  • MVE-P Series Medium Voltage Soft Starters

Benshaw’s MVE-P Series Medium Voltage Soft Starter is a powerful, reliable solution for your medium voltage motor starting requirements. MVE-P Series soft starters bring together sophisticated soft starter motor control functionality in a robust, compact configuration.

Available in NEMA1, NEMA 12, NEMA 3R and outdoor rated enclosures, Benshaw’s MVE-P Series Soft Starter is a complete E2 starter offering which includes a load break disconnect switch, an in‐line vacuum contactor and a fully rated bypass vacuum contactor, as well as built-in motor overload protection. Extensive personnel safety features, an easy-to-use graphical interface, and comprehensive built-in motor/load protection make this a well balanced solution for your medium voltage needs.

In addition to standard packages, we can also supply custom cabinets to deliver a complete line-up to meet your requirements.

Safety and Ease-of-Use

Low voltage circuits are fully isolated from the medium voltage power electronics, using a high quality fiber-optic connection. To simplify commissioning, MVE-P Series starters support testing with a low voltage motor to fully test power and control circuits using the built-in simulation modes.

The MVE-P’s phase arms have been designed for maximum versatility in installation. For common ratings, power terminations can be made at either the top or bottom of the input and output busbars. Modular design means each phase arm is separate, and can be individually removed for maintenance if required.

Standard Control Features
