When you're sorting through VFDs and soft starters motor controls, the first question isn't brand or price-it's the motor's voltage and phase. A soft starter built for one power system won't necessarily run on another. Here we're comparing the Stellar SR22-09 with the LVSEDTAL 220V single-phase motor soft starter module. The two units differ not just in price but in voltage rating, condition, and the type of motor they're meant to control. They're built for different motor circuits, so the right pick depends on your existing setup.
Quick verdict: Match the soft starter to your motor's power system. For single-phase motors in a smaller power band, the LVSEDTAL module is the straightforward choice. For an industrial motor that runs on a higher AC voltage, the Stellar SR22-09 is the one to evaluate.
Here's how the two compare:
| Feature | Stellar SR22-09 | LVSEDTAL 220V Module |
| Price | $94.99 | $67.67 |
| Condition | Used | New |
| Input voltage | 480V AC | 220V single phase |
| Model | SR22-09 | SSR-40WA-R1 |
| Rated load | 9 A | 2 kW / 4 kW / 6 kW / 8 kW |
| Origin | United Kingdom | China |
Where each wins:
The Stellar SR22-09 wins for industrial motor control at higher AC voltages, with a 9 FLA rating and a specific Stellar model number. That makes it a candidate for plant-floor equipment where 480V motor circuits are standard. The LVSEDTAL wins for single-phase motor setups, offering a wide motor power range in one assembly-free module, and it's the lower-priced option.
Stellar SR22-09 Soft Starter
The SR22-09 Stellar Soft Starter is built for 480V AC motor control with a 9 amp full-load current rating. That voltage range makes it a candidate for industrial motor circuits that run at 480V, and the Stellar model number gives you a specific reference point for replacement or retrofit work. The tradeoff is condition: this is a used unit, so it's not going to come with the same factory-fresh expectations as a brand-new module. If your system is already 480V and a used unit fits your maintenance approach, this model is the one to evaluate.
LVSEDTAL 220V Single Phase Motor Soft Starter Module
The LVSEDTAL 220V module (SSR-40WA-R1) is an assembly-free soft starter for 220V single-phase motors from 2 kW to 8 kW. It's designed to provide smooth starts and stops, which helps reduce current impact and mechanical stress in equipment like pumps, fans, compressors, and conveyors. Its limitation is the input voltage: it's specifically for 220V single-phase circuits, so it won't work on a 480V motor control system. With its lower price and wide kW range, it's a practical option for smaller single-phase motor setups.
Final choice by use case:
Choose the Stellar SR22-09 if you need industrial soft starting at a higher AC voltage. Choose the LVSEDTAL if you need a single-phase motor soft starter. If you're still uncertain, return to the voltage question-that single specification will settle it.
