Benshaw Soft Starters
Benshaw soft starters are designed to provide controlled motor starting, ensuring smooth acceleration and deceleration for a wide range of industrial applications. By gradually ramping up voltage to the motor, Benshaw soft starters reduce mechanical stress, limit inrush current, and prevent sudden torque surges, protecting both the motor and connected equipment. This controlled start-up process is ideal for applications like pumps, fans, compressors, and conveyors, where direct online starting could cause excessive wear or damage.
Known for their durability and reliability, Benshaw soft starters are often used in demanding environments such as mining, oil and gas, water treatment, and manufacturing. They are built to handle heavy-duty applications and are equipped with advanced features like motor protection, thermal overload protection, and fault detection, ensuring safe operation even under challenging conditions. Some models include built-in bypass contactors, which improve efficiency by reducing heat generation during steady-state operation.
