CSXi Series Protected Chassis Soft Starters
Benshaw CSXi Series Low Voltage Protected Chassis Soft Starters are compact, easy-to-use soft starters with built-in motor protection. CSXi Series soft starters provide greater control for starting and stopping of three phase motors, and, at only 6.5 inches (165mm) deep, are easy to mount in shallow enclosures.
Benshaw EMX4 Series Low Voltage Protected Chassis Soft Starters
Benshaw EMX4 Series Low Voltage Protected Chassis Soft Starters make it easy to access the right information … right when you need it! EMX4 Series starters include a comprehensive graphical display, quick setup menus and comprehensive starter/motor/system protection functions, complete with alarms to alert you to any potential issues. For critical must-run applications, Power Through and Emergency Run functions provide the ability to keep running even if you lose one phase.
Benshaw RB2 Series Open Chassis Soft Starters
The Benshaw RB2 Series Open Chassis Soft Starter is a compact, simple to use soft starter with built-in motor protection, providing greater control in starting and stopping of three phase motors. The unit’s integral bypass contactor reduces the watt loss of the soft starter, allowing these starters to be mounted in non-vented enclosures.

The Benshaw S Series is a compact yet powerful AC drive designed for the most demanding applications. Available in ‘normal duty’ ratings up to 15HP and ‘heavy duty’ ratings up to 10HP, the S Series puts you in control. Whether your application calls for V/Hz control, Sensorless Vector Control or Torque Control, the S Series has you covered. Modbus RTU is standard with optional communication cards available.
Benshaw SW Series Low Voltage NEMA 4X Washdown Drives
Benshaw SW Series NEMA 4X Washdown Drives are heavy duty rated for applications from 0.5-30HP. Designed for high pressure washdown, all SW Series drives feature a rugged UL Type 4X (IP66) indoor rated polycarbonate enclosure that exceeds NEMA 1, 12, 4 and 4X standards. A convenient built-in power disconnect switch, 4 digit, 7-segment display and an optional remote LCD Display/Keypad with a Quick Start menu, make it easy to program and control.
Benshaw H2 Series Low Voltage Variable Frequency Drives
Benshaw H2 Series drives set the standard for variable frequency drives. These drives can be used as a general purpose industrial drive with V/hz or Vector control (with ratings for normal or heavy duty applications from 5-800HP). For fan and pumps applications, simply use the built-in macros designed to meet the basic requirements of the water/wastewater, irrigation and HVAC industries. Built in communication protocols include Modbus-RTU, BACnet and Metasys-N2.
Drive Parts and Accessories:
- Remote keypads
- Communication interfaces
- NEM 1 conduit kits
- Mounting flanges
Full Voltage Controls
