ASTAT XT Soft Starter

Digital Soft Starters for 3ph Standard Induction Motors

Description

GE’s new solid state ASTAT XT Soft Starter features microprocessor
control digital technology. Setup and adjustment is performed
through a six-button keypad and parameters or messages are
displayed through a user-friendly LCD multi-language interface
with two rows, sixteen alphanumeric characters each. The design
includes isolated I/O and a high level of protection in circuits to
minimize the disturbance effects while working in the harshest
industrial environment.

ASTAT XT Soft Starter offers reliable performance and smooth
acceleration for a variety of standard AC motors, up to 1400A
and up to 690V, reducing mechanical shock to the driving
system, resulting in extended component and motor life.

ASTAT XT Soft Starter offers many traditional features such as
a motor overload function, adjustable ramps, current limit ,
kick start, as well as other high end features like inside-delta
operation, torque control, pump control and a reliable motor
and unit set of protections.
