Starter Panel

A Starter Panel, also known as a Motor Starter Panel, is an essential electrical control panel used to start, stop, and protect electric motors in various applications. Its primary function is to regulate the initial power flow to motors, ensuring smooth operation while safeguarding them from electrical faults such as overloads, short circuits, and phase failures. Starter panels are designed to optimize motor performance, extend equipment life, and enhance system reliability.

One of the key benefits of a starter panel is its ability to limit inrush current during motor startup, preventing electrical stress on the system. It also provides controlled and smooth motor acceleration, reducing mechanical wear and improving operational efficiency. Depending on the application and motor size, different types of starters are integrated within the panel. These include Direct-On-Line (DOL) Starters for small motors up to ~5 HP, Star-Delta Starters for medium-sized motors ranging from 5 HP to 75 HP, Soft Starters for smooth acceleration and reduced torque, and VFD Panels (Variable Frequency Drives) for precise speed control and energy savings.

Starter panels are widely used in systems that rely on motor-driven equipment such as water pumps, HVAC units, industrial machinery, conveyors, and compressors. At Amtech Power, we deliver robust, application-specific Starter Panels built with high-quality components, offering dependable motor control and protection across diverse industries.
