Softstarters - Reliable inrush
current limiters and
startup current limiters
Our softstarters – also known as soft-start devices, inrush current limiters, and starting current limiters – offer you a reliable solution for the smooth and energy-efficient startup of motors. We carry single-phase, two-phase, and three-phase softstarters with various technical specifications for applications ranging from 3 A to 1,250 A and 200 V to 480 V.

Softstarters – Applications
Our softstarters have been tested for the following applications: saws, milling machines, planers, cutting machines, dryers, conveyor systems, elevators, belt drives, chain drives, travel and rotation mechanisms, mills, presses, crushers, door and gate drives, vibrators, transformer softstarts, electric pumps, heat pumps, vacuum pumps, fans and blowers, cranes, overhead cranes, extraction systems, compressors, agitators, centrifuges, pressure washers, vibrating screens, vibrating conveyors, and offset printing presses.
Our Standard – Your Advantage
Our softstarters enable low-wear, gentle starts for your machines and systems. They prevent unnecessary, jerky movements and high mechanical stresses during startup, as well as the current spikes that otherwise occur when motors start up.
With softstart systems from PETER electronic, you can reduce your ongoing maintenance costs and extend the service life of your equipment. Rely on our expertise and many years of experience. We’d also be happy to develop a customized solution for you. All PETER electronic soft-start units are “Made in Germany.”
