ATA QB-H series medium-voltage soft starters are designed for the start, operation, stop control and protection of medium-voltage AC motors, serving as an ideal replacement for traditional direct-on-line, star-delta and autotransformer starters. They adopt computer control and power electronics technology, with medium-voltage high-power thyristors as main circuit components. By adjusting the thyristor conduction angle, they realize smooth voltage regulation and contactless motor start-stop. Starting the motor with optimal current, they reduce grid impact, vibration, noise and mechanical stress, and prolong equipment service life. Ideal for heavy-duty applications such as pumps, fans, compressors and crushers in mining, power, oil & gas and steel industries, they deliver robust performance with comprehensive protection features for demanding industrial environments.
Medium-voltage thyristors serve as the main circuit components, equipped with voltage
sharing protection and over-voltage protection systems.
Advanced optical fiber or magnetic ring transmission technology isolates the trigger
detection of medium-voltage thyristors from the low-voltage control circuit.
The advanced digital signal processor (DSP) executes core control, while the microcontroller manages data and communication—ensuring real-time, efficient device control, intuitive display, high reliability and good stability.
Multi-level signal processing and isolation technology gives the system strong anti-interference capability.
Chinese/English display, membrane keys, simple operation and user-friendly interface.
Equipped with RS-485 or Profibus communication interfaces, enabling communication
with upper computers or central control centers.
Ramp Voltage Control, Current Limiting Control, Ramp Current Control, Soft Stop Control.
Local Button Starting, Keyboard Key Starting, Upper Computer Remote Starting, Combination Starting.
