Experience the Evolution of Soft Starters

The DriveStart is optimized for applications that require a low starting current and/or a high starting torque:

Provides full torque start;
Starts at nominal motor current or lower;
Enables motor starting from weak electrical networks;
Reduces motor heat at start enabling use of standard motors;
Saving costs, energy and space while meeting top performance requirements;
Significantly lower price point than a Medium Voltage VFD, yet providing similar soft start and soft stop features;
Integrated bypass ensures no energy loss during operation, reducing energy waste and operational costs;
Peak demand reduction;
Streamlined design translating to at least 50% reduction in space requirements vs. a VFD with comparable performance.
