Shakti Pumps (India) has received a patent for inventing 'Method and apparatus for soft start, soft stop, protection & brown out operation of a grid-connected motor’. The Patent Office, Government of India, has awarded Shakti Pumps this patent, fully adhering to the provisions set forth in the Patents Act of 1970. This patent is set to maintain its validity for duration of 20 years, commencing from the date of filing. This is the 14th Patent that the company has secured.
This patented technology offers several key benefits for both motor and grid electrical systems. By gradually ramping up the motor speed, the soft starter reduces mechanical stress on the motor and connected equipment, extending the motor's lifespan and reducing maintenance costs. It provides a smooth and controlled start, eliminating the sudden torque and mechanical shock associated with traditional starting methods, which is particularly beneficial for sensitive equipment.
It enhances the reliability of power electronic circuits by providing input boost, thereby eliminating the risk of surges caused by voltage swells. Additionally, in pump applications, it aids in preventing water hammer and mechanical shock in piping systems.
Shakti Pumps (India) is a specialist in the manufacture of a broad range of submersible pumps and motors for a variety of applications.
