Widely used across a variety of Australian industries, soft starters deliver a smarter, more cost-effective way to protect your motors and equipment from the get-go.
For fixed speed applications that don’t require variable speed control, a soft starter is one of the most practical and highest-ROI upgrades you can make to your motor control system
In such operations, soft starters manage high-inertia loads like crushers, conveyers, and blowers. They provide motor monitoring and protection functions to minimise downtime and extend equipment life.
Soft starters prevent water hammer in pumps by providing smooth start/stop curves. This protects pipes and systems in treatment plants and irrigation networks.
Soft starters eliminate torsional stress on HVAC systems like compressors and fans. This minimises sudden energy spikes, extending equipment life in commercial buildings and applications.
Applied to pumps and fixed-speed motors, soft starters cut inrush currents for reliable operation in water management and irrigation systems.
Suitable for fans, saws, conveyors, and compressors, soft starters enhance efficiency in food, beverage, and processing lines by limiting peak currents.

Yes, it comes with a built-in internal bypass contactor. This eliminates the need for an external contactor. While active, it continues to monitor and protect the motor.
No. A soft starter cannot fully replace a VSD. A soft starter only manages smooth motor startup and stopping without providing speed or frequency control during operation. If you require a VSD instead of a soft starter, explore our VSD solutions here.
Yes. Soft starters primarily save energy during motor startup by limiting inrush currents. For applications like HVAC systems and pumps, soft starters scut startup surges, improving energy usage and extending equipment life.
Choosing the right soft starter involves matching it to your motor’s power rating, load type, and environmental conditions while prioritising key protection features.
A soft starter is an electronic motor control device that gradually increases the voltage supplied to an electric motor during startup. By controlling the voltage ramp-up, it significantly reduces inrush current and mechanical stress compared to direct-on-line (DOL) starting.
A soft starter limits peak starting currents to around 2–4 times full-load current while controlling torque to ensure smooth, controlled acceleration. Many models also include a soft-stop functionality. This helps prevent issues such as water hammers in pump systems or mechanical shock in driven equipment.
Widely used across industrial applications, soft starters help extend equipment lifespan by minimising energy consumption/spikes during startup.
7.5kW to 450kW, all with built-in keypads and bypass contactors.
Emotron TSA Soft Starters are all manufactured in Sweden.
We supply Emotron TSA Series, which is a dual- rated Soft Starter (Normal Duty / Heavy Duty). Application must be stated at the time of quoting for us to correctly assist in sizing the Soft Starter. For more information, see Product Technical Data or contact your local sales representative for assistance.
We supply the Emotron TSA Soft Starter as IP20. We can engineer a solution to supply up to IP66 with the addition of a line contactor and other gear as per customer request and requirement.
