DRIVESTART. IGBT-BASED MEDIUM VOLTAGE SOFT STARTER UP TO 6,6 KV 500 A.

ONLY! The first IGBT-based medium voltage soft starter. Optimized for applications requiring low starting current and / or high starting torque.

Provides all starting torque.
Starts with rated motor current or less.
Allows engine starting from weak lines.
Reduces heating in the engine during start-up by allowing the use of standard engines.

Save costs, energy and space while meeting the highest requirements.

More economical than a medium voltage VFD, providing similar soft start and stop characteristics.
The integrated bypass ensures power loss-free operation, reducing energy waste and operating cost.
Reduction of peak demand.
Streamlined design translating into at least a 50% reduction in required space versus a VDF with comparable performance.

Voltage up to 6.6 Kv 50/60 Hz + 10% – 15%
Power range up to 6.6 Kv, 5 Mw.
Starting current from 10% to 120% of the rated motor current.
100% FLC starting capacity at 50ºC, numerous starts.
Starting torque up to 160% of the rated motor torque.
Internal synchronization system (bypass), from DriveStart to line and vice versa.
Soft start and soft stop.
Multi-boot capability.
Electronic voltage and current transformer (EPCT) voltage and current are measured via fiber optics.
Integrated data logger and wave capture for all important system signals including current and voltage for remote diagnosis and fault analysis (optional).
