{"title":"Soft Starters","description":"\u003cp\u003eShop soft starters for pump sets, compressors, chillers and fans across the UAE — ABB PSTX units rated 142A, 250A and 300A for 208–600V AC supplies, sized for medium and large three-phase motors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy not start the motor direct-on-line?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA motor switched straight across the line draws roughly six to eight times its full-load current for the first few seconds, plus a mechanical shock. On a large pump that means voltage dip on the supply, hammering in the pipework and wear on couplings and belts. A soft starter ramps the voltage so current and torque build gradually, then hands to a bypass at full speed. It also gives a controlled stop, which matters where an abrupt stop causes water hammer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow do I size one?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSize on the motor's full-load current and duty, not the kilowatt figure alone. Rated current must sit above motor FLC with margin for how it starts — long ramps, high-inertia loads and frequent starts all push you up a size. Check the supply sits inside the 208–600V band, and remember a starter is not short-circuit protection: isolation and a breaker or fuses still belong upstream in the panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSoft starter or variable speed drive?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA soft starter controls starting and stopping only — once running, the motor turns at full speed. A VFD regulates speed continuously and suits duties where flow or airflow must vary. Where the problem is inrush and mechanical stress at start-up, the soft starter is simpler and cheaper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSizing, installation, parameter setting and commissioning are work for a qualified electrical engineer or licensed electrician — these are three-phase devices operating at up to 600V.
