Benshaw MVRXE18150041603R Dual Redundant Solid State Soft Starter

The Benshaw MVRXE18150041603R is a dual redundant solid state soft starter designed for medium voltage applications, providing reliable motor control for large industrial motors up to 1500 HP. This unit features advanced solid state technology that ensures smooth acceleration and deceleration, reducing mechanical stress on motors and driven equipment, which extends equipment life and minimizes downtime. Key benefits include dual redundancy for high reliability in critical operations, built-in bypass contactor for energy efficiency during full-speed operation, and comprehensive protection features such as overload, phase loss, and short circuit safeguards. It is ideal for applications in industries like mining, oil and gas, water treatment, and manufacturing, where starting high-inertia loads like pumps, fans, compressors, and conveyors is common. Compared to traditional electromechanical starters, it offers superior energy savings, reduced inrush current (up to 500% reduction), and digital controls for precise tuning. Drawbacks may include higher initial cost and the need for skilled installation. Based on attached images, this unit appears used, with some environmental wear but intact components; it includes control panels, fuses, and wiring.
