This presentation will provide a practical overview of key contr oller technologies—including traditional starters\, soft starters\, and adjustable speed drives—highlighting their operating principles and appl ication considerations. Attendees will gain insight into controller select ion criteria\, motor starting assessments\, and integration strategies tha t ensure compatibility with electrical systems and process requirements. E mphasis will be placed on balancing performance\, protection\, and cost-ef fectiveness while addressing challenges such as power quality\, load chara cteristics\, and system coordination. The session is designed to equip eng ineers\, operators\, and decision-makers with actionable knowledge for opt imizing motor control solutions in medium voltage environments.\n\nCo-spon sored by: Donald G.
