EMX4i Soft Starter

Amps 1 1  < 1250A    Volts 1 1  200-690V

Redefining soft starters

EMX4i Soft Starters sets the standard for soft start technology. Not only are they smaller, more powerful and packed with control and protection features, but they also introduce the game-changing Smart Card capability. Fitting a Smart Card to the EMX4 transforms it from super smart motor controller to complete system controller. This is truly a starter for the future.

Highlights

Simple To Use
Smart does not have to mean complex. While the EMX4 offers more functionality than ever before, it has been designed to make your life easier.
Smart Card
The EMX4 Smart Card redefines the role of a soft starter. With the appropriate Smart Card installed the EMX4 is able to operate as an entire system controller.
Energy Efficiency
EMX4i is equipped with an internal bypass function to reduce operating costs. EMX4i starters are 99.5% efficient during run, produce no harmonics, and are the most energy efficient solution for fixed speed applications with variable load.
