Why Use Soft Starter with Bypass Contractor and Variable Frequency Drive?

Veikongelectric12 Jan, 2022Other

Any engineer using a variable frequency drive needs a bypass contractor and soft starter to efficient and reliable function of three-phase motors. Using a drive with an in-built soft starter and bypass offers significant benefits in itself, such as minimizing shock to mechanical parts, extending system lifespan, increasing reliability, reducing downtime, and lowering costs. A bypass contractor connected with a VKS-8000 Bypass Soft Starter reduces the need for integrating additional components, which reduces enclosure size and installation time. Bypass contractor drastically minimizes heat produced by the starter, which eventually decreases voltage drop and cuts heat build-up in the starter.
