A solid-state starter replaces traditional across the line or Wye-delta magnetic motor starter contactors, which require periodic inspections and maintenance to ensure proper operation. By smoothly controlling the amount of electrical current, solid-state starters eliminate the large surge of motor start-up currents. This eliminates the damage caused by power spikes that can affect other electrical equipment. The result is quieter, smoother, more reliable operation and longer motor life.
Features
The solid-state starter reduces motor damage caused by large spikes on the building’s electrical system. Also incorporated into this product is a reverse phase relay designed to prevent the motor from initiating or running during a line loss.
Application
The solid-state starter can be installed during new installations or retrofitted into existing hydraulic elevators.
Benefits
- Reduced maintenance costs & potential nuisance issues
- Increased electrical efficiency
- Quieter & smoother operation
- Eliminates damage from electrical spikes
