Ralspeed supply a comprehensive selection of PETER Electronic soft starters, including the SAS, Duostart, Ministart, and Versistart ranges; particularly popular is the Versicomb II range which, with its integrated bypass delay, braking contactor and standstill detection, is perfect for all asynchronous motors. As well as single soft starter units, Ralspeed can also provide fully-enclosed units, designed and built to bespoke specifications to suit the individual requirements of any application. Please contact us for more details and to discuss your unique requirements. Ralspeed was founded in 1988 with the purpose of manufacturing soft-start units of the highest quality. Our products were an instant success and allowed the company to grow and evolve, developing, producing and distributing several new products including wide ranging overload units and variable speed drives. In August 2007, an exciting move to a new facility provided further opportunities for growth, particularly with the installation of a full, state-of-the-art panel workshop. We presently offer total motor control solutions. These solutions are as diverse as our customers, with products ranging from the small, simple 1.5kw soft-start module to the customised, purpose-built 1200kw variable speed drive panels and more recently containerised solutions. Our hire service is incredibly popular and accessing it is an easier, more intuitive experience on our new website. The range contains starters from 1 to 500kw, VSDs from 15 to 200kw, the Ultrasonic Control Panel and Ral TXT Telemetry units. At the heart of Ralspeed is our extensive array of soft-starters, which includes items from the Duostart, Torq-Master and S.A.S. ranges. Extensive information is provided online for each product and our skilled technical team will continue to provide further details on request.
