Somar Integra SI: Intelligent Optimised Motor Control

Intelligent Motor Control is fast becoming an 'Industry Standard' as responsible Managers are recognising that with the on-going turbulence in energy prices they cannot leave their motors running inefficiently with no control. The effective control of motor driven applications offers a very real opportunity to offset energy price rises, and defend (or increase) profit margins.

The culmination of 20 years of operational excellence, the Somar Integra SI offers intelligent optimised motor control to your applications, enabling you to improve the working environment whilst reducing down-time, manufacturing risks, power consumption and costs.

What Is Somar Intelligent Optimised Motor Control?

In simple terms, Somar have taken well established soft start technology a stage further by introducing additional intelligence - this not only controls the motor when it starts, but also as it is running and when it stops.

Our very latest range of motor controllers, the Somar Integra SI, are fully adjustable and come with a integrated collection of highly optimised presets for a wide range of applications at no extra cost: these have been tested and refined extensively in real-world environments. Much more than just a simple soft starter, the Integra SI controls the starting, running and stopping of the motor to deliver the maximum performance for the minimum maintenance and energy costs.

The Somar Integra SI range is simply the best choice for controlling and optimising single-phase and three-phase fixed-speed AC induction motors.

What Can Somar Integra Technology Do For You?

Whether you are involved in financial, environmental, or operational management, the Somar Integra SI intelligent motor control system can help you to meet your targets.

Somar Integra SI will bring you the following benefits:

  • Controlling motor starting, running and stopping to match application needs will reduce wear and tear, thereby lowering maintenance costs and machinery down-time.
  • Minimising unnecessary energy consumption reduces excess heat, noise and vibration, thus improving working conditions and reducing HVAC load.
  • Optimised running control reduces power consumption and enables more machinery to use the same supply.
  • Lower energy consumption reduces the carbon footprint, lower carbon tax overheads and helps to meet environmental goals.
  • Pre-programmed application profiles include safety and control features specific to the application, at no extra cost.

Where can Somar Integra SI be successfully applied?

Due to the highly flexibility of Somar Integra SI and it's predecessors, it has been able to increase motor lifetimes and decrease energy costs on a wide range of applications in real-world working environments. Some of the most ideal applications for such intelligent optimised motor control include:
