AuCom Soft Starters

AuCom soft starters offer a range of benefits that make them a popular choice for managing motor-driven applications across various industries. Here are some key advantages:

Reduced Mechanical Stress:

By providing a controlled ramp-up to full speed, AuCom soft starters reduce the mechanical stress on motors and the equipment they drive. This smooth start minimizes wear and tear, extending the lifetime of both the motor and the mechanical components it interacts with.

Improved Energy Efficiency:

Soft starters like those from AuCom optimize the use of energy during the motor's start-up phase. This can significantly lower peak power demand and reduce peak energy consumption, which is particularly beneficial in systems with large motors.

Enhanced Motor Control:

These devices offer precise control over start and stop parameters, which helps in avoiding issues such as water hammer in pumping systems or stress on drive components in conveyor systems. This level of control is crucial for applications requiring careful handling of the load.

AuCom soft starters provide robust protection for motors, including features like overload protection, phase-loss protection, and undercurrent/overcurrent protection. These safeguards help prevent damage to the motor and associated electrical components, thus reducing downtime and repair costs.

AuCom soft starters come equipped with intuitive interfaces that make setup, monitoring, and troubleshooting straightforward. These interfaces often include digital displays and connectivity options for integration with industrial control systems.

AuCom offers soft starters that are suitable for a wide range of applications, from small pumps and fans to large compressors and conveyors. This versatility ensures that users can find a suitable model for virtually any application.

Because soft starters generally require less complex wiring and fewer additional components compared to other motor starting methods (like VFDs), they can be less expensive and simpler to install.

Soft starters cause fewer electrical disturbances, including reduced harmonic generation compared to methods like direct online starts or star-delta starts. This can be crucial in environments sensitive to electrical noise and harmonics.

These benefits make AuCom soft starters a reliable and efficient choice for managing the startup and operation of electric motors in a variety of industrial and commercial applications.
