Dold BA9019/100 3AC50/60HZ 200-480V 3KW | Softstarter, Part N: 0058941

Softstarters are electronic devices designed to enable 3-phase induction motors to start smoothly. The BA 9019 slowly ramps up the current on two phases, therefore allowing the motor torque to build up slowly. This reduces the mechanical stress on the machine and prevents damage to conveyed material. When the motor is up to full speed the semiconcutors in BA 9019 are bridged to prevent internal power losses and heat build up. In addition BA 9019 allows a softstop function prolonging the stop time of the motor, preventing high counter torques from abruptly stopping the motor.
