• Soft Start*** The soft start lowers the starting
torque of the high-pressure pump motor,
and gradually brings the motor to full speed.
This reduces the initial startup amps required
to start the motor. The soft start is available
on single-phase systems and allows starting
of the system when the power/source, i.e.
generator, is marginal or insufficient to start the
system unassisted. By reducing the starting
torque of the motor, the system demands lower
initial power at startup and can operate on an
otherwise insufficient power source.
