VMX-AGY-101 Soft starter 7.5 kW, 200-600 V, series Agility, Motortronics

Motortronics VMX-AGY-101 — soft starter of the Agility series with 7.5 kW capacity (17 A current) up to 600V. Equipped with an exclusive graphic OLED display for quick parameter setups.

Typical Applications:

• Centrifugal borehole and district circulation pumps
• Intake/exhaust ventilation setups in commercial buildings
• Compact screw and reciprocating air compressors

Pay attention: natively supports the advanced 3S (Smart Start-Stop) algorithm for pumps, preventing water hammer out-of-the-box.

Motortronics Agility Soft Starters — Premium Ultra-Compact Ranges with OLED Display

The Motortronics Agility soft starter series represents a premier three-phase thyristor control solution designed in the USA to fit into a highly compact chassis. Covering motors from 7.5 to 200 kW (currents from 17 to 361 A), the Agility series integrates built-in bypass contactors, full motor protection, and an advanced graphical OLED display. Featuring a unique emergency Fire Mode, it represents an outstanding choice for B2B building utilities and fire protection equipment.

Typical Applications for Motortronics Agility

• Fire Protection and Booster Pumping Stations: The special Fire Mode overrides internal device alarms and safety trips, forcing the soft starter to run to destruction in an emergency.
• Municipal Water and Boreholes: Dedicated water starting and stopping profiles ensure check valves operate quietly without hydraulic shocks.
• Medium-Duty Packaged Conveyors: Symmetrical three-phase startup eliminates drive belt slip and mechanical jerks.

What Differentiates Motortronics Agility from Competitors

Symmetrical three-phase thyristor control combined with a premium OLED screen ensures the Agility provides modern safety, diagnostics, and balanced motor starting compared to legacy two-phase designs.

When Motortronics Agility is NOT Suitable

• For simple localized fan drives where a graphical display is unnecessary — select the cost-efficient ABB PSR.
• For heavy-duty industrial starting duties above 200 kW capacity — choose Schneider ATS480.

Our Commissioning Experience

The Agility is a premium, feature-packed soft starter that B2B engineers love to program. The menu hierarchy, OLED display, and built-in Modbus RTU connection simplify automation integration. We highly recommend specifying it for civil building utilities (pressure booster sets and exhaust fans) where full motor safety and compact panel space are primary requirements.
