·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

·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 

·Smaller in size than specialized soft starters for mining equipment, it offers a higher cost-performance ratio and is suitable for applications with limited installation space, as well as for light loads such as fans and water pumps

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.
