Common questions:
– How to avoid voltage drops when starting?
– ABB softstarter will reduce the starting current
and thereby avoid the voltage drops.
– How to avoid water hammering when stopping?
– Use our softstarters equipped with an optimized
stop ramp or even better with torque control.
– How to ensure high reliability in harsh environments?
– Use our softstarters equipped with coated circuit
boards to better withstand those environments.
– How to protect my pumping equipment in the best
possible way?
– Use ABB softstarters equipped with our special
designed protections such as overload, underload,
and locked rotor protection.
