Overview

The WEG GPH2050QC4001 is a standard soft starter panel engineered for three-phase induction motors up to 50 HP. This panel supports motor ratings of 40 HP or 50 HP with a starter amperage rating of 61A, operating on a three-phase 460-480 VAC supply. It features an integral bypass contactor rated for AC1 duty, reducing mechanical and electrical stress during motor startup and shutdown. Housed in a Frame Size 2 enclosure, the GPH2050QC4001 is part of WEG’s GPH2 series, designed for controlled acceleration and deceleration in industrial motor control applications. The panel weighs approximately 150 lbs and is ideal for applications requiring soft-start functionality to minimize torque spikes and electrical stress. Always verify motor FLA against the starter's nominal amps for proper sizing. Compatible with motors operating at 460-480 VAC, this panel is manufactured by WEG in Brazil.
