When powering high-power motors in industrial settings, stability, safety, and efficiency are non-negotiable. Our 160kW soft starter cabinet is engineered as a premium Industrial soft start control cabinet to address the pain points of direct motor startup—such as destructive inrush currents, grid fluctuations, and mechanical wear. As a specialized High-power motor soft starter, it’s designed to seamlessly handle 160kW motor loads, making it the ideal choice for heavy-duty industrial equipment like large pumps, fans, compressors, and conveyor systems. Whether you need a standalone 160kW motor control cabinet or an integrated solution for your production line, this cabinet delivers reliable performance that meets global industrial standards.

As a leading Heavy-duty soft starter control, this cabinet is equipped with the ABB PSTX series high-power soft starter—specifically calibrated for 160kW motors. Its advanced voltage ramp start technology reduces inrush current to just 2-3x the rated value (compared to 6-8x with direct-on-line starting), eliminating grid voltage sags and preventing damage to motor windings and mechanical transmissions. The built-in soft stop function ensures gradual deceleration, minimizing shock to belts, gears, and bearings, and extending the lifespan of your entire equipment ecosystem.
Our 160kW soft starter cabinet integrates a Siemens S7-200 SMART PLC and a user-friendly SMART LINE touchscreen HMI, offering dual control modes (manual/automatic) for maximum flexibility. Locally, you can real-time monitor key parameters (current, voltage, operating time, temperature) and adjust startup time, protection thresholds, or bypass settings with just a few taps. Remotely, it syncs seamlessly with industrial automation systems, enabling centralized control of multiple units—perfect for complex production lines. Faults trigger instant on-screen alerts and error code logging, cutting troubleshooting time by 50%.
Safety is at the core of this Industrial soft start control cabinet, featuring a comprehensive protection system:
- Electrical Protection: Chint NXM-400S circuit breaker (short circuit/overload protection), phase loss/overvoltage/undervoltage/overtemperature protection built into the soft starter, and thermal overload relay backup.
- Physical Protection: Standard cold-rolled steel cabinet (optional 304/316 stainless steel) with IP54 rating (dustproof, waterproof, and debris-proof), plus a transparent safety shield for high-voltage zones—ensuring safe operation in harsh industrial environments (dusty workshops, humid pump stations, corrosive chemical plants).
- Thermal Management: Industrial-grade cooling fans maintain optimal operating temperatures, even during 24/7 continuous use.
This 160kW motor control cabinet is designed for compatibility with your existing setup. It connects upstream to power distribution panels for stable power input and downstream to motor control boxes for local backup operation. As a versatile High-power motor soft starter, it pairs perfectly with our 135kW soft starter cabinet to cover mixed-load projects, supporting everything from single-motor applications to multi-unit industrial systems. Its modular design also allows for easy customization (e.g., adding extra protection modules or communication ports like Modbus/RJ45).
As a robust Heavy-duty soft starter control, this cabinet is tailored for industrial environments requiring reliable high-power motor control:
- Water & Wastewater: Large water pumps in municipal water supply stations, aeration blowers in sewage treatment plants.
- Manufacturing: Compressors, exhaust fans, and heavy-duty conveyors in cement factories, chemical plants, and metallurgical facilities.
- Energy & Power: Cooling fans and circulating pumps for waste heat recovery systems and generator sets.
- Heavy Machinery: High-power drive motors in mining equipment and industrial processing machinery.
