Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi RSE4012-B Soft Starter?
The Carlo Gavazzi RSE4012-B is a compact and reliable three-phase AC semiconductor motor controller (soft starter) designed for controlled starting and stopping of three-phase induction motors. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi RSE series motor controller range, it provides smooth acceleration, reduced mechanical stress and improved motor operation in industrial automation applications.
This DIN rail mounted soft starter uses semiconductor control technology with integrated bypass to provide efficient motor management while reducing the current surge associated with direct-on-line starting. The RSE series includes adjustable ramp functions, initial torque adjustment, LED indication and built-in transient overvoltage protection for dependable operation in industrial environments.
With a 12 A rated operating current, a 340–460 V AC operating voltage range and support for three-phase motors up to 5.5 kW at 400 V AC, the RSE4012-B is ideal for compact motor control applications requiring reliable soft starting and stopping.
