MVRNX Series "Next Gen" Medium Voltage Soft Starters

Ratings from 2300V - 4160V up to 3000HP

Reliable MV Technology, Future Ready

Benshaw’s MVRNX Series medium voltage soft start delivers advanced processor speed, motor protection, monitoring and communication capabilities. An easy-to-use, door-mounted HMI operator is included. The HMI displays waveforms and data sampling … ideal for ‘must run’, critical motor applications including pumping systems, compressors, conveyors and more!

Next level NX technology takes motor control into the future delivering all the functionality and rugged, dependable performance that you’ve come to expect from a Benshaw product, while allowing wireless connectivity, seamless troubleshooting, advanced monitoring, and even more configurable options.

The NX controller comes standard with cyber secured Bluetooth capabilities allowing you to seamless and safely connect to your equipment through a phone app to shorten commissioning times and improve troubleshooting. The NX controller has been designed to meet global standards and is RoHS compliant.

The PLC type architecture of the controller allows for options to be easily integrated into the system, and the upgraded HMI shows wave forms and data sampling to quickly troubleshoot any issues to get the system back up and running.
