This allows the Maxeff motor to receive power from the grid at only one third of its rated HP, automatically ramp up to 66% and then to full HP. This unique feature reduces inrush current and allows Maxeff motors to accelerate smoothly and progressively. This revolutionary soft start sequence allows Maxeff motors to start from generators half the size required by standard motors.

Soft start also allows you to start, stop and restart your Maxeff engines as often as needed without overheating or incurring excessive peak demand charges. This option is available on all Maxeff motors. All you have to do is order it, and it will all come in one box along with your Maxeff motor. You can also use this same unit as your complete motor control center. No additional components are required.
