Reduced Current Motor Starting

Star delta starters such as the Lovato BFA01870024 reduce the high inrush current associated with direct-on-line motor starting by initially connecting motor windings in a star configuration before switching to delta operation. This helps minimise voltage dips, thermal stress and mechanical wear during motor startup.

The open-frame construction makes the starter suitable for integration into custom control panels and OEM machinery assemblies. Its industrial-grade components provide dependable operation across a wide range of automation and motor control applications.

Typical Applications

• Industrial pumps and water systems.
• Compressors and refrigeration equipment.
• Conveyor and material handling systems.
• Industrial ventilation equipment.
• OEM machinery and automation systems.
• Control panels requiring reduced-current motor starting.
