Eaton DS7 Soft Starter 460V ac, 3 kW, 3 Phase, IP20

Safeguard your machinery from electrical hazards with this soft starter from Eaton. It gradually increases the voltage supplied to your 3-phase electric motors during startup, which helps reduce the initial high inrush current and prevents damage to your equipment. The unit features internal bypass contacts that route current away from the starter when the motor reaches full speed, minimising energy use and cutting down on heat production. A minimum ramp time of one second ensures smooth and controlled motor acceleration and reduces strain on connected devices. You'll find this component commonly used to support conveyor systems and ventilation equipment.

• Tightening torque of 1.2Nm for secure attachment to machinery by hand
