CSX Soft Starter
< 200A
200 - 575V
Soft start pure and simple
The CSX soft starter employs a timed voltage ramp system, which provides you with greater control over soft start and soft stop performance, reducing energy costs and enhancing the efficiency of your motor.
Simple operation features and the built-in bypass function are housed in a compact package, giving a cost-effective solution for stopping and starting control.

Highlights
Compact Design
The CSX is suitable for mounting in a switchboard or motor control centre without the need for an external bypass contactor. At only 165mm deep, it is easy to mount in shallow switchboards.
Energy Savings
CSX is equipped with an internal bypass function to reduce operating costs. CSX starters are 99.5% efficient during run, produce no harmonics, and are the most energy efficient solution for fixed speed applications with variable load.
Simple to Integrate
With features such as dedicated output relays to control the upstream main contactor and power factor correction capacitors, CSX soft starters are easy to integrate into complete motor control solutions.
Economical
The CSX employs a timed voltage ramp system, which provides you with greater control over soft start and soft stop performance, reducing energy costs and enhancing the efficiency of your motor.
