The integrated bypass function activates once the motor reaches nominal speed, allowing direct connection to the supply. This minimises energy losses, leading to considerable efficiency improvements during prolonged operations.

Adjustable starting and deceleration times allow users to fine-tune the motor's acceleration and braking processes, reducing wear on mechanical components and enhancing overall system stability. This flexibility is crucial for applications requiring precise motion control.

It is suitable for asynchronous motors, particularly those operating within the 7.5 kW to 11 kW range, utilising a 3-phase power supply. This versatility makes it highly applicable in various industrial environments.

The soft starter includes electromagnetic compatibility measures conforming to multiple standards, ensuring protection against conducted and radiated emissions. This capability helps maintain reliable operation despite potential electrical interference in industrial settings.
