People Electric · Motor Soft Starter
Product overview
People Electric RDJR6 soft starters use controlled thyristors and microprocessor control to regulate AC asynchronous-motor starting and stopping. The manufacturer provides a discrete 5.5–320kW model range, matching rated currents, external-control terminals and bypass application diagrams.

Select motor power together with the motor nameplate current and starting duty. The standard installed-type models are listed here; cabinet construction and auxiliaries require confirmation. Final selection and commissioning must consider load torque, start frequency, bypass contactor and protection coordination. Obtain the current parameter-setting instructions for the supplied controller.
Typical applications
- Soft starting and stopping of AC asynchronous-motor driven equipment, after checking motor and driven-load requirements.
