  • Protection from damage and downtime

    Soft starts and stops protect your equipment. Reduced start currents result in smaller fuses, cables, and energy bills. Controlled stops eliminate the risk of water hammer and other costly damage.

    A built-in shaft power monitor and unique Load Curve Protection function protect your process by immediately detecting any situation that could cause inefficiency or damage. Early warning and safety stops allow preventative action.
