Voltage controllers – overview
How does a voltage controller work?
A voltage controller is similar in function to a soft starter.
In difference to the soft starter, which always increases the motor voltage up to the nominal voltage, the voltage controller remains in the partially or fully modulated range, depending on the specified setpoint. This allows the user to adjust the motor torque over a wide range.
It can also be used as a power controller for electric heaters.

The use of voltage controllers
Voltage controllers are used to control electric heaters, fans, and lighting.
They also find their use in capacitor motors, torque motors or external rotor motors.
