·Linear acceleration of the motor and load

·Reduced mechanical stress on the motor shaft, load and drive train

·Ramp profiling to better match the type of load

·Reduce or limit motor starting currents

·Eliminate voltage dips on supply during motor starting

·Reduce maintenance costs with reduced stress on gears, belts and chains

·Eliminate belt squeal during starting fans

·Provide better control of pump motors to eliminate water hammer related problems

·Increased motor efficiency during acceleration and deceleration

·No instability issues due to changing power factor

·No tachometers or external speed feedback devices required

·Comply with local supply authority requirements regarding the starting of an electric motor

·Avoid high starting currents and current peaks which often make it necessary to increase supply capacity

·Greater protection for the motor, load and soft starter

·Comes with user-adjustable dual operation modes: continuous (no bypass ) and bypass 

·Specially designed for mining equipment, it features large dimensions, large modules, large radiators, and large copper bars, with a large amount of design redundancy to ensure long-term stable operation under harsh working conditions with high inertial loads

Provide a soft mechanical and electrical soft start to a 3 phase electric motor. The Horidel soft starter provides a superior soft start and soft stop with the choice of votlage ramp or a torque control ramp. The Smartstart 6000 includes SMART-TORQ, a unique 'Torque Control System' developed by Australia Zener to achieve linear rate of acceleration in motor speed.

The SmartStart 6000 combines a superior Torque Control System with a robust design to suit all types of loads and applications. A substantial heatsink mass with temperature controlled force ventilation is a standard feature to accommodate the more severe (heavy) duty applications and higher starts per hour.
