Soft Start

GE offers 3 lines of ASTAT solid state reduced voltage starters. The ASTAT SD is a line of compact, high performance three phase starters, available to 25hp @ 460v. The SD is a full functional soft starter with complete starting/stopping control and fault diagnostics. The ASTAT IBP Plus is a line of bypass solid state starters featuring a fully rated bypass contactor. These starters are rated up to 300HP @ 460v. The design is completely wired allowing quick, simple installation into either new or existing installations as a replacement for traditional starters. Bypass contactors are a must for enclosed installations where free air movement is not possible. The ASTAT CD Plus is the most full featured starter in the ASTAT line-up. Parameters include soft start voltage ramp, kick-start, current limiting, an energy saving feature, thermistor input, soft stop, pump control, DC injection breaking, communications, jog/slow speed and tachometer feedback.
