Eaton Soft Starter, 15 kW, 460 V ac, 3 Phase, IP20

When it comes to getting your motor running, easy does it with this soft starter from Eaton. It gradually increases the current supplied to a device during startup, so you get smooth and controlled acceleration. This minimises mechanical and electrical stress to help ensure a long service life for your equipment. Internal bypass contacts open once the motor has reached full speed, meaning less power is lost to heat for energy efficiency. You can mount this soft starter onto a DIN rail as part of a stable and organised system.

• 3-phase setup for compatibility with industrial electrical systems
• IP20 rating means it's touch-proof and resistant to dust
• Screw terminals help you make secure connections quickly

The benefits of using a soft starter vary according to the application. Starting a fan slowly can avoid belt slippage, while starting a conveyor system smoothly avoids stress on the drive components. When used with a pump, a soft starter can help you avoid rapid changes in flow. This stops water hammer or pressure surges from damaging system components.
