As experts in the field of motor control, our ultimate mission is to provide the best solution possible. If that’s a soft starter, rest assured that we know when to point you in that direction.

A reduced voltage soft starter (RVSS) is a device that gradually increases the voltage to a motor. These devices are used to prevent an excessive inrush current.

Engineers, operators, and electricians want their motors to live a long life and be as efficient as possible, and one of the more common ways they can is through the use of a Reduced Voltage Soft Starter (RVSS).

However, there are times when a soft starter is and isn't the right solution for your motor system. An RVSS carries a number of advantages, and they’re often compared with variable frequency drives (VFDs) in terms of their feasibility as a motor control solution. They are not, however, interchangeable, so it’s important to know when a soft starter would and wouldn’t be a smart idea.

Are you replacing a VFD and trying to fit it into a budget?

The local electrical utility has an interest in keeping demand controlled. They want to serve as many customers as possible with their existing infrastructure, so they try incentivizing saving energy. To do this, they offer rebates for equipment that can increase energy efficiency.

These rebates will typically cover 50% of the cost of a new variable frequency drive, although, at times, they cover as much as 75%.

Contact our experts if you are interested in a rebate and want to see what is available.

Keeping schools cool through the summer and warm in winter is a tall order to fill because it takes a lot of electricity, and the equipment also requires maintenance.

Our most recent article (link in the comments) Discusses how a VFD is great for controlling your HVAC system and possible rebates to help you stay under budget.

What options are there when dealing with aging infrastructure?

In every facility, eventually, your equipment will age to a point where it brakes down. But there are concepts that you can do to address those issues, and one of them is preventative maintenance.

Preventative maintenance enables you to inspect the equipment, identify issues, perform proactive reconditions, and keep equipment in the best condition possible.

Maintaining your equipment will last longer and save you money in the long run. When your equipment inevitably starts to fail, you will be able to identify the issue, plan the next steps sooner, and save yourself some stress.

Questions on proper preventative maintenance contact us today!

Why is aging infrastructure a problem?

Just like us, when equipment gets older, it starts to break down, and it becomes harder and harder to reliably perform the tasks it was intended to do.

Electrical equipment does have a shelf life. It won’t last forever, and the older it gets, the higher chance of a dangerous failure increases or longer downtime to fix. Aging infrastructure can be a problem for your facility, but we can help.

Contact our experts today for how you can solve your aging electrical infrastructure problem.

You might ask yourself, what is aging infrastructure, and how can you address it?

Well, that specific question is what our most recent article is about!

Aging infrastructure can be a headache everywhere you look. It means equipment fails or on the verge of falling apart. With budgets becoming tighter, replacing the entire system is out of the question.

So what do you do? Read our article (linked in the comments) and find out what your options are.
