    Decel Mode Application Considerations ® Pump-Flex Deceleration (Soft Stop) is a unique feature of Toshiba Solid State Soft Starters. It provides a slow decrease in the output voltage, accomplishing a gentle decrease in motor torque during the stopping mode. This is the OPPOSITE OF BRAKING in that it will take longer to come to a stop than if the starter were just turned off.

    TE Series Appendix 5 – External Overload Relay Applications Digital Solid State Soft Starters 18 – 1250A Your TE Series starter comes equipped with a very intelligent internal electronic overload protection system, and does not need an external Over Load Relay (OLR). There are instances however where external OLRs are needed or desired because of the application.
