Benshaw Soft Starters

Low Voltage Soft Starters

Benshaw offers a complete range of open chassis, enclosed chassis and packaged low voltage soft start solutions. Our standard duty soft starters (e.g. CSXI Series) are ideal for a wide range of basic soft start applications. Advanced models provide “Smart Card” flexibility and added protection for heavy duty (e.g. EMX4 Series) applications, and our MX3 motor control technology (e.g. RB3 Series) for severe duty applications.

All low voltage soft starters from Benshaw provide:

• Solid state reduced voltage

ABB Soft Starters

ABB's Soft Starter is an electrical device connected between the main power and the motor. The Soft Starters increase a motor's lifetime by protecting it from electrical stresses. With many built-in motor protection features, your motor is safe in its hands. The Soft Starter is also easy to learn and set-up.

PSTX Soft Starters

The advanced range

PSTX is the most complete alternative for any motor starting application. Featuring built-in modbus and anybus modules that support all major communication protocols.

PSE Soft Starters

The efficient range

The new generation PSE is a true general purpose soft starter. It’s a perfect balance between high starting capacity and cost efficiency. Now featuring built-in fieldbus communication.

PSR Soft Starters

The compact range

PSR is our most compact soft starter with basic benefits and values. PSR can handle up to 100 starts per hour. Suitable for small motors.

PSRC Soft Starters

For scroll compressor

PSRC is fast and easy to install with fixed settings. Designed for scroll compressors results in less stress on the compressor reducing the maintenance cost to a minimum.

Allen-Bradley Soft Starters

Soft Starters, Low Voltage

Allen-Bradley Smart Motor Controllers™ are soft starters that are designed to help minimize cost by reducing overall system power requirements and wear and tear on equipment. These soft starters can be easily integrated into your intelligent motor control solution to offer higher productivity and shorter downtimes. They are an ideal alternative to a drive where a more cost-effective, simple solution is required.

SMC-50 Soft Starters

SMC™-50 soft starters are available with a current range from 108…480 A. SMC-50 fully solid-state soft starters are available from 90...520 A. Advanced monitoring and protection functions, superior communication capability, and energy saver mode all help this soft starter increase efficiency and reduce downtime.

SMC Flex Low Voltage Soft Starters

SMC™ Flex Soft Starters are available with a current range from 5...1250 A. They feature integral bypass and flexible communications with advanced performance, diagnostics, and protection.

SMC-3 Low Voltage Soft Starters

SMC™-3 Soft Starters are available with a current range from 3...480 A. They feature compact, true three-phase control in a cost-effective package. They include overload protection, integral bypass, and motor and system diagnostics.

STC Starting Torque Controllers

Bulletin 154 STC™ Starting Torque Controllers provide a cost-effective, soft-starting solution for low horsepower single- and three-phase squirrel cage induction motors. Starting torque controllers help reduce mechanical and electrical stress on motor circuits and systems by limiting voltage at startup. This avoids the over-torque and over-current conditions that happen when direct-on-line circuits are completed, like when a basic motor control contactor closes.
