ASTAT S: Small soft starter with integral by-pass
ASTAT S is compact, easy to operate soft starter, designed for use with standard 3-phase squirrel cage motors. It provides an advanced method of reducing current during motor starting and stopping.
ASTAT S will start supplying a reduced voltage to the motor, increasing up to the rated voltage, so avoiding, high currents and generating soft starting and stopping.
The motor has to be able to start in a reduced voltage.

Electronic Overload Relay
Electronic overload relays have been designed primarily to protect electric motors and associated electrical circuits. These devices operate on the principle of monitoring the current in a motor starter circuit which, when the current exceeds a pre set condition, or there is a loss of current in any phase, the device will initiate a trip circuit which in turn causes the power to the starter (contactor) to be disconnected thus making the circuit safe.
