Soft starters, also known as static starters or reduced voltage starters, are solid-state devices designed to control the acceleration and deceleration of three-phase induction motors by gradually increasing the applied voltage. Unlike variable frequency drives, soft starters do not regulate speed but limit inrush current and torque during startup, reducing mechanical stress on the motor and driven load. LOVATO ELECTRIC offers a comprehensive range of soft starters with ratings from 3.5A to 1050A, covering motor powers from 0.75kW to 560kW at 400V AC. Key technical features include adjustable starting and stopping ramps, current limiting, kick-start for high-friction loads, and built-in bypass contactors for energy efficiency. These devices support 3-phase systems with voltages up to 690V AC and include protection functions such as overload, phase loss, and over-temperature monitoring. The series includes models with integrated digital displays for parameter setting and diagnostics, as well as communication options via Modbus RTU for integration into industrial networks.
Soft starters from LOVATO ELECTRIC are primarily deployed in motor control centers (MCCs), industrial automation panels, and pumping stations. They are ideal for applications requiring smooth motor starting to prevent water hammer in pump systems, reduce belt slippage in conveyors, and minimize gear wear in crushers and mills. Common sectors include water and wastewater treatment, HVAC, mining, cement, and material handling. These devices are also used in agricultural irrigation systems and marine applications where controlled starting extends equipment life. The compact design allows for easy installation in standard distribution boards, while the IP20 enclosures suit clean indoor environments.
The LOVATO ELECTRIC soft starter range is organized into several subcategories based on current rating and features. The SM1 series covers lower currents from 3.5A to 32A for small motors, while the SM2 series handles 30A to 1050A for larger industrial drives. The SM3 series offers advanced functionality with built-in bypass and extended communication capabilities. Article codes follow a pattern like SM1-0035 for a 3.5A unit, SM2-0030 for 30A, and SM3-0100 for 100A. Each model includes variants for different supply voltages (230V or 400V control) and optional accessories such as remote keypads and network adapters. The range also includes standalone bypass contactors and thermal overload relays for complete motor starting solutions.
