly reduces the heat generated.
