Applied Energy
Products: For Smooth Starting

Powerboss is one of the finest soft-starters in the world, with a wide range of adjustability that allows you to start even the most awkward load with ease. Fully adjustable ramp times from 0-255 seconds give you ultimate flexibility. For high inertia loads, the current limit feature will provide you with a reduced current start. A kick-start facility will help you to get things moving on loads with high static friction.

High in-rush current and uncontrolled torque when starting a motor will almost certainly cause problems over time, but there is a solution that is well proven and readily available. The advantages of using a soft-starter as opposed to direct-on-line or star-delta are well understood, both in terms of increased motor life and reduced maintenance.

Effectively, the soft start is an electronic clutch that provides a gradual uptake of power, with smooth, step-less acceleration, and less stress on equipment.

Using Powerboss as a soft-starter will improve control by:

  • Significantly increasing the life of contactors & drive-train components
  • Preventing dips in power supply when starting larger motors
  • Allowing motors to switch on and off at any time because of reduced start current
  • Reducing the threat of peak demand penalties

Powerboss is the soft-starter that pays for itself over time through its energy-optimization mode.
