Description

Explosion proof soft starter panels engineered to reduce inrush current, minimize mechanical shock, and extend motor service life during startup. Ideal for larger motors and process lines that need smoother acceleration. These products are engineered for hazardous locations where certified enclosure structure, component selection, cable entry, heat management, and safe operation are essential. Depending on project scope, GN Smart Control can support local operation, remote start/stop, indication, alarms, interlocks, communication, and packaged integration with motors, instruments, and field devices.

Key Features

• Custom engineering based on hazardous area classification and project standards
• Reliable internal layout for operation, protection, and maintenance access
• Support for local control, remote signals, alarms, interlocks, and communication
• Suitable for skid packages, fixed installations, and system integration projects

Typical Applications

large hazardous-area pumps, compressors, fans, crushers, and other heavy-duty motors that need reduced inrush current and smooth starting

Selection Information Required

• hazardous area classification and required certification
• motor power, rated current, voltage, starting duty, and load characteristics
• required bypass, protection, local or remote control, and communication interface
• enclosure type, heat dissipation method, cable entry arrangement, and ambient conditions
